4 Displays and Consoles Hybrid Logging Limits with Ag Leader Displays The InCommandâ 1200, InCommandâ 800, Ag Leader Integra, and Versaâ displays have a maximum limit of 32 varieties in which it can show at the same time. The primary reason for this limitation is because the displays can only show 32 unique colors. Below shows how the display handles scenarios in which more than 32 varieties are present in an operation Planting operation (Hybrid Logging) For the first 32 varieties in the field each will have a unique color. For varieties 33+ the data is logged based on the variety but will reuse the color of the first variety planted in the field. Harvest operation (Hybrid Tracking-InCommand 1200 and Ag Leader Integra only) When variety tracking with the same display used for planting When more than 32 varieties is present during a harvest operation the variety tracking map will show the same way that it did during the planting operation. The first 32 varieties have a unique color and all varieties after 32 share the same color as the first variety planted in the field. Variety tracking and region changing will work normally even in the regions where varieties 33+ are planted. When importing a variety map from SMS When SMS exports a variety tracking map with more than 32 varieties it will create an error warning that the maximum variety tracking limit has been reached. The.agsetup file will still export out to the selected device once the error has been accepted. When the variety tracking map is loaded from this.agsetup file the user will find that any variety past the initial 32 did not get exported. For varieties 33+ the map will be blank and will not track varieties or change regions. Content last reviewed on: 11/18/15 Reviewed by: JMD Displays and Consoles 1

13 Q: What kind of card do I use for my display? Question: What kind of card do I use for my display? Answer: Ag Leader InCommand 1200 and 800, Integra, Versa, and Compass displays require USB media sticks, ~4GB in size. InSight and EDGE displays require a compact flash card. 512 MB or 256 MB work best for data transfers, but larger cards work, too. PF3000/PF3000 Pro/ PFA monitors may use up to a 32 MB PCMCIA Flash Card or a compact flash card/pc card adapter. YM2000 monitors require a 1,2,or 4 MB SRAM card. Using too large of a data card/usb may result in the display locking up when logging/copying data. Content last reviewed on: 11/16/16 Reviewed by: JW Q: What kind of card do I use for my display? 10

14 Q: How do I format my data card for my monitor? For customers wanting to format the card before starting the new season. Formatting Cards Formatting should only be done when the Ag Leader monitor prompts you to format the card. Details by Operating System: Windows 7 You will need to open DOS and type the following: format g: /a:4096 Where "G" is the drive letter of the card reader. If you have a different drive letter then use that, failure to do so could result in loss of data on your computer. Windows XP You will need to open DOS and type the following: format g: /a:4096 Where "G" is the drive letter of the card reader. If you have a different drive letter then use that, failure to do so could result in loss of data on your computer. Windows 2000 Format G: /a:2048 Where "G" is the drive letter of the card reader. If you have a different drive letter then use that, failure to do so could result in loss of data on your computer.

18 Q: How can I tell if I am logging GPS data while I am combining? Question: How can I tell if I am logging GPS data while I am combining? Answer: There are two different ways to check that latitude and longitude points are being recorded when using the PF 3000/PFAdvantage monitors. The first thing that you should check is that there is a capital D (differential) and a capital G (GPS) in the upper right-hand corner of the screen with an arrow pointing to the card. This tells you that you have a gps signal along with a differential signal and that you are writing information to the memory card. Another way to check that you are logging points is to push the show map button. This will display a map on the PF of what you have harvested. Using the Insight display you should see DGPS in the upper left hand corner of the run screen. You should then see your map in the map pane.

27 What is a Touchscreen Event? What should I do? This article will explain what to do if an Ag Leader display gives a Touchscreen Event message indicating an Extended touchscreen event was detected. In the event a touchscreen display (InSight, EDGE, Integra) gives the message pictured above, the display may need to be sent to Ag Leader to be repaired. Before it is sent in for repair there are a few troubleshooting steps that can be attempted 1. Cycle power and let the touchscreen screen "warm up" before pressing buttons. Allow several minutes for display to warm up. 2. Clean the touchscreen of any debris. 3. If possible recalibrate the touchscreen. See operator's manual on how to recalibrate the touchscreen. If the error is still displayed after attempting the troubleshooting steps above or is unresponsive to button presses, a repair can only be setup by an Ag Leader dealer. If you do not have an Ag Leader dealer, there is a dealer locator on the Ag Leader homepage at In order for the repair process to be as quick as possible, it is best to have both the part number and serial number from the sticker on the back of the display.

