The control box saves and stores previous settings, elevation offsets,
and the cross-slope calibration. Upon power-up, the 9168 control box
applies these settings, offsets, and calibrations. Except for variable
day-to-day measurements of the receiver and the screed, you can use
saved calibrations and adjustments for several weeks or months.
Connectors
The connectors (Figure 3-5) supply power to the mmGPS 3D Paver
machine and link system sensors and components installed on the
machine with the 9168 control box.
