Use a Grid in a Job

Once a grid-enabled operation plan is configured, it can be selected when starting a job.

Note:  For information on configuring a grid, refer to Plan and Configure a Grid.

Enable a Grid for a Job

To use a grid:

  1. Select Existing Job on the right side of the Home screen.

  2. Select the field that was previously configured with the grid-enabled operation plan when resuming an existing job or when starting a new job.

  3. In the Product To Implement Assignment screen, select the signal that the implement is looking for and that matches the grid-enabled operation plan.

  4. Start the job.

Grid In-Job Operation

Grid points will populate in the field depending on which grid mode was selected.

Rectangle/Triangle Mode

In rectangle or triangle mode, all implement sections will turn on and the selected signal will be sent to the connected RCM when the center of the implement drives through the center of a grid point. Grid points will follow the machine, meaning grid points will only load immediately around the machine and not throughout the field.

Three rows of grid points will be rendered with the middle row being the closest row to the implement center.

Note:  Grid points turn green once they have been covered by the implement.

Plot Seeding Mode

In plot seeding mode, implement sections will turn on when the implement is inside a defined plot. Once the center of the implement enters a specific plot (D1, D2, or D3), the signal assigned to that plot will activate, and the signal will deactivate when the center of the implement exists the plot.

Grid Widget

When selected, the grid widget will extend and display detailed statistics about the currently loaded GRID.

The name of the currently selected implement. Will trigger a signal when driving over a grid point.

The current or closest row to the implement. The grid is generated from a certain baselineClosed In RTK correction systems, the baseline is the range between the base and rover.

Alternatively in some Raven field computers, a baseline is a segment of a boundary that can be used to create guidance lines and application zones., a new grid row will be generated at every swath. In the example above, the field has 56 rows, and the implement is currently driving over or closest to row 23.

The next grid point, or plant, that is upcoming in the current row. In the example above, the row contains 72 plants or grid points, and the implement is now driving in the direction of plant 16. Plant 15 could be physically closer to the implement, but only the closest plant in the current driving direction will display in the widget.

The current distance to the next grid point or plant. Once the grid point has been passed, the distance will change to the next grid point.

The total amount of grid points or plants that have already been passed or covered. Driving over a grid point or plant will increase the coverage total by 1.

Select the Settings icon to adjust the angle offset and X/Y offset.

The distance to shift the grid away from the grid origin point. A positive X value will move the grid to the right of the origin, and a negative X value will move the grid to the left of the origin. A positive Y value will move the grid up from the origin, and a negative Y value will move the grid down from the origin.

Note:  The grid origin point will always be point 1.1 of the grid, and will always be the closest point to the beginning of the original baselineClosed In RTK correction systems, the baseline is the range between the base and rover.
