Introduction
The IntelliView III can serve as the operator interface:
• for precision planting, harvesting and spraying applications,
• for IntelliSteer™ software,
• for vehicle specific applications – e.g., Yield Monitor, As Applied or prescriptive planting, spraying, Performance
Monitor,
• and the Virtual Terminal for vehicles, implements and systems that conform to ISO 11783.
Layered architecture
The IntelliView III uses a layered application architecture
to greatly simplify the learning curve for any operator.
Each layer inherits the capabilities of the previous layer.
This creates standard resources, tools and screens for all
applications.

Framework
Shared resources, tools and screens – the framework
layer in the illustration – mean less time for learning and
more time for using programs on the IntelliView III.

Shared resources may be operator preferences, imple-

ment descriptions, crop types, grower-farm-field-task
structure, etc. Entered once, this information is shared
data which is available in any vehicle and in any software
application on the display. RCPH09DSP002BAG 1

Standard pop up key pads and option windows are ex-

amples of shared tools. The same tools are used to cre-
ate lists, to select options and to enter names or values.
Learned once, they are accessed and used in the same
way by every application on the display.

Common icons and home screen organization simplify

navigation through all software applications on the dis-
play.

Vehicle
Increasingly, the IntelliView III will be an operator’s pri-
mary tool for interfacing with the vehicle, whether a tractor,
combine, sprayer or planter. On some combines today,
the operator not only monitors but alsocontrols harvest
operations directly from the IntelliView III. On some ve-
hicles, the operator controls automated steering with the
IntelliView III.

The vehicle uses the IntelliView III to communicate its

unique control and monitoring needs to the operator, while
offering greater performance control and feedback.

ISO 11783
Created by the International Organization for Standard-
izations (ISO), 11783 is an electronic standard for agricul-
tural equipment.

The standard addresses every aspect of how control and

communication in agricultural vehicles, displays, imple-
ments, software, data storage, cables and even connec-
tors must be standardized and simplified to increase a
farmer’s equipment options.

When used as the Virtual Terminal for an ISO 11783 im-

plement, the IntelliView III receives its control and report-
ing functions for the implement from the implement. (The
implement uploads its windows to the display.) These
functions and windows are the responsibility of the imple-
ment manufacturer.
RCPH09DSP002BAG 2
Read the Operator’s Manual from the implement manu-
facturer before using the implement. Obey all safety mes-
sages in the manual and on the implement decals when
using the implement.

Manual scope
The New Holland farming software available for the Intel-
liView III takes full advantage of its layered architecture.
There are vehicle applications, farming applications (e.g.,
harvesting, planting, etc.) and extended feature applica-
tions (e.g., Precision Farming, Trip Computer, etc.) which
may be layered together in your display.

In this context, the software operating manuals are chang-

ing as well.

The base manual for all applications is the display manual.

An application manual is then available for any vehicle
specific or farming function software.

The purpose of this display manual is:

• to explain the standard tools used by all applications
on the IntelliView III,
• to explain software navigation for all applications on
the display,
• to introduce the common Toolbox screens used by ev-
ery application on the display,
• to introduce the Precision Farming components used
by all PLM applications,
• to introduce generic calibrations,
• to introduce the common Data Management screens
• and to introduce the common Diagnostic screens.

By reading this manual, an operator will have 50 percent

of the knowledge and skills needed to use any application
available for the IntelliView III.

Display
Display installation and removal
The IntelliView III can be easily moved from one vehicle
to another.

Remove the display with its support from the vehicle

mounting and transfer to another vehicle.

OR

Remove the four screws connecting the support to the

display and transfer the display only to another vehicle.

RCPH09DSP002BAF 1

Memory stick
A industry-standard USB memory stick is used to store
and retrieve information during farming operations.

Memory sticks from different makers and in different sizes

are available from computer supply resellers. The recom-
mended storage capacity is 4 GB.

RCPH09DSP001AAF 2

The memory stick is inserted into the USB slot on the back
side of the IntelliView III. Push the memory stick in until
fully seated.

The memory stick must be inserted before the display is

powered for the system to detect its presence.
NOTE: To avoid data corruption, never remove the mem-
ory stick until the display is powered down completely.

RCPH09DSP003BAF 3

Screen care
The screen area of the monitor should only be cleaned
with a soft nonabrasive type cloth and window cleaner.
Do not use solvent type cleaners.

RCPH09DSP004BAF 4

Storage case
A display case may be provided to protect the monitor
during transport between vehicles or for storage. During
the winter months, place the display in the case and store
it in a controlled environment.

RCPH09DSP005BAF 5

Display power on and power off

When the key switch is turned ON, the IntelliView III dis-
plays its startup page and sounds one long beep to indi-
cate that it is starting.

RCPH09DSP420AAF 6

1-6
 1 - GENERAL

When the key switch is turned off, there is delay before

the screen goes blank. During the delay, the IntelliView III
uses unswitched power to save the current settings and
to close all files in display memory or on the memory stick.

The screen displays a “DO NOT REMOVE THE MEM-

ORY STICK” icon until the display has completely pow-
ered down. If the memory stick is removed before all files
are properly closed, data loss can occur.

The IntelliView III sounds three short beeps when the

process is complete.

The absence of the short beeps may indicate that

unswitched power to the display is not present. The
absence of unswitched power can corrupt or lose infor-
mation on the memory stick. RCPH09DSP007BAF 7

Check the cab unswitched power fuses for the display,

or contact your New Holland dealer for assistance. This
problem must be resolved for proper display performance.

 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS

Windows
Except for the home screen (explained later), all screens
are composed of windows. The screen example shown
has ten windows, separated by grid lines.

There are two types of windows: control and reporting.

Control windows are used by an operator to stop or start a

function or to select the operational mode for a function –
e.g., On, Off, manual, automatic. Other control windows
are used to provide a required parameter – name, date or
time, crop type, implement, distance, height, etc.
RCPH09DSP002AAF 1

Reporting windows report status or a measurable value –

speed, position, consumption, population, yield, area, etc.
As such, reporting windows are seldom user-modifiable,
and resetting a counter is the only user-action permitted.
NOTE: Icons and screen navigation are discussed in the
next chapter.
Window components always include a label (1) and a field
(2), and optionally a graphic icon (3).

The label describes what a window is displaying. The icon

identifies graphically what the window is displaying.

The field is a container for data.

RCPH09DSP003AAF 2

Pre-defined option windows

The shape of the field indicates how it functions.

A down arrow next to the field indicates that a pop up

window with predefined options is available.
NOTE: The options are predefined by the software appli-
cation.

Press the field to display the window.

RCPH09DSP004AAF 3

The pop up window displays in the center of the screen.

through the window options. Press the up arrow in the
scroll bar to page up through the window options. Use
multiple presses to page through an extensive list of
options in the direction selected.
RCPH09DSP006AAF 5

The location box in the scroll bar indicates the location of

the current page in the scrolling list: this page is located
midway through the list.

The size of the location box decreases as the number of

scrollable pages increases in the scrolling list.

RCPH09DSP014AAF 6

Input data windows

A field with a single border and no down arrow indicates:

• a field that requires text input or a selection from the

operator,
• a field that requires numeric input or a selection from
the operator.

The label and context indicate what type of input or selec-

tion is required. A name field requires a name, a distance RCPH09DSP015AAF 7
field requires a measured distance, etc.

Press the field to display the pop up options window.

The pop up window displays in the center of the screen.

If no entries were previously entered for the field, the only

option is “New” – to create a new entry.

Thereafter, the choices are “Select,” “Edit Name” or

“New.”

Use “Select” to pick an entry from the user-created list.

Use “Edit Name” to edit the name for the currently se-
lected entry on the list. RCPH09DSP016AAF 8

RCPH09DSP007AAF 1

Applications change keypads to fit their needs.

The character sets on the alphanumeric keypad may vary

between your New Holland farming applications and Vir-
tual Terminal (ISO11783) applications.

In general, the applications support both uppercase and

lowercase alphabets (toggle using the up arrow button),
and extended character sets beyond the alphabet.

RCPH09DSP008AAF 2

Some applications support both an alphanumeric and a

numeric keypad; and based on the field selected, the ap-
propriate keypad is supplied to enter the required data.

The use of both uppercase and lowercase letters when

creating entries improves readability on the display.

RCPH09DSP009AAF 3

Applications customize the numeric keypads as well.

Status/warning icon area

The vehicle determines the location and the size of the
status/warning icon area. The icon area may have two or
three rows. It may be located anywhere in the left hand
area – top, bottom, etc.

Nonetheless, the status/warning icon area has the same

function across all applications and vehicles; and the
icons behave in the same way across all applications and
vehicles.

The status/warning icon area is present on all screens

and has two basic functions:
• the warning icons alert the operator that some compo-
nent is not functioning as expected,
RCPH09DSP009BAF 1
• the status icons alert the operator about the current
state of an event.
Red is the color of Danger. Icons reporting Danger flash
continuously, are always shown first in the status area,
and only clear when the dangerous condition is removed.

Danger icons mean:

• Safe operation of the vehicle is not possible; Stop the
vehicle.
• An immediate hazardous situation is present. If not
avoided, the situation will result in death or serious
injury.
• A critical component or condition needed for proper
vehicle operation is not present.

