Antenna Setup
The Antenna Offset setup process is accessed from the Mapper 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 mapping 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 mapping points or general areas in the field.
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 bound-
ary 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 antenna. The Mapper application will mark all points,
lines and polygons from the designated location of the antenna. There are two Antenna Offset menu items associated
with the Antenna Offset Setup process; Offset Direction and Offset Distance. Offset Direction is referenced to direc-
tion of travel of the vehicle.
To access the Antenna menu page, use the touchscreen or highlight the Setup menu item in the Mapper Main menu
page and press . This takes you to the Setup menu page, see Figure 5-7. 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 .
