STRAIGHT-LINE GUIDANCE
Straight-Line Guidance provides vehicle guidance along straight lines based on a reference guide-
line. The initial step is to establish the reference guideline. The reference guideline is used to calcu-
late all other parallel guidelines. Refer to CHAPTER 3 - MARKING POINTS A AND B for additional
information.
To mark the initial Point A, drive along the first swath path. Typically, the guideline is marked along
the longest straight edge of a field boundary. While the vehicle is traveling along the initial swath, the
lightbar will display . As the vehicle travels over the desired Point A location, press the
Enter button to establish Point A.
The lightbar will immediate display . To establish Point B, press the Enter button once the
vehicle travels over the desired Point B location. The reference line is now established. The lightbar
will begin displaying X-Track guidance information as well as user-selected messages that were
defined during Lightbar Setup (refer to CHAPTER 2 - LIGHTBAR for additional information).
Once the reference guideline has been established, the operator can begin Straight-Line Guidance.
The CenterLine software detects which guideline is the closest to the center line of the vehicle and
provides guidance information with respect to that line. As the vehicle travels across the field, new
guidelines parallel to the reference guideline are established based on the swath width value
entered during guidance setup.
