TM-1 Set Up & Configuration
TM-1 Configuration
The following sections offer instructions for configuring the TM-1 Tilt Module with a laptop or personal
computer, a SmarTrax™ controller, or one of the various Raven consoles or field computers.
Note:
When routing tilt corrected signal through a SmarTrax™ controller, the TM-1 will need to be
calibrated through the SmarTrax™ controller rather than the Raven guidance console or field
computer. The SmarTrax controller will require software version 3.0 or higher to properly configure
the TM-1 Tilt Module. See the SmarTrax™ Quick Start Guide or Operator’s Manual for more
information.
TM-1 configuration screens will only be available if the TM-1 has been connected to the console
properly. If the calibration screens are not available, verify installation according to the instructions
in Chapter 2, Installation.
