Manual Guidance Introduction
Fieldware - SA 2.00 for the Legacy 6000 can be updated to use Manual Guidance. Adding a
Swath-XL lightbar and the Manual Guidance plug-in software allows product application to be per-
formed while receiving guidance information from the Swath XL lightbar. The operator can select
between three different guidance modes; Parallel, Curved and Center Pivot. Using the Manual
Guidance plug-in, it is possible to map field boundaries while applying products around the head-
lands and perform guidance in almost any weather and visibility conditions. Fieldware utilizes the
Swath XL lightbar as a visual aid, minimizing operator fatigue by reducing the need to constantly
watch a display. The lightbar can display cross track error and swath number as well as several
other useful text messages, such as a warning when the vehicle enters a previously applied area.
Fieldware - SA and the Legacy 6000 allow the creation and viewing of an As Applied map of the
field and vehicle swath trajectory while applying product to the field. Application Reports can be
generated in Fieldware Map Manager software.
Straight-line Guidance
The Straight-line mode allows the operator to drive the initial guide line, marking the
start (A) point and the end (B) point. When the initial line (A-B) has been established,
the operator can drive parallel lines with respect to this line. The operator can at any
time during guidance create additional initial A-B guidelines in any orientation. This allows the
operator to employ parallel swathing in as many suitable directions as required within a single
field.
Curved Guidance
In the Curved mode, the operator can make several passes around the field head-
lands and receive curved guidance information via the Lightbar. When the multiple
headland passes are completed the operator has the option to switch to Straight-line
mode or remain in curved guidance mode.
Circle Pivot
The Circle Pivot mode allows the user to drive an initial circle pass, marking the start (A)
point and the end (B) point. This establishes the initial circle guideline. The operator can
now drive parallel circle lines with respect to the initial circle guideline. The Fieldware
software automatically senses when the vehicle is departing one line and approaching a
new line and begin guiding the operator to, and along, the new line. This eliminates the need to
manually notify the software of the desire to move to a new guideline.
Ignore Headlands
The Ignore Headland feature allows the headland passes to be marked and then
ignored if they aren’t going to be used during guidance. This features improves the
guidance information when passing through headlands and trying to lock on to the next
interior pass.
