PROFILE DISPLAY window

PROFILE DISPLAY window
 
Displays key information about the install profile, and actual run data is graphed real-time.
 
1

Surface Profile

1. Surface Profile     Surface topography as surveyed by IP survey pass OR design mode (Landrain) prior surveyed topography.
2

Absolute Minimum  Depth Profile

2. Absolute Minimum  Depth Profile     Line indicating the ABSOLUTE minimum depth to avoid being less than, set by the user in the ABS MIN DEPTH control..
3

Target Depth Profile

3. Target Depth Profile     Line indicating the minimum depth to avoid being less than, set by the user in the target depth control.
4

Target "run to" Profile

4. Target "run to" Profile     The calculated target run profile determined by:
 
Profile Mode - Slope Only, Survey Fit, or Design.
               
A. Slope Only - Mode always available, even when NONE selected in the profile control.
 
Simply the slope designated in the min slope control is plotted without regard to any other factors.
 
Depending on the profile selected, slope only behaves as such:
 
With NONE selected in profile control - Behaves as though a laser where being used (NO topography information).
 
With a profile selected - Simply runs the slope selected from the current position, to the end.
 
B. Survey Fit - mode available when an IP survey profile OR network (Landrain) profile has been selected from the Profile control.
 
  1. Min Slope - the minimum slope WHICH IS NEVER VIOLATED.
  2. Target Depth - The preferred depth to try to maintain, with the priority given to minimum slope.
  3. Maximum Depth - The maximum depth to attempt to stay less than, with priority given to all of the above.
  4. Smooth fit factor. - Allow smoothing of transitions
 
C. Design - mode available only when a network (Landrain) profile has been selected from the Profile control.
 
Run strictly to the pre-designed target line from a network file (Landrain).  Min slope and Target depth are disregarded in this case.
 
Tip:  Mode, min slope, and target depth all may be changed while in Control mode.  When changed, will only recalculate from your current position forward.

Maximum Depth Profile

5. Maximum Depth Profile     Line indicating the maximum depth to avoid being exceeded, set by the user in the control parameters.
6

Heads Up Display (HUD)

The HUD displays information in two ways:
 
Normally the HUD displays information pertaining to the machines location within a a profile.
 
6. Heads Up Display (HUD) - The position along the profile line.
- The slope at this position.
- The actual depth below the surface.
- the deviation from the target elevation (of the tile's profile)
 
 
 
However, the user may press on the profile display (touch screen) or click  and hold down the left mouse button to show the following information at any point along the profile:
 
- The position along the profile line.
- The slope at this position.
- The calculated invert depth below the surface.
- The calculated invert elevation.
 
  This may be done at any time, regardless of "auto control" or not.

Elevation Deviation Indicator

7. Elevation Deviation Indicator
 
 
 
Indicates a high condition, meaning the machine need to lower.  Range is 0 to three Deadbands (DB).
The DB is set by the user in the control parameters.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Indicates a low condition, meaning the machine need to raise.  Range is 0 to three Deadbands (DB).
The DB is set by the user in the control parameters.
 
 
 
 
The bar graph is color coded:
 
 
  The elevation deviation from target is less than 1 DB.
 
 
  The elevation deviation from target is greater than 1 DB, but less than 2 DB.
 
 
  The elevation deviation from target is greater than 2 DB.
8

Max Depth Indicator

8. Max Depth Indicator     Shows the location and depth of the maximum depth on the current profile.
9

Minimum Depth Indicator

9. Minimum Depth Indicator     Shows the location and depth of the minimum depth on the current profile.
10

Warning Display

10. Warning Display
This is where alerts and warning are shown, when generated.
 
These can be one of the following:
 
TOO FAR FROM INSTALL PROFILE!
- The machine is greater than 20 feet away from the chosen profile.he machine is greater than 20 feet away from the chosen profile.
 
POOR CONTROL!
- The current elevation deviation is greater than .1 feet and less than .2 feet.
 
CHECK HARDWARE!
- The current elevation deviation from target is greater than .2 feet.  This could indicate the hydraulics are not being controlled.
 
SURVEYING INSTALL PROFILE
- An install profile (IP) is in progress, no profile shown.
 
11

Steer Bar Indicator

11. Steer Bar Indicator
            Steer right indicator                          Steer Left indicator
 
Bar graph, indicating to steer left or right.  The "target" line is based on the current network (Landrain) profile chosen, OR the surveyed IP line.
 
Note that the actual distance from target is displayed.  Beyond 20 feet, "Steer Hard" is displayed.

Graph Graduations

12. Graph Graduations
  • Major - light grey = 1 foot graduations.
  • Minor - dark grey = .1 foot graduations.