28 What is ISOBUS? What is Universal Terminal (Virtual Terminal)? What is Task Controller? What is ISOBUS? A standardized communication protocol for devices to communicate in the Ag Industry. Devices are for instance: Terminals, Joysticks, Switchboxes, Electronic Control Units and Tractor Electronic Control Units. ISOBUS also standardizes physical components such as connectors and cables. What is Universal Terminal (Virtual Terminal)? The Universal Terminal displays the User Interface of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Replaces the implement specific display, and provides the capability of operating an implement with any terminal. The Universal Terminal can be used to display and operate multiple implements at the same time. The Universal Terminal does not know what it displays. There is no direct link between the data displayed in the Universal Terminal and the Ag Leader map screen. Does not log data, has not AutoSwath functionality, and is not capable of running prescriptions. What is Task Controller? Task Controller is the link between the ECU and the Ag Leader maps creen. Task Controller is used for Section Control (AutoSwath), Rate Control, running prescriptions, and Data Logging. Ag Leader can control up to 8 products at the same time via Task Controller.

33 What does the Save Patterns Automatically check box do? Why do we have this option? "Save patterns automatically" checkbox is for the user that doesn't want to save or reuse guidance lines. Prior to this check box option, all guidance patterns (other than SmartPath) would automatically save to the display. How does it work? Default setting - When "Save patterns automatically" is checked, the display will save all created guidance patterns with a date/time stamp (except for SmartPath). See picture below. SmartPath does not automatically save in the same way that AB lines do. SmartPath patterns can manually be saved and reloaded but only to a configuration with the same guidance width. SmartPath cannot be exported to another display. Keep this in mind when using the display in your operation. When "Save patterns automatically" is un-checked, the display will never save created guidance lines, unless the user manually saves the guidance pattern in Guidance Options.

35 Serial Number Does Not Match Expected Serial number does not match expected - This error message can appear when loading operating configuration. It is indicating that a module on CAN no longer matches the serial number that has been saved to that configuration. This error message will be displayed if a failed module is replaced, or if a configuration in the display is used on a different machine/implement. For most configurations this message is just a confirmation for the operator that there is a new/different module being used, and that the serial number will be re-assigned for the configuration. The operator can still press the blue forward arrow and continuing using that configuration (see image below). As of v3.5 on InCommand displays, Harvest configurations will no longer be able to re-assign flow sensor module serial numbers. If the flow sensor has changed, a new configuration will need to be built (see image below)*. This change was made to prevent the same configuration from being loaded to an Event during a DisplayCast session. Serial Number Does Not Match Expected 32

From Ag Leader you will need an InCommand display, an unlock for the display, and the functionality of DisplayCast is included with an AgFiniti Essentials license. Will DisplayCast work with Ag Leader Integra and Versa displays? DisplayCast â FAQ 38

42 Maps and events will only transfer between InCommand 1200 and 800 Displays with the DisplayCast unlock. Ag Leader Integra and Versa displays can still utilize AgFiniti Essentials to transfer management information between displays using an.agsetup file. Do I need a data plan for each display and what size of data plan is recommended? Each display using DisplayCast will need its own data plan. Ag Leader doesn't have a recommendation at this time. Each operation will use data differently. What information is synced between displays using DisplayCast? Almost all data on the display. This list includes: Coverage Maps for AutoSwath, Attribute maps, Guidance Lines, Grower/Farm/Field management, boundaries, and configurations. Note: Marks do not sync across displays. How fast will maps in an active event sync? Maps will automatically sync approximately every 5-10 seconds with DisplayCast setting set to "On". What type of cellular coverage is recommended to use DisplayCast? A minimum of 3G cellular coverage is required. 4G cellular coverage is recommended for best performance. If one display disconnects from the internet, will it automatically reconnect and sync missing data? Yes. How many displays can be logged in at one time? How many displays can automatically sync data at one time? At the current time there are no known limitations on the number of displays that can be logged in at one time, as long as the user has the appropriate number of AgFiniti Essentials licenses. AgFiniti Essentials allows 3 displays per license. If users plan on having more than 3 displays logged into AgFiniti at the same time, they will have to purchase additional AgFiniti Essentials licenses. The number of displays that can automatically sync data at one time will directly depend on network connection, data transfer speeds, and amount of data being transferred. If users are running several displays at the same time and notice some are not syncing properly, considerations should be made. As an example: If a grower has 12 displays using DisplayCast, and if each display takes 1 minute to sync information (depending on data transfer speeds, amount of data syncing, etc.) to the AgFiniti Cloud, by the time the 9 th display syncs, 10 minutes will have passed and the first display will be ready to begin syncing data once again. This leaves no time for displays 10, 11, or 12 to sync with AgFiniti Cloud and send/receive sync information. If this scenario were to occur, growers have the following options: DisplayCast â FAQ 39

