2. Select the Steering Setup tab.

   

3. Select the Guidance Setup Menu button.

   

   Review the following sections for assistance with selecting the appropriate guidance options for your application.

Guidance Partner

Use the drop-down list to select the desired guidance partner.

Guidance Mode

Select one of the following modes for guidance operations:

• GPS - Guidance is performed via GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System guidance points only.
• Vision - Guidance is performed via the VSN® camera only. GNSS corrections are neither utilized for guidance nor available as a fall-back solution. Line acquire must be performed manually. When the solution quality falls below the minimum threshold, the steering system will disengage.
• Vision+ - Guidance is performed via a combination of GNSS and the VSN® camera. This mode may be utilized for line acquire via GNSS with the system switching to the VSN® camera when the machine is aligned and near the guidance line. This mode will also fall back to GNSS guidance if the solution quality falls below the minimum threshold. The system will then return to VSN® guidance automatically when the solution quality is above the minimum threshold.

Automation Level

Set the mode for devices installed in an OMNiDRIVE™ or OMNiPOWER™ system:

• GPS Only - Stream GNSS correction information only. Select this option for guidance only applications or to stream corrections to a separate automated steering system.
• Steering Only - Use the guidance and auto-steering features of the device. Select this option for automated tractor or sprayer steering applications.
• Autonomy Driverless - Select this option to enable features for autonomous systems such as OMNiDRIVE™.

  Note:  DirecSteer® does not support Autonomous operations.

Guidance Path Partner

Displays the recognized device which provides a guidance path for the automated steering system.

1. From the auto-steer Home page, select the Tools button.

   

2. Select the Steering Setup tab.

   

3. Select the Guidance Setup Menu button.

   

   Review the following sections for assistance with selecting the appropriate guidance options for your application.

Guidance Partner

Use the drop-down list to select the desired guidance partner.

• RGM - Shared guidance line from the tractor. This is the preferred mode for implement steering.
• Raven Field Computer - The auto-steer system is receiving the guidance line from a compatible Raven field computer such as a CR7®+ or CR12®+.
• Internal Guidance - SC1™ implement is used for stand-alone steering and does not receive a guidance line from a field computer.

Guidance Mode

Select one of the following modes for guidance operations:

• GPS - Guidance is performed via GNSS guidance points only.
• Vision - Guidance is performed via the VSN® camera only. GNSS corrections are neither utilized for guidance nor available as a fall-back solution. Line acquire must be performed manually. When the solution quality falls below the minimum threshold, the steering system will disengage.
• Vision+ - Guidance is performed via a combination of GNSS and the VSN® camera. This mode may be utilized for line acquire via GNSS with the system switching to the VSN® camera when the machine is aligned and near the guidance line. This mode will also fall back to GNSS guidance if the solution quality falls below the minimum threshold. The system will then return to VSN® guidance automatically when the solution quality is above the minimum threshold.

Skip Line Acquire

Note:  This option is only available if the Guidance Partner is set to Internal.

Enable the Skip LA When Row Guidance Quality High feature to use VSN® solutions instead of the auto-steer system.

When enabled, the auto-steering system will not attempt to line-acquire when the quality from VSN® is above the threshold set via the VSN® system.

Note:  For internal guidance systems, make sure to input the implement working width.

1. From the auto-steer Home page, select the Tools button.
