System Setup
Modes of Operation
In Fieldware - SA for the Legacy 6000 there are three modes of operation: Guidance Only, Log
Data Only, and Application Rate control. The system is configured to operate in one of these
modes during the system setup process.
Guidance Only Mode
The Guidance Only mode is used when only machine guidance is required. There is no rate con-
troller in use during the guidance only operation. A rate controller may be running on the vehicle,
but it is not interfacing with the Legacy 6000 console. In Guidance Only mode, with a PC card
inserted into the console, it is possible to collect where-applied data and use this data to create an
Application Report in Fieldware Map Manager. To run in Guidance Only mode, the Rate Controller
menu item must be set to None. See “Controller Setup” on page 2-31 for more information on how
to do this. Table 2-3 lists the proper setting to perform guidance only operations.
The Manual Guidance software activation is required to operate in this mode. See Table 2-1.
Log Data Mode
Log Data mode allows the collection of where-applied or as-applied data, without running guid-
ance. The Legacy 6000 can run in Log Data mode with or with-out a rate controller attached. If no
rate controller is attached, the data collected is Where-Applied data. Where-Applied data contains
the vehicle trajectory only. No rate information is saved in the file. If a rate controller is connected
to the console, and product is being applied, Log Data mode collects As-Applied data. As-Applied
data contains the vehicle trajectory and product application rate information.
To operate in Log Data mode, set the Lightbar setting to either Off or Text Only. If Text only is
selected, the lightbar can be used to view messages such as Area Applied and Ground Speed. If
Off is selected, a lightbar is not needed to collect data. Table 2-3 lists the proper settings to operate
in Log Data mode.