43 If display numbers 10, 11, and 12 in the operation do NOT NEED to receive real time updates, users can change their DisplayCast setting from "On" to "Manual" sync. For this scenario, it will allow users to sync as needed on more than 10 displays, and then allow displays 1-9 to sync in real time. If display numbers 10, 11, and 12 in the operation NEED to receive real time updates, for this scenario, users may need to split up displays to separate AgFiniti accounts/logins. As an example: In an operation, displays used for planting (displays 1-9) log into AgFiniti account A so as planted and AutoSwath maps update to each display in real time. Displays used for spraying (10-12) in the operation, will then log into AgFiniti account B so as applied and AutoSwath maps update to each display in real time. Keep in mind that the appropriate AgFiniti essentials license(s) for each AgFiniti account will still be required. Can I choose what information is synced or is everything synced? If DisplayCast is enabled, all information is synced. Can I see maps update in real time on AgFiniti Mobile or Map View? No, maps will only update in real time between InCommand displays. In order to view maps in AgFiniti map view or AgFiniti mobile the agdata files will need to be exported to the cloud for processing. Does data transfer faster to AgFiniti Mobile with DisplayCast unlocked? The process for transferring data to AgFiniti mobile has not changed. AgFiniti Mobile will sync all suspended and closed events automatically. The Manual Sync button can be used to transfer data to AgFiniti while in the middle of an event. Can I just export a reference map information and import it into another display using my USB drive? No, a DisplayCast Unlock and AgFiniti Essentials license are required to sync reference maps. AgFiniti seamlessly blends information together to prevent unnecessary duplication of data. How is DisplayCast different than using an.agsetup file? DisplayCast includes all attribute maps, coverage maps, marks, and other information to seamlessly mesh the maps together. Will DisplayCast sync with my auger wagon when harvesting? Yes, the auger wagon driver can view the harvest yield map in real-time and access guidance lines. Can I see instantaneous rates (yield/moisture/ground speed) of other machines in the same field? No, but the as-applied maps and summary information are viewable. i.e. Users can look at the yield map of the field to know where the green/red areas are and view the summary information to get the average yield. DisplayCast â FAQ 40

44 If I'm in the tillage tractor, can I sync data with the combine or the planter? Yes, coverage maps and attribute maps will be shared between all displays using DisplayCast. Will all of my logged data be available for export regardless of what display I go to? When using DisplayCast logged data is saved on the display that originally logged the data. If using SMS each.agdata file will need read in to make a complete map. What guidance lines are synced with DisplayCast? All guidance patterns and pattern groups will transfer except for SmartPath and Adaptive curve. If one operator nudges/shifts a guidance line will it change the other displays? No, it will not automatically nudge/shift on connected displays. At the current time there will be no indication either. If my implement widths do not match but I want to use the same pattern as the other machines, what happens? The same thing that happens today when sharing guidance lines. When guidance widths do not match, the user will be prompted to shift the guidance pattern. The second implement will use its own swath width. How do I get an event started on the display so that both displays' data gets logged together? One display starts a field. The second display will select the same event the first display started from the field setup wizard.the event will be identified with an AgFiniti icon so the second display knows what to select. Can I see the physical location of other machines in the same field that I am in? Yes, once both vehicles are in the field, the map will update in real time with the covered area of each machine/display using DisplayCast. If I delete management items (Boundary/Field/Configurations/Products) on one display are they deleted on others? Yes. It is important to make sure that any data tied to a management item has been exported prior to deleting. If a management item is deleted before data logged with that item is exported, all data tied to that management item will also be deleted. Note: Deleting seasons will not remove data from other, syned displays. In order to fully delete seasons, they will need to be deleted on each display individually, then the DisplayCast cloud data will need to be cleared. Once those steps are complete, syncing can be resumed and the seasons should no longer be present. If the cloud data is not cleared or seasons cleared on all displays, the deleted season will show backup on all synced displays. DisplayCast â FAQ 41