RCPH09DSP010BAF 2

The window contains:

• the Stop icon,
• the fault message,
• an icon for the problem area,
• a fault code reference, with a prefix identifying the
source and the number,
• a brief explanation of the dangerous condition, and
• an instruction on where to find more information.

A Danger message can only be acknowledged and mo-

mentarily cleared by pressing the OK button. The fault
must be corrected to stop the message from reoccurring.

More information is available in the Fault screen in Diag-

Yellow is the color of Caution. Caution icons

are shown after danger icons in the status
area, or first when no danger icons are
present. Caution icons only clear when their
cause is removed.

Caution icons mean:

• Operation of the vehicle is possible with the loss of one
or more functions. The operator must decide whether
to continue operating with the loss of the function indi-
cated.
• A potentially hazardous situation is present. If not
avoided, the situation could result in loss of vehicle
control, loss of data, or minor to moderate system
damage.
RCIL10DSP279AAG 4
• A default value has been manually overridden by an
operator using a window on a Run screen.
• An unsafe practice is in progress.

Caution icons are accompanied by a pop up window (ex-

The window contains:
• the Caution icon,
• the fault message,
• an icon for the problem area,
• a fault code reference, with a prefix identifying the ap-
plication and the number,
• a brief explanation of the condition, and
• an instruction on where to find more information.

 2 - ICONS AND WINDOWS

A Caution message can be acknowledged in two ways:

Press the OK button to acknowledge and

clear the message, but leave fault detection
enabled for the specific item which caused the
fault. As long as the fault condition is present,
the warning icon continues to flash in the
status/warning indicator area, and an audible
alarm sounds every 10 seconds. If the fault
condition clears, the warning icon clears and
the alarm is suppressed, but the system still
monitors the specific item.

Press the Ignore button to acknowledge the

message and disable fault detection for the
specific item which caused the fault. The icon
remains in the status area as a reminder that
the condition is still present, but the icon is
dimmed (or disabled) and no longer flashes.
The audible alarm is also suppressed.

NOTICE: Don’t use Ignore to acknowledge a message

unless there is a known sensor problem for which repairs
must be delayed until a replacement sensor is available.

Fault detection for the specific item is re-enabled at the

next power cycle or by operator activation on the Fault
Archive screen in Diagnostics.

The message window does not re-display.

Refer to the Fault screen in Diagnostics for more informa-

tion on the active fault code (Home > Diagnostics > Fault).
Most status icons communicate simpler messages:
• an object is present or missing,
• a function is enabled or disabled,
• a tool is raised or lowered.

Choose advanced if you intend to record the results of

your farming operations for analysis with the desktop soft-
ware. This includes summary data, as applied data and
yield and moisture harvest results. Choose basic if you
do not intend to record production results.
NOTE: Advanced mode is required for mapping and desk-
top software analysis.

The individual software applications – Precision Farming,

Autoguidance, harvesting, planting – control the effect of
the basic or advanced setting on the software.

Choosing basic simplifies the Precision Farming data

structure: fewer windows are needed to perform opera-
tions and temporarily store information in display memory.

Run screen layouts

Run screen layouts are saved to the vehicle type and
are not saved with the other operator preferences. The
operator creates layout screens for the vehicle in use.
Run screens layouts created for one vehicle type can be
shared with other vehicles of the same type, but cannot
be accessed on another vehicle type, nor imported into
another vehicle type.

To change the layout of the Run screens, the operator

must create a new layout.

Vehicle name
Use the Vehicle Name window:
• to create a user-friendly name for the current vehicle in which the IntelliView III is installed for importing and sharing
data between vehicles.
With the IntelliView III, information can be shared:
• between farming applications,
• between vehicles of the same type (tractor to tractor),
• between vehicles of different types (combine to tractor
and vice versa),
• and between the display and the desktop software.

The information exchange occurs by sharing the mem-

ory stick between vehicles and/or the desktop software.
To accomplish this, the display and farming applications
need a means to differentiate one vehicle from another.

Each vehicle already has a unique identification number

– its product identification number (PIN) or serial number.
No other vehicle, whether a combine, a tractor or sprayer,
has the same PIN or serial number.

The IntelliView III transparently identifies the information

from each vehicle using its PIN or serial number.
RCPH09DSP017BAF 1
The Vehicle Name window allows an operator to supply
a more user-friendly name for the vehicle. This vehicle
name, once created, is what appears in the display and
the desktop software.
NOTE: The vehicle PIN or serial number is entered at soft-
ware installation on the display. On tractors, the Vehicle
screen in the Toolbox is the only location where the PIN
displays. On large combines, the Combine screen in the
Toolbox is the only location where the serial number dis-
plays. When using a generic vehicle, the Vehicle Name
window is only available on the Run screens and there is
no identification of the vehicle by its PIN or serial number.
NOTE: The Vehicle Name window can also be placed on

PRECISION FARMING: BUILDING BLOCKS

Precision Farming: building blocks

The Precision Farming application adds a unique set of tools to enable data collection in your farming application.
Precision Farming is transparent when present, but is used by the Performance Monitor, Autoguidance, harvesting,
planting and spraying applications. Its presence can be detected by a common set of screens which it adds to Toolbox,
Performance and Diagnostics.

This chapter explains:

• the building blocks of Precision Farming – grower, farm, field, task, crop type, tag – on the Profile screen in Per-
formance and the Run screens and
• the additional tools – implement, work condition, operator, operation, operational instance– which may be present
on the Profile or Run screens as required by differing applications.

Building blocks
Grower, farm, field, task, crop type and tag are the basic
building blocks of precision farming and are the primary fil-
ters for viewing production results. With the exception of
the Tag window, these windows must be populated when-
ever precision farming software is present.

With the exception of task, the information for the windows

can be created on the display and shared between vehi-
cles. Task information is vehicle specific and can only be
entered on the display.
RCPH09DSP085AAF 1

Individual applications, then, determine whether the Im-

plement, Work Condition, Operator, Operation or Oper-
ational Instance windows are required. Implement is re-
quired whenever the vehicle is a tractor; and the Imple-
ment window is added to the Profile screen for tractors.

Work Condition is required on combines when the ACS

feature is used, on tractors when the Hitch Notebook is
used, and on planters (with the As Applied software) for
tying an implement to product and layer assignments.
RCPH09DSP086AAF 2
The Operator, Operation and Operational Instance win-
dows are added to the Run screens (not the Profile
screen) based on operator preference or need.
The selections in the windows on the Profile screen are
the active data set for which production results are logged.
The windows are grouped on the Profile screen for easy
operator access. Any of the windows can be added to any
Run screen for operator convenience.

The data set has a hierarchical structure: For each

grower, there can be many farms. For each farm, there
can be many fields. For each field, there can be many
tasks. Task is the lowest level in which data is stored,
and each task can only have one crop type and one tag.

Grower
Precision Farming organizes data collected on the dis-
play for your farming operations by growers, farms, fields,
tasks and tags. 150 growers may be created, and each
grower is assigned a unique identification number.

A grower is an independent agri-business.

A grower may work a single farm or many farms. A grower

may also provide contract services – planting, spraying,
harvesting – to other growers.

As such, the grower is always linked to a farm in Precision RCPH09DSP088AAF 6

Farm and field

To the display and desktop software, a farm is a large
geographical entity, composed of smaller entities called
fields, all defined by GPS coordinates. All crop production
tasks occur within a field, which is part of a larger entity
called a Farm.

As such, all crop production tasks are linked to a field, and

the field is linked to a farm.

A field contains one crop type this year. Next year the
same field is planted with a different crop type. And in
RCPH09DSP092AAF 11
areas where two crops per growing season are typical,
the same field may contain two different crop types in the
same year.

The display and desktop software treat the field as a geo-

graphical container in which the crop tasks and production
data are recorded for this season or this year. Those crop
tasks and their production results have a relatively short
life span when compared to the life span of the field and
farm, so field, task and crop type are independent.
The window options for a farm are the same as those for
a grower.

Use “Select” to pick a farm from the user-defined list of

farms/fields:
1. If “Select” is pressed, a pop up option window of cur-
rent farms/fields displays.
2. Press the required farm/field.

Task
A task is the performance of work (with an implement)
on a specific crop type in one field of one farm for one
grower. For example:
• When planting, an operator (using planter Z) may plant
corn of a certain seed brand and coating (tag) in field
FD321 on Plank Road farm for grower AB Farms.
• When spraying, an operator (using sprayer Y) may
spray herbicide of a certain brand (tag) in field FD321
on Plank Road farm for grower AB Farms.
• When harvesting, an operator may combine soybeans RCPH09DSP101AAF 21
of a certain seed brand (tag) in field FD321 on Plank
Road farm for grower AB Farms.

A new task is automatically created when a field is cre-

ated. The software creates the task name which is the
date and time stamp for the task – yy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss.

yy = year
mm = month
dd = day
hh = hour
mm = minute
ss = second
NOTE: The format for the auto-generated task name can-
not be changed and is not influenced by the selection in
the Date Format window on the Operator Setup screen in
the Toolbox.

An operator may edit the task name, if desired. A new

task can be created at any time.

