Row Indicator Symbols

AUTOPILOT STEERING NAVIGATION

Autopilot Steering Navigation can be engaged and disengaged from the
Main Work screen and displays swath # (AB0), cross-track error (0.00 IN),
age of correction (0.0 SEC), heading direction (360 degrees), and % swath
complete.

ACCUMULATORS

Some data item values can be reset to zero from the Main Work screen. An
accumulator displays (e.g., Area 1 Field, Seed Count, etc.) on the active
screen and can be reset to zero by placing a checkmark in the box next to
the data item. Only accumulators on the currently-displayed screen can be
reset. Accumulators are reset independently and can only be reset when
the master switch is OFF. Once an accumulator has reached its maximum
value, it will roll over to 0.0.

POPULATION ROW SCAN

Pop Row Scan displays all active seed rows population in seeds per acre
(or seeds/Ha) for each detected seed sensor. The value to the left side
displays the current row number being scanned. The value on the right is
the population data. The scans continue sequentially in four-second
intervals unless the rotary knob is used to select a particular row number for
continuous view. This Data Item displays on an entire row of the work
screen.

SINGULATION AVERAGE POPULATION

Singulation Average displays the average percent seed singulation of the
rows that are configured for population. Singulation refers to the portion of
seeds planted individually, rather than in groups.

MATERIAL NAME

Active Material Name for a control channel is user-definable and created at
the Control Channel screen.