45 Does live data sync at different intervals compared to management information? Yes. Management information is not synced at the same interval as live maps, but it has logic built into it to sync as necessary. What is Ag Leader's recommendation for an internet source to be able to use this? Same as today when using AgFiniti Essentials. Bring your own hotspot device (Jetpack/ ipad.) What is Ag Leader's recommendation on GPS requirements for running two implements in the field at the same time? Ag Leader Recommends both machines run on the same differential source. Any GPS inacuracies between systems will be reflected in guidance lines and maps used for AutoSwath. Is there a way I can tell what data came from what display on AgFiniti? Yes, this option is available in Map View and AgFiniti Mobile. Will summary information give me field totals as well as individual totals per display? Yes. If I'm on display A can I see productivity information for display B? No. However, summary information from each display can be viewed. What happens if I buy a new display? How does it get information from other displays? Just log into AgFiniti on the display and all data will sync from the other displays in the fleet. Do acre totals and AutoSwath work across multiple machines? Yes, coverage maps used for AutoSwath will automatically update on other displays and acre totals will be summed together for the field. Note: The exception to this would be when using multiple planters in a field that are driven by different methods (ground vs. hydraulic/suredrive). Follow this link for further explanation. How far away can vehicles be and still have displays sync? Display information is sent over the internet so there isn't a maximum distance. In most cases, the limitation will be due to cellular network coverage. Will DisplayCast work with in field radios? DisplayCast â FAQ 42

46 No, Each display requires a connection to the internet (cellular hotspot). How can I tell what vehicle covered a specific area of the field? On the Legends tab there is an Equipment Configuration attribute. This will show what area of the field was covered based on the name of the configuration used. For this reason, it is important to uniquely name configurations for each implement. If I load a prescription on one display, will it automatically load on any other display in the event? No, each display that needs to use a prescription will still load it individually. However, the same.agsetup file can be used on each display when importing via AgFiniti. If I select Automatic Variety Tracking, does it automatically turn on variety tracking for other combines in the same event? No, Automatic Variety Tracking will still need turned on through the region select page or when loading the configuration. Any display using DisplayCast will have the variety map available to use without needing to use the "import" function. If I use a prior operation reference map for AutoSwath, will that map automatically load for other Displays on the same event? No, the reference map will need to be manually loaded on each display via AgFiniti. The all reference maps will be available regardless of what display originally logged the data. How are naming conflicts with management information handled or how are same names for Grower/Farm/Field handled? If an object can be merged together such as a Grower/Farm/Field, it will automatically be merged through DisplayCast. If the objects cannot be merged, such as a display configuration, two identically named items will show up in each display after the display syncs. It is important that each configuration has a unique name. The best way to accomplish this is to setup all configurations for the operation on one display and allow it to sync between all displays. Do permissions/users sync arcoss all displays when using DisplayCast? Users transfer through DisplayCast but permissions for each Manager/Operator do not. Each display using permissions will need to setup the specific roles for Managers/Operators. There are no addition permission levels added due to DisplayCast. If the display is logged into AgFiniti, data will sync regardless of permission level. If I make a custom legend for a specific product or hybrid, will that sync to other displays? No, custom legends regardless of being setup as product or operation defaults do not transfer between displays. This allows each operator to configure the legend as they please. DisplayCast â FAQ 43

47 How are Map Shifts handled when using DisplayCast? Shifting the map is a display/operation specific feature. If one display shifts an on screen map, it stays specific to that display. Other displays on the event will have no indicator that the shift happened. Will DisplayCast work with OEM branded displays? Example: Hardi HC8600/9600 sync with Ag Leader InCommand Displays. Yes, DisplayCast will work between any InCommand display even if it is OEM branded. If I have planter A that is ground driven and planter B that is hydraulic/suredrive driven, will AutoSwath work the same as if I had SureDrive, Hydraulic, or ground drive on both planters? Yes, for AutoSwath maps to be shared in real-time between displays with different drive planters, InCommand display must be updated to v2.5 or newer. Ground driven planters log data differently than hydraulic drive and SureDrive driven planters. Because of this, AutoSwath maps will be only be shared in real time if the reference map is loaded. Any planters in an operation that are driven by hydraulic or SureDrive will sync AutoSwath maps in real-time without loading a reference map. If I have two machines in the same field, one is spraying pre-emergent, the other is planting, will they share guidance lines? What if I only want to plant where the pre-emergent has been sprayed? A. Once the guidance line is created, it will be available for all other operations to access. B. On the InCommand 1200 planting display, load the pre-emergent coverage map while using split screen. This will allow for real-time update of the pre-emergent map and not affect the AutoSwath of the seeder. Alternatively, load a reference map for pre-emergent on the mapping screen of the planter display but do not check "use for AutoSwath" as that will make sure AutoSwath will not be used. Note: On InCommand v2.5+, reference maps will update automatically. If I have two combines running in the same field, will they be able to share yield and AutoSwath maps between displays in real-time? A. When using two aftermarket kit (Ag Leader flow sensor, moisture module, and speed module) combines with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath and harvest maps will sync in real-time between displays. B. When using two Quantimeter kit (bridge module) combines with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath and harvest maps will sync real-time between displays. C. When using an aftermarket kit combine and a Quantimeter kit combine with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath and harvest maps will not sync in real-time (reference map must be loaded). Note: A harvest reference map can be loaded to show harvest data but an AutoSwath reference map cannot be shared between displays as with planting or spraying. Keep in mind that only one reference map can be loaded at a time. A variety tracking reference map must first be unloaded from the mapping screen before the harvest reference map can be loaded. DisplayCast â FAQ 44

