• The Yaw Sensor Status area of the screen displays the yaw sensor diagnostic information:
◦
Yaw Rate - Yaw sense detected by the SmarTrax node.
◦
Zero Yaw Sensor - Displays the offset currently programmed into the system to compensate for
imperfections in Yaw Rate readings.
◦
Zero Yaw Button - Recalibrates the yaw sensor to zero. The machine must be at a full stop before
recalibrating the yaw sensor. The example above shows the Zero Yaw Sensor as already been recalibrated
to 0. During normal operation, the value will likely show a value other than 0.

• Forward and Downward - Indicate the orientation of the node programmed during calibration of the
SmarTrax MD system.
• Yaw Rate, Roll, Pitch, and Yaw - Real-time measurement data used by the 3D terrain compensation feature.
• Current Direction - Indicates the direction in which the machine is traveling. If the direction is incorrect, drive
forward and press the Send Forward Command button. Verify the direction of travel is displayed correctly
when the machine is being driven in both forward and reverse.
• 3D Compensation - Touch the 3D Compensation status button to toggle the 3D compensation features on or
off. When disabled, the SmarTrax MD system will not adjust the displayed guidance path for any machine tilt
during field operations.
• Calibrate - Used to calibrate the 3D terrain compensation feature. Refer to the Enhanced Tilt Calibration
section on page 23 for the calibration procedure.