Each task is limited to approximately 8 hours of operation

(system collecting GPS data). After that time period, a
message displays to alert the operator that a new task
has been automatically created.

In some cases, then, depending on its duration, the work

performed in the field may be composed of multiple tasks.

1200 tasks maximum may be created.

 3 - SETUP

Operating notes
Whenever the As Applied application is present, use the
Product window, not the Tag window, to describe differ-
ences in seed varieties and brands.

All summary data and GPS data is stored at the task

level. To make this information more usable to the user:
• Only one tag may be assigned to a task. When a
different Tag is required during the current work, the

Tag
A tag acts like an electronic note for the grower or operator
to save another variable in crop production and to filter
production results for that variable. This may be useful,
for example, to identify seed varieties when harvesting.

The tag is linked to the task, and only one tag may be
assigned to a task. 100 tags maximum may be created,
and a unique ID is assigned to each tag.

When multiple vehicles are used, the tags should be cre-

ated on one vehicle and then transferred to the other ve-
RCPH09DSP107AAF 27
hicles via the memory stick. This ensures that tags are
identified by a uniform set of IDs across all vehicles.

This ensures that implements are identified by a uniform
set of identification numbers across all vehicles. Refer
to the tractor software manual for additional information.
In some cases, specific vehicle settings are stored to the
implement so the settings are recalled whenever that im-
plement is used. RCPH09DSP111AAF 31

An implement can only be created or changed when the

vehicle is not working – that is, no data is being collected.

Additional windows
The individual farming applications determine whether the
Work Condition, Operator, Operation and Operational In-
stance windows are required. These windows are not a
part of the Profile screen in Performance. The operator
may add the windows to any Run screen or view them on
screens that are unique to the vehicle.

Work condition
In many instances, vehicle settings must change based
on the work being performed, weather conditions, field
conditions or crop conditions. The Work Condition win-
dow describes the settings for the condition. For exam-
ple, a vehicle may have different settings for dry product
versus wet product, dry field conditions versus wet field
conditions. Storing the settings by the different conditions
allows an operator to quickly change vehicle setup by se-
lecting the proper Work Condition. Refer to the vehicle
manual for the specific settings which can be saved un-
der a Work Condition. RCIL10DSP434AAG 1

A name for the weather, field condition or crop condition

Operational Instance, if present

In many cases, an operation is only performed once in a
field for a crop type in a growing season: plowing, seed-
ing, harvesting, etc. However, there are circumstances
where the same operation needs to be performed more
than once in a growing season for a crop type. The Oper-
ational Instance window is available to separate the data
collected for the first operation from any repeated opera-
tions.

For example, when heavy rains flood areas of a field and

a crop type must be replanted, increment the value in the
RCIL10DSP441AAG 11
Operational Instance window to “2” for the second plant-
ing: planting is the operation and “2” is the second in-
stance. In this way, the coverage data from the first plant-
ing does not effect the second planting in section or over-
lap control, and the total applied acreage does not conflict
with the total field acres.

For example, multiple applications of a herbicide are

sometimes required to control invasive weeds. The same
product is applied to the same crop type in the same
field on two separate occasions. A different operational
instance is used for each application. In this way, the
coverage data from the first application does not affect
the second application in section or overlap control, and
the total applied acreage does not conflict with the total
field acres.

Unique data – coverage, as applied or performance – is

stored for each instance of the operation. When a new
instance is created or selected with the window, cover-
age and “as applied” data collection begins for the new
instance, and a new task is created.

A new operational instance can only be created or se-

lected when the vehicle is not working.

Press the Operational Instance window to access the pop

up options window.

3 - 17
 3 - SETUP

Use “Select” to choose an existing operational instance

for the current field. Any coverage or “as applied” data
associated with the instance is loaded.

Use “New” to create a new operational instance. The

maximum number of instances is 10. The first instance
for any operation does not need to be selected; the sys-
tem supplies instance “1” for all operations performed for
a crop type in a field automatically.
NOTE: Only one operation and operational instance is
assigned to a task. Additional tasks inherit the operation RCIL10DSP442AAG 12

and instance from the previous task. If no data exists for

the current field and operation, the instance defaults to 1.

Season setup, if present

In many cases an operator may wish to keep several
years’ data on a single storage device. The date selected
in the Season Setup window is the date that marks a new
season of operations.

On this date, all tasks from the ending season are cleared
from the maps and are no longer selectable on the dis-
play’s summary data or run screens. A new task is cre-
ated for the current operation, and its operational instance
RCIL10DSP443AAG 13
is reset to 1. The operational instance is also reset to 1
for all other operations during the new season.
NOTE: All data from the past season(s) remains acces-
sible in the Data Management screens and the desktop

PRECISION FARMING: MAPS AND MAP TOOLS

Work map
This chapter explains the use of maps and map tools on the Run screens.

The Precision Farming application offers two different map types: the work map and the swath map. The work map
documents the results for the current operation; the swath map is a single layer map used to view swath alignment
(overlap and skip) and to align to the next swath.
Work maps vary with the farming application:
• Coverage maps show the work path of the vehicle or
implement through the field during the current oper-
ation. This is the default setting when the display is
powered. The coverage map is common to all farming
applications.
• Application maps show the “as applied” rate for the
product – e.g., seed, fertilizer, etc., – as the vehicle
and implement, if applicable, move through the field.
• Prescription maps show the prescribed rate of applica-
tion for the product in the field or sections of the field.
• Yield maps show harvest results – ton/ha (bushels/
acre) and moisture (%M) – as the vehicle moves
through the field.
• Performance maps show an aspect of vehicle produc-
tivity – for example, fuel economy – as the vehicle and
implement, if applicable, move through the field.

 3 - SETUP

Map sizes
Four different work map windows – Map 1 x 4, Map 2 Coverage map 1 x 4 example
x 3, Map 2 x 4 and Map 2 x 5 – are available for the
Run screens which differ in size only and not function.
The first number of the Map label indicates the number
of columns used on the Run screens, while the second
number indicates the number of rows.

Some applications permit placement of the 1 x 4 map win-

dow in the left hand area. When the 1 x 4 map is in the
left hand area and on a Run screen, the left hand area has
priority. When the Run screen is viewed, the 1 x 4 map
only displays in the left hand area.
RCPH09DSP123AAF 1
When the 1 x 4 map is in the left hand area and a larger
map (2 x 3, 2 x 4, 2 x 5) is on a Run screen, the Run
screen has priority. When the Run screen with the larger Coverage map 2 x 3 example
map is viewed, the map only displays on the Run screen.
NOTE: Even though map windows can be placed on mul-
tiple Run screens, there is only one map. Changing the
data displayed on one Run screen changes all maps on
different Run screens to the same settings. Changing the
zoom setting works the same way.

Map 1 x 4 on a Run screen with a 2 x 4 layout is larger

than Map 1 x 4 on a Run screen with a 2 x 6 layout.

Map 2 x 5 on a Run screen with a 2 x 5 layout fills the

Swath map
The swath map is a single layer map used to view swath
alignment, overlap and skip and to align to the next swath.

Map sizes Swath map 1 x 4 example

Two different swath map windows – Swath Map 1 x 4 and
Swath Map 2 x 5 – are available for the Run screens which
differ in size only and not function. The first number of
the map label indicates the number of columns used on
the Run screens, while the second number indicates the
number of rows.

Some applications permit placement of the 1 x 4 swath

map window in the left hand area. When the 1 x 4 swath
map is in the left hand area and on a Run screen, the left
hand area has priority. When the Run screen is viewed, RCIL10DSP285AAG 1

the 1 x 4 map only displays in the left hand area.

Swath map 2 x 5 example
When the 1 x 4 map is in the left hand area and the larger
swath map (2 x 5) is on a Run screen, the Run screen
has priority. When the Run screen with the larger map is
viewed, the map only displays on the Run screen.

RCIL10DSP286AAG 2

Vehicle
A generic symbol for the vehicle type – tractor, combine,
sprayer, etc – represents the vehicle in the swath map.
The map always offers a zoomed-in view of the current
position of the vehicle in relation to the two swaths on
either side of the vehicle.

RCIL10DSP287AAG 3

Vehicle position on the swath maps is fixed in the map

window. The field and swath pattern rotates around the
fixed position of the vehicle on the map when the vehicle
changes heading.

RCIL10DSP288AAG 4

3 - 34
 3 - SETUP

The swath map is particularly beneficial for aligning to the

correct swath after the end of row turn or when working a
spiral or circular pattern, when working at night.

RCIL10DSP289AAG 5

View angles
The swath map offers three view angles: 20 °, 45 ° and 90
°. The angles provide different perspectives of the vehicle
relative to the horizon when an observer views the vehicle
from behind.

RCPH09DSP018BAF 6

A 90 ° view angle (red angle) means the observer is view-

ing the vehicle directly from above the vehicle.

RCIL10DSP287AAG 7

A 45 ° view angle (blue angle) means the observer is view-

ing the vehicle at a 45 ° down angle toward the horizon.

RCIL10DSP290AAG 8

 3 - SETUP

A 20 ° view angle (green) means the observer is viewing

the vehicle at a 20 ° down angle toward the horizon.