48 What unlocks/features are required for live stats? DisplayCast unlock, AgFiniti Essentials license, InCommand v3.5. Upgraded AgFiniti Mobile and AgFiniti cloud software. What are my options for AgFiniti Mobile and live stats? 1. Using an ipad with cellular data will allow other devices to always see its locations and speed. 2. Using an ipad connected to an internet hotspot (no cellular data) will allow other devices to see its location. An updated location of the hotspot will determined by the cell network. Are live stats viewable on an InCommand when in use with a YMM or Quantimeter (CEBIS)? Yes Will AgFiniti devices be displayed on an InCommand? Yes. AgFiniti Mobile and users logged into Map View with be displayed. Map View users must allow their location through their web browser. Will I see live stat info on my Integra/Versa? No, this is an InCommand only feature. However, the Integra and Versa locations can be displayed on an InCommand if they are logged into AgFiniti, have Essentials license, and have a GPS position. An Integra/Versa device location will include operation and speed indicators. Do I need an Event loaded for my display location to be viewed on other devices? No. The display only requires to be logged into AgFiniti, an Essentials license and to have a GPS position. How often do live stats update on an InCommand and Mobile? They update on a 5 second interval. Can I edit a live stat indicator? No. The live stat indicators are not editable. They will only contain the current operation, speed, and main attribute for applicable configurations. How do I change the name of my device in the live stat bar? Enter a display nickname; or for an ipad enter a name in the General > About settings. To get the device name to update the user will need to re-login into AgFiniti. What operations will have live stats? Planting/Seeding Main attribute is Rate (Stat derives from the seed monitor; if a seed monitor isn't present stat comes from the rate controller) Secondary Attribute - Population % (Stat derives from seed monitor) Harvest (grain & forage) DisplayCast â FAQ 45

49 Main attribute is Yield Secondary Attribute is Moisture Application (liquid & dry) Main attribute is Rate (Stat derives from the rate controller, or application rate module if flow monitoring) Secondary Attribute is Tank Level Site Verification Product will be shown in live stat bar. No main or secondary attribute will be present. How can I easily view all of my devices on my InCommand that are logged into AgFiniti? By pressing the Zoom Devices button. This will zoom the map out to allow all logged into devices to come into view. Devices outside of a 60 mile radius from the display using Zoom Devices will not be shown. What display views can I see the live stat bar and indicators in? North Orientated, Top-Down, and Zoom Devices. Why is my AgFiniti Mobile (ipad) device in the grain truck intermittently showing on my InCommand? The AgFiniti Mobile app on the ipad needs to be open and the ipad needs to be on (not in sleep mode) in order for it to register has a logged in device. Why is my live stat for container level always 0 on other vehicles? The container level is a user entered function. When a tank is refilled the user will manually need to set the tank to full in the display in the Rate Control Settings. I have 3 InCommands tied to an Essentials license, but only 2 are unlocked for DisplayCast. What will I see for live stats on the non-unlocked InCommand? What will I see for live stats on the unlocked InCommands? On the non-unlocked InCommand, the user will only see their vehicle location and no live stats. On the 2 unlocked InCommands, the users will see each other's location, as-applied maps, and all live stats. They will also see the 3 rd InCommands location, operation and speed.

