Antenna Setup
The Antenna Offset setup process is accessed from the Nav 2 Point Setup Menu. The antenna offset is used when you
map a field boundary and need to offset the antenna to map over a feature the vehicle can not drive over. This offset
information can also be used to offset the antenna over the soil sampling probe. As an example, the operator enters a
field for the first time and wants to make a map of the field boundary prior to creating a sample grid and navigating to
soil sample point locations. Your antenna is located center-line of the vehicle on the cab roof. The field is bounded by
a fence line that you can not drive over, therefore you set the antenna offset to one side (RIGHT 15.5 ft.) of the vehicle
and maps the field boundary while driving along side the fence line a distance equal to the Offset Distance. Once the
boundary is mapped you should change the Antenna offset to match the location of the soil sample probe located off
the back of the pickup truck (BACK 21.3 ft.). There are two Antenna Offset menu items associated with the Antenna
Offset Setup process; Offset Direction and Offset Distance. Offset Direction is referenced to direction of travel of the
vehicle.
To access the Antenna menu page, highlight the Setup menu item in the Nav 2 Point Main menu page and press .
This takes you to the Setup menu page, see Figure 4 -10. Within the Setup Menu select the Antenna menu item using
the arrow keys . Press to enter the Antenna menu page. Once in the Antenna menu page, you can change
any of the menu items by highlighting the desired menu item and pressing .