RCIL10DSP292AAG 10

Contents
If the vehicle is working, the swath map displays the swath
width for the vehicle with its implement or header as a
green area outlined in black as the vehicle moves. If the
vehicle is not working, no swath information is mapped as
the vehicle moves.
NOTE: The color used for coverage has no significance:
it does not represent a level of yield, application or perfor-
mance results.

RCIL10DSP293AAG 11

If the Autoguidance application is present and a recorded

swath is selected for the field, the swath map also displays
the current autoguidance swath as a red line, and the two
autoguidance swaths on either side of the current swath
as blue lines. The recorded swath also displays if present
in the map window.

The autoguidance swath pattern is always overlaid on the

working swaths when Autoguidance is present.

RCIL10DSP286AAG 12

The swath map also displays any field marks, boundaries

and obstacles present in the current view of the field. The
display of marks, boundaries and obstacles is automatic
and cannot be toggled off by any operator control on the
swath map.

RCIL10DSP294AAG 13

 3 - SETUP

Swath alignment
The swath map shows problems with swath alignment as
in this example where vehicle offset was not properly en-
tered. A pattern of overlap in one pass, followed by skip
in the next pass, indicates that the implement or header
was not setup properly.

This may occur:

• if the implement or header is offset on the vehicle, but
no offset value is entered,
• if the wrong value was entered for the offset amount,
RCIL10DSP295AAG 14
• or if the wrong direction was entered for the offset: a
plus value was used for the offset amount instead of a
minus value, or vice versa.
The swap map shows problems with the implement or
header width definition, resulting in a pattern of consis-
tent skips or overlap between all rows. This may oc-
cur when values for the implement/header width and the
swath/working width are incorrect. If the same value is
entered for swath/working width and implement/header
width, a skip pattern between all rows occurs.

If the values for implement/header width and swath/work-

ing width are switched, an overlap pattern between all
rows occurs.
RCIL10DSP296AAG 15

RCIL10DSP297AAG 16

The swath map also shows any intentional overlaps cre-

ated when finishing a field.

PRECISION FARMING: FIELD BOUNDARIES, OBSTACLES AND MARKS

Field boundaries
This chapter explains:
• the creation of field boundaries and the approaching boundary warning,
• the creation of field obstacles and the approaching obstacle warning,
• the creation of field marks.
Field boundaries can be created with the desktop software
or with the display when the Precision Farming applica-
tion is present, and the vehicle is equipped with a GPS
receiver.

The Rec(ord) Boundary window (placement label: Bound-

ary Record) is not part of the default layout and must be
added to a Run screen. If required, create a new name
in the Current Layout window on the Layout screen in the
Toolbox, and add the Rec(ord) Boundary window to the
Run screen of your choice.
RCIL10DSP302AAG 1

One field can contain multiple boundaries depending on

the swath patterns needed to work the field. All bound-
aries are saved to the field. Deleting the field using the
Delete screen in Data Management (Home > Data Man-
agement > Delete) also deletes the field’s boundaries.
Delete individual boundaries using the Map screen in Data
Management (Home > Data Management > Map).

Boundary creation
With the vehicle in an appropriate location in the field,
press the Record button to begin boundary creation.

The software adds a safety margin to the width of the

implement or header for whenever the vehicle passes
close to a boundary: 1 m (3 ft) or 10 % of the imple-
ment or header width, whichever is greater. The warning
behavior for a boundary is triggered based on the imple-
ment/header width plus the safety margin.

RCIL10DSP302AAG 2

A pop up window displays to prompt the operator for

boundary properties:
• Boundary name
• Recording edge
• Boundary type
• Boundary subtype (inner boundaries only)
• Impassable (inner boundaries only)

is a number that increments each time another boundary
is created in the current field.

If desired, type a new name for the boundary. Press the

Enter button to save or the Close button to exit without
saving.

RCIL10DSP304AAG 5

The operator must indicate a horizontal position (based

on the implement or header width) that should be used to
record the boundary: left (1), center (2) or right (3).

 3 - SETUP

If Start was pressed, a Recording Boundary

icon displays in the status/warning area as a
reminder that recording is in progress. The
Rec(ord) Boundary window updates with the
Pause, Stop and Cancel buttons and the
“Recording” message.

NOTE: The recording edge setting determines whether

the fence appears in the left, center or right of the Record-
ing Boundary icon.
RCIL10DSP309AAG 17
The Recording Boundary icon in the status/warning area
disappears when the boundary is automatically com-
pleted or when the Stop or Cancel button is pressed.
The vehicle can be working while boundary recording
takes place: coverage and work results may be recorded
at the same time.

The exact path that the vehicle travels is recorded as the

field boundary.

RCIL10DSP310AAG 18

When the vehicle is within one implement width of the

starting point for the boundary map, the software auto-
matically closes the boundary. A “Boundary is complete”
message displays.

Press the OK button to acknowledge and clear the mes-

sage.

RCIL10DSP311AAG 19

An outer boundary can have as many jogs as necessary

to describe the shape of a field. However, the operator
should never cross the recorded path of the vehicle with its
implement or header when recording a boundary. Two or
more closed polygons cannot be recorded as one bound-
ary. After a boundary is recorded, the software checks the
integrity of the boundary and simplifies its structure: any
crossed paths are deleted. The resulting boundary may
or may not be acceptable to the operator.

RCPH09DSP019BAF 20

 3 - SETUP

Stop function
Pressing the Stop button while recording a boundary im-
mediately draws a straight line between the current posi-
tion of the vehicle and the boundary starting point to com-
plete the boundary.

The Recording Boundary icon disappears from the status/

warning area.

RCIL10DSP309AAG 21

This is useful whenever a straight line is appropriate to

complete a boundary. In this example, boundary record-
ing starts in the upper left corner of the field and proceeds
clockwise around its circumference.

On the fourth side of the field, the operator presses the

Stop button at the location shown to complete the bound-
ary with a straight line.

The final section of the boundary is automatically mapped

as a straight line (shown in red) between the current ve-
RCIL10DSP432AAG 22
hicle location and the start of the boundary.

Pause function
The Pause button is useful for any field, or field section,
which can be defined by straight line segments. Any dis-
tance traveled while boundary recording is paused is au-
tomatically joined by a straight line when recording is re-
sumed. Using the pause feature, an operator can record
only the corners of the field and allow the software to draw
straight line boundary segments between the corners.

RCIL10DSP309AAG 23

Whenever boundary recording is paused,

the Recording Boundary icon flashes in the
status/warning area as a reminder to the
operator that recording has been paused. The
Rec(ord) Boundary window also updates to
reflect that recording is paused.

RCIL10DSP313AAG 24

3 - 43
 3 - SETUP

The illustration shows the recording of a field with straight

borders using the Pause feature. With the vehicle located
in the first corner of the field (upper left corner), the op-
erator starts recording and then immediately pauses until
the vehicle arrives at the next corner of the field.
NOTE: A point is immediately recorded when the Record
button is pressed after recording has been paused.

At the next corner, the operator presses the Record button

and then the Pause button; recording is paused until the
vehicle arrives at the next corner of the field.
NOTE: The map does not draw the boundary line while
recording is paused. When the next corner is recorded,
RCPH09DSP020BAF 25
the map updates and displays the straight boundary line
recorded during the pause.

In this fashion, a field boundary may be defined as a series

of straight line segments joined at the field corners.
NOTE: The Stop button is used to close the boundary
after the final corner of the field is passed.

RCPH09DSP186AAF 26

Cancel function
Exit boundary recording at any time by pressing the Can-
cel button. This action deletes the recording in progress
from display memory and the data card. A confirming
message displays immediately after the button is pressed.

Press the Yes button to cancel recording and delete the

boundary in progress. The Recording Boundary icon dis-
appears.

Press the No button to continue the recording in progress.

Boundary warning
The Bound(ary) Alarm Audio window
determines whether an audible alarm sounds
when the vehicle with its implement or header
enters the boundary warning zone.

The audible alarm is automatically enabled and cannot be

disabled whenever the Autoguidance application is active
in the display. The window is dimmed and cannot be se-
lected. The audible alarm beeps slowly for 3 seconds, and
then more rapidly for 2 seconds to alert the operator that
the vehicle with its implement or header is approaching a RCPH09DSP188AAF 29
field boundary. After this 5 second period, a single alarm
tone sounds once every 30 seconds until the warning con-
dition clears. The alarm is accompanied by a flashing Ap-
proaching Boundary icon in the status/warning area.

When the Autoguidance application is not active, the op-

erator can turn the audible alarm on or off. If the alarm is
turned On, a single tone sounds once every 30 seconds
until the warning condition clears. If the alarm is turned
off, no audible alarm is given. The Approaching Bound-
ary icon displays in the status/warning area regardless of
RCPH09DSP136AAG 30
whether the audible alarm is turned on or off. The icon
flashes when the alarm is turned on and is on steady when
the alarm is turned off.
NOTE: The alarm behavior occurs if any part of the vehi-
cle with its implement or header enters the alarm zone.

3 - 45
 3 - SETUP

The alarm zone is different for forward and reverse oper-

ation.

