Auto Calibrate
The Auto Calibrate wizard guides the user through the calibration process for the active vehicle. The calibration steps teach the
GeoSteer system the characteristics of the vehicle and the steps are critical to achieve optimal control performance. The Auto
Calibration process can be Paused and Resumed at any point during the process.
Note: The Auto Calibrate wizard takes a significant amount of space for your vehicle to operate within. Depending upon the
vehicle size it may take up to 4.0 acres [approximately 300 x 600 ft] (1.6 ha [approximately 90 x 180 meters]) to complete the
Auto Calibrate procedure.
Note: The vehicle will execute a series of maneuvers during the calibration process including turning full left and full right
The Auto Calibrate wizard provides specific instructions about area, speed, and engine RPM during the process. The
calibration steps and time vary according to vehicle type and equipment installed. Follow the onscreen instructions to perform
the Auto Calibration procedure.
The calibration process can be broken into two areas:
• Common Calibration Steps – These are the steps that all vehicles must perform during the Auto Calibrate wizard.
• Vehicle Type Specific Calibration Steps – Once the Common Calibration Steps have been completed, the Auto Calibrate
wizard will go on to different steps depending on which vehicle type has been selected. The calibration routine for Valve /
Steer-by-Wire, Mechanical Steering Unit / OnTrac2+, and CAN Bus / ISO Controllers are different. The procedures for the
three different types will be discussed later.
To start the Auto Calibrate wizard, press the Auto Calibrate button from the AutoSteer Setup screen. The initial Auto Calibrate
screen is displayed. This screen will be different depending on which vehicle type is being calibrated. The screen will
summarize all the steps required to complete the calibration and an approximate amount of time each step will take. The
following three figures show the Initial Screen for the Auto Calibrate process for each of the three vehicle types.
