Create a Field Boundary

Note:  This feature is only available in CRX software version 22.2 and newer.

Corner flags can be placed at designated points to denote the corners of a field and generate a field boundary from the corners.

To create a boundary via corner flags:

1. Select the Scout Object icon on the Run screen.
2. Select Add next to Scout Features.
3. Select Field Boundary.
4. Select Record Cornerflags.
5. Select Recording point if desired to set the offset point for the recording.

   

6. Drive the machine to one of the corners of the field.

7. Select Place cornerflag. A flag will display on the run screen.

8. Drive the machine to the next corner of the field. A straight, dotted line will be generated from the initial corner flag to the current position of the recording point.

9. If there exists any obstacles between corners, such as ponds or large boulders, that prevent a straight line between corners, select Start Curve and maneuver the machine in a curve around the obstacle. Select Stop Curve once the curve has been completed.

   Note:  When conducting a curve between two corners, the machine must start facing directly away from the last placed corner flag and end the curve facing directly towards the location of the next desired corner flag.

10. At the next corner of the field, select Place cornerflag. Another flag will display with a straight line connecting to the initial corner flag.

    Note:  Some operators may find it more suitable to place two corner flags slightly before and after each corner of the field. This can assist in avoiding obstacles or sharp corner turns.

11. Once all corner flags are placed, select Accept in the bottom, right corner of the screen. The Confirm End Recording window will display.

12. Select Accept to confirm the recording.

    Note:  When creating a boundary via corner flags, the user must select Go to Pre Planning. See Pre-Planning: Adjust Field Boundary and Lines for more details on pre-planning an Operation Plan.

A field boundary can be created by driving the outline of a field and recording the path.

1. Select the Scout Object icon on the Run screen.
2. Select Add next to Scout Features.
3. Select Field Boundary.
4. Select Quick Recording.
5. Select Recording point if desired to set the offset point for the recording.

   

6. Select Start Recording.
7. Drive the desired path of the field boundary.
8. When complete, select Scout Object if the toolbar was closed.
9. Select either Pause Recording or End Recording.

   Note:  Enable the Close automatically option to allow CRX to automatically close the field boundary when the position nears the spot where the field boundary recording started.

10. After selecting End Recording, select Accept to confirm the end of the job if selected.