If the vehicle is operating in a forward gear, the

approaching boundary warning occurs:
• when the vehicle is within 5 m (16 ft) of the boundary,
or
• when the vehicle, at its current speed, is within the
alarm look ahead distance of the boundary, as defined
in the window on the GPS Setup screen in the Toolbox.
RCPH09DSP136AAG 31

If the vehicle is operating in a reverse gear, the

approaching boundary warning is given:
• when the vehicle is within 10 m (32 ft) of the boundary,
or
• when the vehicle, at its current speed, is within the
alarm look ahead distance of the boundary, as defined
in the window on the GPS Setup screen in the Toolbox.

Field obstacles
Field obstacles can be created with the desktop software
or with the display when the Precision Farming applica-
tion is present, and the vehicle is equipped with a GPS
receiver.

The Rec(ord) Obstacle window (placement label: Obsta-

cle Record)is not part of the default layout and must be
added to a Run screen. If required, create a new name
in the Current Layout window on the Layout screen in the
Toolbox, and add the Rec(ord) Obstacle window to the
Run screen of your choice.
RCIL10DSP302AAG 1

One field can contain multiple obstacles as needed. All

obstacles are saved to the field. Deleting the field using
the Delete screen in Data Management (Home > Data
Management > Delete) also deletes the field’s obstacles.
Delete individual obstacles using the Map screen in Data
Management (Home > Data Management > Map).

Obstacle creation
Three different types of obstacles are available: open,
closed or point.

The software adds a safety margin to the width of the

implement or header for whenever the vehicle passes
close to an obstacle: 1 m (3 ft) or 10 % of the imple-
ment or header width, whichever is greater. The warning
behavior for an obstacle is triggered based on the imple-
ment/header width plus the safety margin. The obstacle
type selection should be based on the width of the obsta-
cle and how much advance warning the operator needs
RCPH09DSP298AAJ 2
to avoid the obstacle.

3 - 48
 3 - SETUP

An Open obstacle (1) is mapped as a narrow line of GPS

coordinates, marked by the path that the vehicle travels.
The open type is designed for marking a long but narrow
obstacle – shallow stream, gully, trench or similar obstacle
– present within the field.

A Closed obstacle (2) is mapped as a polygon (similar

to a boundary), marked by the path that the vehicle trav-
els around the obstacle. The closed type is designed for
marking any large obstacle – pond, river, tree, grove, or
similar obstacle – present within the field.
RCPH09DSP298AAJ 3

A Point obstacle (3) is mapped as single GPS coordinate

marked with the vehicle. The point type is designed for
marking any small obstacle – rock, boulder, post or similar
obstacle – present within the field.
With the vehicle in an appropriate location in the field,
press the Record button to begin obstacle creation.

RCIL10DSP302AAG 4

lected. The audible alarm beeps slowly for 3 seconds, and
then more rapidly for 2 seconds to alert the operator that
the vehicle with its implement or header is approaching a RCPH09DSP203AAF 26
field obstacle. After this 5 second period, a single alarm
tone sounds once every 30 seconds until the warning con-
dition clears. The alarm is accompanied by a flashing Ap-
proaching Obstacle icon in the status/warning area.

When the Autoguidance application is not active, the op-

erator can turn the audible alarm on or off. If the alarm is
turned on, a single tone sounds once every 30 seconds
until the warning condition clears. If the alarm is turned off,
no audible alarm is given. The Approaching Obstacle icon
displays in the status/warning area regardless of whether
RCPH09DSP136AAG 27
the audible alarm is turned on or off. The icon flashes
when the alarm is turned on and is on steady when the

NOTE: The alarm behavior occurs if any part of the vehi-
cle with its implement or header enters the alarm zone.
NOTE: When the Autoguidance application is active, the
obstacle warning behavior is canceled when the steering
wheel is turned or the Guidance Engage button is pressed
to disengage automatic steering.
The alarm zone is different for forward and reverse oper-
ation.

If the vehicle is operating in a forward gear, the

approaching obstacle warning occurs:
• when the vehicle is within 5 m (16 ft) of the obstacle,
or
• when the vehicle, at its current speed, is within the
alarm look ahead distance of the obstacle, as defined
in the window on the GPS Setup screen in the Toolbox.
RCPH09DSP136AAG 28

If the vehicle is operating in a reverse gear, the

approaching obstacle warning occurs:
• when the vehicle is within 10 m (32 ft), or
• when the vehicle, at its current speed, is within the
alarm look ahead distance of the obstacle, as defined
in the window on the GPS Setup screen in the Toolbox.

Field marks
An operator uses the Field Marks windows to mark GPS
locations in a field during farming operations. The loca-
tions marked are field or crop conditions which require
additional attention at some future time. (This function re-
quires that the vehicle is equipped with a GPS receiver.)

The Field Marks 1-2 and Field Marks 3-4 windows are
available for placement on the Run screens whenever the
Precision Farming application is present. The Marks win-
dows are not part of the default layout and must be added
to a Run screen. If required, create a new name in the
RCIL10DSP322AAG 1
Current Layout window on the Layout screen in the Tool-
box, and add the Marks window to the Run screen of your
choice.

The conditions which are marked with the Marks windows

are created by the operator during field mark setup. Up to
four conditions can be active at one time, and field marks
can be changed at any time.

No audible or visual warning occurs when a field mark is

approached in subsequent farming operations.
When the operator presses a field mark button, the GPS
coordinates for the location are both mapped and saved
along with the other coverage, harvesting, as applied or
performance data being recorded.

Each field mark button can be set up as a momentary push

button or a latching button.

When pressed, a momentary field mark button records a

single symbol to the map and saves it with the other data.
Press the button each time a location requires marking.
RCPH09DSP206AAF 2

When pressed, a latching field mark highlights

and remains active until pressed again. The

PRECISION FARMING: E-NOTES

Field notes
Although needed by any vehicle which performs spraying, the E-Notes application is available for any farming opera-
tion where tracking field and weather conditions is important. The E-Notes screens are located under the Performance
icon.

A GPS receiver is not required to use the E-Notes application; however, the Grower, Farm, Field, Task and Crop
windows must be populated before the notes screens become active.

Any information on field and weather conditions automatically saves to the task on the memory stick. Weather infor-
mation is time and date stamped at the time of observation and can be updated as frequently as required as conditions
change. To minimize the steps for an operator, the selections on all note screens apply to all subsequent tasks until
they are changed. Changing any component in the active data set – grower, farm, field, task, crop, etc. – or powering
the display off and then on does not reset the windows to their default selection. The operator only visits the note
screens when any of the note windows must be changed.

This chapter explains:

• how to select soil type, moisture and condition and crop residue for the current field on the Field Notes screen,
• how to select sky condition, wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity, and create and update the time
and date stamp for the same on the Weather Notes screen,
• and how to create notes and create, edit or select spray tips for spraying operations on the Xtra Notes screen.
On the home screen, press the Performance icon to ac-

A spray tip, like a tag, acts like an electronic note for the
grower or operator to save another variable in crop pro-
duction and to filter production results for that variable.

The spray tip is linked to the task, and only one spray tip
may be assigned to a task. 50 spray tips maximum may
be created, and a unique ID is assigned to each spray tip.

If the vehicle is operating in a forward gear, the

approaching boundary or obstacle warning occurs:
• when the vehicle is within 5 m (16 ft) of the boundary
or obstacle, RCPH09DSP300AAJ 28

• or when the vehicle, at its current speed, is within the

alarm look ahead distance of the boundary obstacle,
as defined in the Alarm look ahead window.

If the vehicle is operating in a reverse gear, the

approaching boundary or obstacle warning occurs:
• when the vehicle is within 10 m (33 ft) of the boundary
or obstacle,
• or when the vehicle, at its current speed, is within the
alarm look ahead distance of the boundary or obstacle,
as defined in the Alarm look ahead window.
The Alarm look ahead value is specified in seconds: the
time in which the vehicle with its implement or header,
at its current speed, will close the distance between the
obstacle or boundary and the vehicle. The value range is
from 5 to 15 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.

Base station location

Some planning is needed to pick the optimum location or
locations for the base station(s) during field work. Your
New Holland dealer is available to assist you with a site
survey.

The component that requires the most attention when

picking locations is the GPS antenna, which must be
installed level and mounted at the same height and at
the same field location, for maximum repeatability and
accuracy.

The RTK broadcast antenna, mounted with the same

bracket as the GPS antenna, is second in importance
since it must remain in communication with the vehicle
throughout the field(s). The location of the GPS receiver,
case and battery power supply are a matter of conve-
nience.

Consider these factors when choosing field positions for

the base station:
• The position must be away from vehicle traffic patterns
to prevent accidental contact.
• The position must be repeatable – easily located from
season to season, year to year.
• Imagine the position through the entire growing sea-
son when there may be tall standing crop between the
location and vehicle. RCPH09DSP001HAG 31

• The support for the GPS antenna must be sturdy and

solid, to prevent movement and tipping from normal
wind or rain during field work.
• The position must offer a clear view of the sky, away
from or above buildings or other large objects that can
reflect signals.
• The position must offer clear communication between
the broadcast radio antenna and the receiver on the
vehicle throughout the field(s). In general, use line of
sight as a guide. If you cannot see the radio receiver
on the vehicle when it is at the lowest point of a field
or behind a rise from the GPS antenna height position,
the broadcast may be lost at those locations.

Finally, test a location before you commit to it. Base sta-

tion components are portable and lend themselves to ex-
perimentation.

