Data and setup information are imported or exported as a Data Profile. Only Prescription Maps can be imported individually. See Operator Manual for Examples of managing your data properly. Apex (v3.1 or newer) and several 3rd party desktop applications are compatible with the display. Data Transfer Options Export Data from the display Data Profile is copied to the USB flash drive. Use this option in the following examples: • Backup Documentation data to a USB flash drive, • Transfer setup information and guidance lines to another display, • Transfer setup information and guidance lines to compatible desktop software, or • Transfer screen shots and debug files to a USB flash drive. Import Data to the display Data Profile is copied to the display. This option does NOT import global prescriptions and shapefiles. Use this option in the following examples: • Import Field Names, boundaries, and guidance lines from another GS3 2630 display or compatible desktop software. • Import coverage and swath control maps from another GS3 2630 display. • Import field specific prescription (Rx) files from compatible desktop software. Import Global Prescriptions to the display Only Global Prescription (GRx) files and shape files are imported into the display. 12 GS3 2630 Display GS3 2630 Display.book Page 13 Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:45 AM User Guide GreenStar General Export Data from the Display IMPORTANT: USB flash drive should have at least 1GB of free memory. Large data sets may take several minutes to transfer. Power loss or removing the USB during data transfer may cause data loss. 1. Turn off all types of Recording and stop the vehicle. 2. Insert USB flash drive 3. A Data Transfer page will appear within about 10 seconds. Troubleshooting Tips!!! If the USB flash drive is not recognized, try the other USB port, format the USB flash drive (FAT or FAT32), or try a different USB flash drive. 4. Export Data ...................................... 5. Select or create a Profile Name where the data will be stored on the USB IMPORTANT: Exporting to an existing Profile will overwrite all setup information and data in that Profile except for Documentation files used by desktop software. See the Operator Manual for more information. Export takes less time when exporting repeatedly to the same Profile because the Documentation files (e.g. As-applied and Yield map files) that are already in the Profile on the USB are not exported again. NOTE: Do not use of the following characters (\ / : * ? " < >) when creating a Profile name. These will cause the profile to fail to load to a display or Apex. Begin Transfer 6.

Straight Track Mode Straight Track mode assists operator in driving straight parallel paths by using display and audible tones to alert operator when machine is off track. AB Curve Mode AB Curves allows an operator to drive a curved line in the field with end points at the ends of the field. Parallel lines are generated from the first pass. A—Start Recording of AB Curve B—Stop Recording of AB Curve C—Paths Generated Adaptive Curve Mode Adaptive Curve Mode records a guidance line the entire time while operating in a field. The passes are not identical copies of the original pass. Only one Adaptive Curve track may be generated per field. 5 GS3 2630 Display GS3 2630 Display.book Page 6 Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:45 AM User Guide Guidance Circle Track Mode Used on center pivot irrigated fields. Requires a PivotPro activation. Row Finder Mode Row Finder Mode is intended for row crop applications where the rows are not always equally spaced and can only be operated with manual guidance. Row Finder will aid the operator in finding which set of rows to enter back into the field on after setting a reference point when coming out of the previous rows. 6 GS3 2630 Display GS3 2630 Display.book Page 7 Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:45 AM User Guide Guidance Guidance Track Setup Minimal setup is required for basic guidance, as shown below.