3 - 77
 3 - SETUP

RTK base station setup

The base station has an Autobase function which allows
it to determine the GPS coordinates for the receiver’s
current position. Once it determines its GPS location, it
stores that information in the base station.

Each time the base station is moved to a new location,

Autobase is used to determine and save the GPS coordi-
nates for that position.

When the base station is returned to a previously saved

position, it searches its library for stored locations and
loads the correct coordinate file. Using Autobase is no
longer required for known locations.

At each new location, the operator must provide the base

station with the correct GPS antenna height before Auto-
base can be used. Measure antenna height (1) from the
ground to the base of the GPS antenna. Enter the value
with the keypad on the base station.

Refer to the base station Operator’s Manual for additional

information.

OmniSTAR and WAAS

For systems using DGPS correction, the GPS receiver is
initially configured to match the subscription service from
OmniSTAR selected for your system. (WAAS in North
America, EGNOS in Europe and Autonomous require no
subscription)

The three subscription choices available from OmniSTAR

are:
• OmniSTAR HP
• OmniSTAR XP
• OmniSTAR VBS

The DGPS receiver on your vehicle may have different

GPS signal capabilities. If an OmniSTAR capable re-
ceiver is being used, contact OmniSTAR for signal activa-
tion. Once enabled by OmniSTAR, the correction method
can be changed at any time by changing your subscrip-
tion service. Contact OmniSTAR to add or change the
subscription for your receiver.

With either an OmniSTAR HP or OmniSTAR XP subscrip-

RCPH09DSP027BAF 52
tion, the system supports operating with Automatic VBS
backup or manual backup.

This manual often refers to “OmniSTAR HP/XP” to avoid

duplicating operating instructions. In terms of IntelliView
III operation, they are identical. But OmniSTAR HP and
OmniSTAR XP are separate subscriptions, with different
costs and accuracies, and you choose only one.

This is further complicated by their global availability. In

some parts of the world, both HP and XP are available.
In other parts of the world, HP works better and only HP
is available. And in yet other parts of the world, XP works
better and only XP is available.

Regardless, your precision farming system works equally

well with OmniSTAR HP and OmniSTAR XP, and the con-
troller automatically recognizes what type of signal it is
receiving.

Automatic VBS Backup

To overcome the long convergence time or sometimes de-
graded signal associated with OmniSTAR HP/XP correc-
tion, precision farming systems offer VBS correction as
backup to HP/XP enabled receivers.

While HP/XP is converging, VBS correction is used. If the

HP/XP signal degrades, VBS correction is used.

To enable VBS backup, press the DGPS Backup window.

The pop up options window displays.

Press “VBS” to enable backup. RCPH09DSP169AAJ 57

Press “None” to turn backup Off.

Press the Close button to exit the window without

changing settings.

When the Precision Farming application is used, no

messages are posted when the switch between VBS and
HP/XP occurs. The GPS Status window reports which
technology is in use.

When the Autoguidance application is used, messages

are posted to the display to inform the operator on the
correction used. The GPS Status window also reports
which technology is in use.

3 - 87
 3 - SETUP

When Autoguidance is engaged for the first time since

the display was powered, if the HP/XP signal is not con-
verged, an information message displays.

Press the OK button to acknowledge and clear the mes-

sage.

The message is displayed just once – when the system

engages.

RCPH09DSP244AAF 58

When the HP/XP signal is converged, another message

displays to inform the operator that HP/XP correction is
now in use.

This message only displays when the signal switch oc-

curs.

Press the OK button to acknowledge and clear the mes-

sage.

The actual change to HP/XP correction occurs when the

message displays. RCPH09DSP245AAF 59

The system automatically adjusts for any error between

the two methods when the switch occurs.
If the HP/XP signal is lost but the VBS signal is still avail-
able, another message displays to inform the operator
that VBS correction is in use.

This warning only displays when the signal switch occurs.

Press the OK button to acknowledge and clear the mes-

sage.

The system automatically adjusts for any error between

the two methods when the switch occurs.
RCPH09DSP246AAF 60

 3 - SETUP

Converge distance
The Converge Distance window is used with OmniSTAR
HP/XP to reduce the convergence time associated with
this technology. The setting in this window affects the sig-
nal accuracy required for initial convergence: the system
continues to converge to the full signal accuracy of HP/XP
technology, but the system becomes available for use ear-
lier.

Converge distance is the distance that HP/XP is using to

establish the location of a point while converging. The
system default is 0.3 m (1.0 ft). Increasing the distance
RCPH09DSP168AAJ 61
allows the system to be ready for use earlier, but with less
accuracy. For example, increasing the converge distance
to 0.6 m (2 ft) or 1 m (3.3 ft) allows the system to be
ready for use much earlier, but with less accuracy as the
distance is increased.

If the planned work does not require the highest level of

accuracy, increase the converge distance and the system
will be available for use earlier. If the planned work does
require great accuracy, set the Converge Distance win-
dow to the default value of 0.3 m (1.0 ft). In both cases,
the system will converge to the full accuracy of HP/XP
technology.
NOTE: Do not confuse the converge distance with the
accuracy of the technology.
Press the Converge Distance window to access the nu-
meric keypad.

Use the keypad to enter a new converge distance. The

acceptable values range is 0.1 - 1.0 m (0.3 - 3.3 ft).

Press the Enter button on the keypad to save the value.

Position recall
Position Recall is used with OmniSTAR HP/XP to reduce
the convergence time associated with this technology.
Position Recall can be used independently or with VBS
Backup.

To enable this feature, press the Position Recall window.

The pop up options window displays.

Press “Enabled” to enable Position Recall.

RCPH09DSP170AAJ 63

When Position Recall is enabled, the system automat-

ically saves the current GPS location of the vehicle –
specifically, the receiver – before the keyswitch is turned
OFF. When the keyswitch is turned ON again, the saved
GPS location is used to restart the converging process.
Providing the last known GPS coordinates reduces the
signal convergence time.

To take advantage of this feature,

• the system must be turned OFF while the signal is con-
verged – that is, receiving proper GPS input to record. RCPH09DSP171AAJ 64
If the vehicle is left in the field or an open outdoor area
at the end of the work session, the current coordinates
are saved. If the vehicle is moved inside a building,
the signal is blocked and no coordinates are saved. If
the vehicle is always powered down inside a building,
Position Recall should not be enabled since it will not
reduce convergence time.
• the vehicle cannot be moved – not even a short dis-
tance – between the time the keyswitch is turned OFF
and when initialization is complete. Initialization is not
the same as convergence.

3 - 90
 3 - SETUP

With Position Recall enabled, do NOT move the vehicle

until you check system status when the vehicle is turned
ON.

After display startup, a message displays to inform the op-

erator that Position Recall is in progress and asks whether
the vehicle has been moved since the last time the display
was turned OFF.

The question must be answered correctly.

NOTE: The operator must answer this question correctly. RCPH09DSP250AAF 65
Failure to do so may prevent the system from converging
at all.

Vehicle moved
If the vehicle was moved, press the Yes button to clear the
message. Convergence will occur without position recall.

A message displays to remind the operator that full con-

vergence time can be expected, and the vehicle can be
moved while convergence occurs.

Press the OK button to acknowledge and clear the mes-

sage.

RCPH09DSP251AAF 66

Vehicle not moved

If the vehicle was NOT moved, press No to

the operator that the vehicle may not be moved.
NOTE: If the question is answered incorrectly, reset the
HP/XP convergence process using the HP/XP Conver-
gence window on the GPS Status screen.
RCPH09DSP250AAF 67

When the initialization process is complete, another

message displays indicating that the vehicle can now be
moved.

This message does NOT mean that the HP/XP signal is

Establishing an OmniSTAR subscription

The GPS receiver can use OmniSTAR HP, OmniSTAR XP
or OmniSTAR VBS subscription services, depending on
which correction options you purchased with your GPS
receiver.

When you choose OmniSTAR HP or OmniSTAR XP, you

should automatically receive OmniSTAR VBS to use as
back-up.

All licenses are activated via satellite by communicating

directly with the GPS receiver in the vehicle. To subscribe
to a service and license its use, contact OmniSTAR:
• 1-888-883-8476 (USA or Canada)
• 31-70-317-0900 (Europe and N. Africa)
• 61-8-9322 5295 (Australia and Asia)
NOTICE: Before you make this call, the GPS receiver
equipped vehicle should be outdoors with a clear view of
the sky. The display must be turned ON, and the correct
receiver type must be selected on the GPS Setup screen
(Home > Toolbox > GPS). This permits OmniSTAR to im-
mediately enable the receiver.

RCPH09DSP171AAJ 75

You must provide the following:

• your billing information,
• receiver type – AG-252/262 or NH 252/262
• serial number for the GPS receiver – located on the
decal on the GPS receiver near the connectors,
• satellite beam name or type of service –
• OmniSTAR HP
• OmniSTAR XP
• OmniSTAR VBS

OmniSTAR will activate the receiver. Activation normally

takes 5-30 minutes.

 3 - SETUP

OmniSTAR VBS
When activating or renewing a OmniSTAR VBS subscrip-
tion, the vehicle and the IntelliView III must remain ON for
about one hour to complete the process.

The hour starts from the time the GPS receiver is acti-
vated.

When complete, the GPS status window reports “DGPS-

OK,” and the vehicle can be turned OFF.

This requirement is true whether OmniSTAR VBS is

your only subscription or whether it accompanies an
OmniSTAR HP or OmniSTAR XP subscription.

Autonomous setup
The Autonomous selection is available for remote regions
of the globe where no corrected differential GPS is avail-
able. When “Autonomous” is selected in the DGPS type
window, the system uses raw, uncorrected GPS for data
collection and vehicle control.

While the pass to pass functionality for some farming op-

eration may be acceptable, any operation requiring ex-
act data collection and positioning will suffer. Obstacle
and boundary creation are not recommended when Au-
tonomous is selected. If there is any significant lapse of
RCPH09DSP256AAF 77
time between their creation and further use, the obstacles
and boundary will shift greatly.
If the receiver is enabled for more than one type of cor-

GPS2 satellite map

NOTE: This screen is only active when the installed GPS receiver is capable of receiving National Marine Electronics
Association (NMEA) sentences of the GSV (satellites in view) type. These include Trimble-equivalent receivers such
as the NH 162, 252 and 262.
On the home screen, press the Diagnostics icon to access
the diagnostic screens.

RCPH09DSP422AAF 1

Press the GPS2 icon on the navigation bar to display the

Satellite Map screen.

RCPH09DSP139AAJ 2

The screen is divided into an upper table area and a lower

map area. Both areas provide valuable information on
the number of satellites which are currently visible and
tracked (in use) by the GPS receiver.

The table area displays information on up to 10 satellites.

Each satellite is identified by its number. The number is
green when the satellite is tracked (in use) and red when
the satellite is only visible (not in use).
NOTE: A satellite can be visible, but not tracked, because
its signal is too poor. RCPH09DSP139AAJ 3

For each tracked satellite, the table provides its signal to

noise ratio (SNR), elevation and azimuth. For each visible
satellite, the table provides only its elevation and azimuth;
the SNR value is grayed out.

The map area below the chart visually represents the lo-
cations of the satellites in relation to the vehicle and true
north. All visible and tracked satellites are shown and
identified by their number in the same green and red color
code.
NOTICE: The vehicle location is always at the very center RCPH09DSP131AAJ 4

of the map.

3 - 105
 3 - SETUP

Azimuth and elevation are angles used here to define the

position of a satellite in the sky, relative to the vehicle.

The azimuth angle is the compass bearing on the horizon,

relative to true north, of a point directly beneath a satellite.
Compass bearings are measured clockwise in degrees
from north. Azimuth angles range from 0 ° (north) through
90 ° (east), 180 ° (south), 270 ° (west), and back to 360 °
(north again).
RCPH09DSP263AAF 5
In the illustration shown, the vehicle is located at the cen-
ter green circle. A satellite with an azimuth angle of 207 °
is currently located 207 ° from north in a clockwise direc-
tion relative to the vehicle.
The elevation angle, also called altitude, of a satellite is
determined by first finding the compass bearing on the
horizon relative to true north, and then measuring the an-
gle between that point and the satellite, relative to the
vehicle. Elevation angles for objects above the horizon
range from 0 ° (on the horizon) up to 90 ° degrees (at the
zenith).

RCPH09DSP264AAF 6

The more useful satellites will always be the satellites

closest to vehicle at the center point of the map. They
are the satellites at higher elevations relative to the vehi-
cle. The higher elevation means they will remain useful
for a longer period of time and their signal is less likely to
degrade from atmospheric conditions and ground clutter.

The screen also reports the average horizontal dilution of

position (HDOP) and position dilution of position (PDOP)
for all tracked satellites.

PRECISION FARMING: RADAR/DISTANCE AND AREA CALIBRATION

Radar/distance calibration
This chapter explains:
• the various radar/distance calibration procedures for generic vehicles,
• the area calibration procedure for adjusting acreage discrepancy for all vehicle types.
The values from radar or distance calibration are used
for calculating speed, area and application rates. Radar
and/or distance calibration are required for the highest
working accuracy. The calibration synchronizes vehicle
equipment to the display

Perform distance/radar calibration should:

• at the beginning of each season,
• whenever working in markedly different soil conditions,
• whenever vehicle/implement/header setup or tires
change.
The closer the working conditions are duplicated when
performing the calibration, the more reliable the results.
To get the best results from the procedure:
• The vehicle with its implement or header must be fully
set up and operational.
• Tires must be inflated to the proper pressure.
• Calibration must be performed in the field in soil and
conditions like those for working.
• The storage container(s) on the vehicle and/or imple-
ment – tank, hopper, basket, etc. – should be half full
to average the fill level.

DATA MANAGEMENT

Data management
This chapter explains:
• how to import information from another vehicle,
• how to filter the crop type information for all applications,
• how to delete information from display memory and the memory stick,
• and how to manage individual map items.
With the IntelliView III, information can be shared:

• between farming applications,

• between vehicles of the same type (tractor to tractor),
• between vehicles of different types (combine to tractor
and vice versa),
• and between the display and the desktop software.

The information exchange occurs by sharing the mem-

ory stick between vehicles and/or the desktop software.
To accomplish this, the display and farming applications
need a means to differentiate one vehicle from another.

Each vehicle already has a unique identification number

– its product identification number (PIN) or serial number.
No other vehicle, whether a combine, a tractor or sprayer,
has the same PIN or serial number.

The IntelliView III transparently identifies the information

from each vehicle using its PIN or serial number.
RCPH09DSP017BAF 1

The Vehicle Name window in the Toolbox or on a Run

screen allows an operator to supply a more friendly, proxy
name for the vehicle. This proxy vehicle name, once cre-
ated, is what appears in the display and the desktop soft-
ware.
NOTE: The vehicle PIN or serial number is entered at soft-
ware installation on the display. On tractors, the Vehicle
screen in the Toolbox is the only location where the PIN
displays. On combines, the Combine screen in the Tool-
box is the only location where the serial number displays.
This feature is not available on the generic vehicle type.
NOTE: The Vehicle Name window can be placed on any
Run screen for operator convenience.

Any information the grower wants to share with a vehicle is

exchanged by inserting the memory stick from one vehicle
into the display on the other vehicle.

4-1
 4 - OPERATION

Automatic sharing
Some information is shared automatically and does not
need to be imported.

The Grower-Farm-Field structure can be shared simply

by inserting the memory stick into the display when it is
unpowered and then powering up the display. For exam-
ple, Vehicle A has the current grower-farm-field structure
for your agri-business on its memory stick; Vehicle B is
new and does not. If the memory stick from Vehicle A is
inserted into the display in Vehicle B, the display recog-
nizes new information it does not have and loads it into
display memory.
NOTE: Information in display memory is saved when the
vehicle is turned off.

When the memory stick for Vehicle B is reinserted into

the display and the display is powered on, it records the
grower-farm-field structure from memory to its own mem-
ory stick.

The data types which are automatically shared between RCPH09DSP017BAF 2

vehicles and/or the desktop computer are:
• Grower
• Farm
• Field
• Operator
• Product
• Tag
• Mark
• Container
• Boundary
• Obstacle
• Swath line (from IntelliSteer software)
NOTE: This is the recommended method for sharing
these data types since the IDs for the data remains iden-
tical across vehicles. This greatly simplifies processing
data with the desktop software.

 4 - OPERATION

Vehicle specific information

Some information is never shared between vehicles. Ve-
hicle specific calibrations are never shared. For example,
distance or slip calibrations reflect the condition of a ve-
hicle’s tires and cannot be shared. Steering calibrations
reflect the condition of the steering pump and a steering
sensor and cannot be shared. Any calibration which re-
flects the performance properties specific to one vehicle
cannot be shared.
Imported data types
The data types discussed on the following pages are not
automatically shared between vehicles.

In most cases, the data which is imported is added to the

existing data on the display. There are two exceptions for
combines only: importing crop setup or crop calibration
information replaces the existing data in the display.

Deleting data
Use the Delete screen to manage the information on the
memory stick. Deleting data types – farm, field, task, etc.
– removes the information from display memory and the
memory stick. This information cannot be recovered if it
has not been archived.

Deletion of any information on the memory stick is best

performed after the information has been archived on your
business computer with the desktop software. This prac-
tice prevents accidental deletion of information you re-
quire.

There may be occasions where a “stick full” message will

tempt you to create free space by deleting stored data so
you can continue your current operation. Know what you
are deleting and that you have an archived copy of the
information before you proceed.
On the home screen, press the Data Management icon to
access the data screens.

RCPH09DSP422AAF 1

scroll bar to page up or down through the options window.

Press the data type you wish to delete.

RCPH09DSP025AAG 3

Grower
Farms and fields are linked to the grower. Deleting a
grower or growers prevents access to all farms and fields
linked to that grower, and all tasks and production data
linked to the same.

Since each grower has a unique ID and is used across

operations and vehicles, do not delete a grower(s) until
you are sure you have no future use for the grower or any
of its associated farms, fields, tasks and data. Re-creating
the same grower at a later time results in a new grower
with a different ID, requiring more management effort with
RCPH09DSP026AAG 4
the desktop software.

The Delete screen adds additional windows, as needed,

to assist the operator.

With grower selected as the data type, if more than one

grower is present on the memory stick, the Grower win-
dow defaults to the “All” setting. If only one grower is
present on the memory stick, the grower’s name is dis-
played in the Grower window.

Task
Task is the data type in which most logged data and GPS
data is stored. Deleting a task removes all summary data
and logged data for the task.

Task deletion is the recommended method:

• for recovering card space for the current operation –
planting, spraying, harvesting – when you no longer
need to retain the summary data for the tasks,
• for recovering card space from a previous operation
which has been archived: for example, tasks used for
RCPH09DSP041AAG 19
planting which still reside on the memory stick during
harvest season.
• for beginning a new season’s work while retaining the
grower-farm-field structure.

The task data type uses the most windows, but the same

MEMORY STICK MANAGEMENT

Memory stick management

The memory stick is the primary storage device for the
IntelliView III. The memory stick contains:
• all the data types discussed in this chapter for your op-
eration: grower, farm, field, task, crop type, tag, work
condition, operator, implement, sequence, obstacle,
boundary, layout, swath, GPS data.
• all the vehicle specific information: calibration and ve-
hicle setup,
• all the farming application specific data: yield, cover-
age, as applied, prescription, etc.

This information is organized in a folder on the data card

RCPH09DSP001AAF 1
with a .cn1 extension. The folder name will be similar to
090831H7.cn1 where the first six numerals are the date
stamp for the folder in this format: yymmdd. This folder
name is automatically updated (date and time stamped)
each time the display is powered; this creates a chrono-
logical record for all recorded data and prevents files from
sharing the same name.
To maintain the integrity of the saved information:
• Never put two .cn1 folders on the same memory stick.
• Never change the name or extension for any folder or
file on the memory stick.
• Never change the location of any folder or file on the
memory stick.
• Never delete the index.vy1 file from the memory stick
until the information has been archived. This file is re-
quired to launch the archive process using the desktop
software.

 4 - OPERATION

Multiple vehicle practices

If you have more than one vehicle of the same type (trac-
tor, combine, etc.) with an IntelliView III, label each mem-
ory stick with the product identification number (PIN) of
the vehicle. Always match the memory stick to the vehi-
cle when it is used.

1. Use a single vehicle or the desktop software to create

any of these data types:
• grower,
• farm,
• field,
• tags, RCPH09DSP001AAF 1

• operator,
• product,
• field mark,
• boundary,
• obstacle,
• swath.

If required, transfer the memory stick from the desktop

computer to a vehicle.
Create any Run screen layouts with a single vehicle.
On tractors, create implements and sequences. On
combines, perform crop setup.
2. Once setup is complete on the memory stick, power
down the display and remove the memory stick from
the vehicle. Install the memory stick from the first ve-
hicle in the next vehicle. Power up the display to au-
tomatically share the grower/farm/field, etc. from the
memory stick with the display. Use the Import screen
in Data Management to add the other data types: crop
setup, Run screen layouts, implements, work condi-
tions, etc.
NOTE: When a field is created, a new task is auto-
matically created. Delete these tasks from the mem-
ory stick for the first vehicle before sharing the grower/
farm/field information with other vehicles. These tasks
cannot be used by the second vehicle. They appear
in italics on option lists and cannot be selected.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each additional vehicle.
4. After sharing the memory stick with each vehicle,
power up the display with the memory stick matched
to that vehicle (not the first vehicle), and verify that all
information has successfully transferred.
5. At the end of the day, archive the information from the
memory stick for each vehicle to your desktop com-

Rotating memory stick practices

In some operations, growers prefer to rotate two or more
memory sticks between the vehicle and the desktop com-
puter. In this situation, the memory stick should be erased
after its information has been archived and returned to the
vehicle without a .cn1 folder on the memory stick.

This causes the display to create a .cn1 folder from display

memory, to guarantee that the most recent farming data
– planting, spraying, harvesting – is used.

Always start a new Task when you swap memory sticks in

this manner. GPS data is only written to the memory stick.
Rotating memory sticks retains the summary records be-
tween memory sticks, but not the GPS data. Start a new RCPH09DSP001AAF 1
Task to prevent GPS data from overlapping for the same
task between two memory sticks.

Checking software versions
The Version, CAN Status and Fault Archive screens in Diagnostics are common to all applications on the IntelliView
III. The information on these screens may be requested by New Holland dealer personnel to resolve a problem with
how your equipment is performing.
NOTE: The Resource Status, GPS Status and RDI
screens are discussed as a part of the Precision Farming
application. See page 5-1.

This chapter explains:

• how to check software versions,
• how to check controller status,
• and how to investigate fault codes.
On the home screen, press the Diagnostics icon to access
the diagnostic screens.

Investigating fault codes

On the home screen, press the Diagnostics icon to access
the diagnostic screens.

RCPH09DSP422AAF 1

Press the Fault icon in the navigation bar to display the

Fault Archive screen.

By default, the fault archive for the display is shown.

Display fault codes use a letter prefix to identify the

source of the report: for example,
• “AG” for the autoguidance application,
• “PF” for the precision farming application (including
GPS receiver related items)
RCPH09DSP336AAF 2
• “NAV” for the autoguidance navigation controller.

The vehicle and in some cases the implement determine

which controllers report faults through this screen. The
display fault archive is always available in this screen.
To view the fault archive for other controllers, press the
Fault Archive window and display the pop up options win-
dow.

Press “Select List” to access the pop up options window.

RCPH09DSP337AAF 3

The window shows which fault archives are available by

controller name. If only “Display” is listed, no other con-
trollers on the vehicle report faults to the display through
this screen.

If additional controllers are listed, press the controller

to view its archive. The screen refreshes to display the
archive for that controller.

 5 - DIAGNOSTICS

Each fault occurrence is date and time stamped, with the

most recent faults listed first.

Multiple occurrences of the same fault are considered one

unique code with multiple “counts.” Faults are stored to
provide a record of past fault events which may help trou-
bleshoot a current problem.
NOTE: If all faults cannot be viewed on a single screen, a
scroll bar is added to the screen to view the fault archive
as needed.
RCPH09DSP336AAF 5

The color of the fault text on the archive screen reflects its
status: red for enabled, green for past faults that are no
longer active, or gray (dimmed) for faults set to ignored.
The operator determined its status when responding to a
pop up message.

Pressing the OK button on the pop up message leaves

fault detection for the problem enabled. The pop up mes-
sage redisplays until the problem is resolved. Enabled
fault codes are color-coded red.
RCPH09DSP339AAF 6
Pressing the Ignore button on the pop up message dis-
ables fault detection for the problem. The fault condition
remains, but no further messages display until power to
the display is cycled off and then on again or until the sta-
tus is manually changed. Ignored or disabled fault codes
are color-coded gray.

If a fault condition is corrected – self-resolved or corrected

by the operator, the fault code becomes inactive and is
color-coded green.

Printer
Although distributed largely with software for combines, the Printer application is available for any farming operation
where capturing the content of the reporting windows on a screen is beneficial to an operator. The application is
primarily intended to capture the content of setting, performance and diagnostic screens.
The content of the windows is sent to a connected printer
or to a file on the data card. In both cases, the total
screen is not printed; a simple text only page or file
records the text content of the printable windows on the
selected screen.

The file output for the GPS Setup screen is shown as

an example. The screen name (1) is the first item on
the page. The windows with printable content are then
shown, separated by double line spaces. In each window
group, the window name is the first line (2), the window
setting or value (3) is the second line. The appropriate
unit of measurement where applicable is also shown.

Printing – whether to a page or file – is performed on a

RCIL10DSP834BAG 1
screen by screen basis. Not every screen can be printed
and not every window on a screen prints. Messages guide
the operator: if a screen contains printable content, a con-
firming message displays; if a screen contains no print-
able content, a different informational message displays.
NOTE: The left hand area does not print regardless of the

Connecting to a printer
A portable, thermal dot matrix printer which uses paper
rolls is the appropriate printer for this application. Printers
designed to be powered by the vehicle battery or by a
portable battery pack simplify installation and are ideal for
this application.
NOTE: The A630, A631 and A632 series printers from Ax-
iohm are shown in these examples. Visit www.axiohm.biz
for more information.

RCPH09DSP050BAF 1

Large combines use a unique implementation for support-

ing a printer. The Axiohm A630 printer is powered and
connected to the RS232 port via the diagnostic connec-
tor on the right hand control module (1). Kit 84095875 in-
cludes the printer (2), printer cable (3) and mounting hard-
ware (4) for this implementation. This kit and supporting
software allows the display to communicate directly with
the printer via the CAN network.

RCPH09DSP460BAG 2

Other vehicles require a different implementation. An

adapter harness is required to connect the serial (RS-232)
port on the IntelliView III to the printer. The adapter
harness separates ports A and B on the main connection
to the display.
The type of ports available – parallel, RS232, USB – and
cables available for connecting a printer to the display
varies with the printer selected.

A 9-pin (DB9) RS232 female connector is required to con-

nect the printer to the display. The standard or optional
cables for the printer may or may not support this con-
nector. Acquire any adapters needed – a 25-pin to 9-pin
RS232, a USB to 9-pin RS232, etc. – from a local elec-