51 Display Power Cable Updates for InCommand Display Power Cable Updates for InCommand All display power cables built after October 2015 will have a 7.5amp fuse on the display power circuit. This will be replacing a 5amp fuse. This fuse carries power for Ag Leaders Displays, GPS Receivers, and CAN A modules. Ag Leader has done extensive practical testing and has found that in most typical scenarios the power draw on the display power circuit with an InCommandâ display has not exceeded 5amps. Customers that are upgrading to an InCommand display can utilize power cables with the 5amp fuse. If the 5amp fuse fails with an InCommand display installed, it can be replaced with a 7.5amp fuse at that time. Customers with a legacy display that receive the new power cable with a 7.5amp fuse are safe to use the updated power cable. If the display power fuse fails with a legacy display, replace it with the same sized fuse that failed. Content last reviewed on: 4/8/16 Reviewed by: SSW Display Power Cable Updates for InCommand 48

Is there a limit to how many ipads I can link to my InCommand? Is there a recommended connection type I need to use? InCommand How do I start a new field operation on the InCommand display? The InCommand Home Screen is broken out into multiple apps similar to most mobile devices. By tapping on one of the field operation apps, it will start the field operation wizard specific to the selected app. Follow the on-screen wizard to create, or select, a configuration and start a field operation. Can I charge a mobile device using the USB port on my InCommand? InCommand and AgFiniti Mobile FAQ 49

53 The USB port on the side of the InCommand display is capable of charging a mobile device. The charge rating for the port is 1.2 amps. On the InCommand 1200 either side port can be used to charge a device but only one device can be charged at a time. If a second mobile device is plugged in to the InCommand 1200, it may show the charging icon on the device but will not begin charging until the first device has reached full charge. How do I know which USB I'm exporting to on the InCommand 1200? When choosing export setup, data, or reports from the Data Transfer page a pop-up will allow you to select which location to export to. The first USB inserted into the display will show up at the top and the second USB will show up second on the list regardless of what slot they are inserted into on the side of the display. The best way for a user to differentiate USBs inserted into the display is by naming their USB drive from their computer. The InCommand displays will show the USB name in all locations where importing/exporting is available. What is the Menu button used for on the Mapping screen? The InCommand Mapping Screen is designed so that the user should only need to leave the mapping screen interface when they are changing configurations. From the Menu button users can accomplish all of their day-to-day activities including changing fields, products, and regions or make changes to GPS,Steering, and Configuration settings. I can't see my map but everything looks like it is working correctly, how do I fix it? Similar to legacy Ag Leader displays there is a "Clear Bounds" button that will re-center the map on the current vehicle location. From the Mapping screen tap on the Menu button, and go to Event. With Event options the Clear Map bounds button is located in the top right corner. What information can be transferred with an.agsetup file? Reference the AGSETUP File Supported Uses article. Where do I go to import and export data? I don't see a USB icon on the Home Screen. All Importing and Exporting functions are found under the Data Transfer screen. Press the Status Indicator Button in the top right corner of the screen and go to "Data Transfer." For more information on the Data Transfer screen reference the "Data Management" section of the Display User Guide. Can I use my switchbox and switchbox bracket from an Ag Leader Integra / Versa? Both the 10 switch CAN switchbox and the 7 switch ISO switchbox are compatible with the InCommand Displays. Users upgrading from a Legacy display must purchase the InCommand specific switchbox bracket. The Legacy switchbox bracket will interfere with the Wi-FI adapter on the back of the display. A "Working Set Failure error" popped up but I'm not not running an ISO module on the InCommand display. This error can popup if you have Task Controller and Universal Terminal enabled on the display but are not actively using an ISOBUS ECU. If you are not running an ISO ECU, then we suggest you disable UT and TC on the display. What steering systems are the InCommand displays compatible with? InCommand displays are compatible with SteerCommandâ, ParaDymeÂ, GeoSteerÂ, and OnTrac3â. The OnTrac2â and OnTrac2+â systems are not supported. What can I do if exporting data takes longer than normal? The most common cause of data exporting slowly is the flash drive. When experiencing flash drive problems (not exporting a file, taking longer than normal, etc.), a different flash drive should be used. The flash drive currently being used could be corrupt or have a hardware problem. To prevent any future problems, data can be exported out of the display in a timely fashion by using the export data at shut down feature. InCommand and AgFiniti Mobile FAQ 50

54 Does the InCommand display support the TSIP communication format? No, TSIP communication is not support with InCommand. Users with Trimble based receivers will need to switch to NMEA protocol to work with the InCommand display. AgFiniti Mobile What does the app do? The AgFiniti Mobile app allows you to view logged data from an InCommand display on your ipad. This allows you to have instantaneous access to your data. This data is transferred automatically as soon as an event is suspended or closed, when the manual sync button is pressed, or when the display is shutdown. The AgFiniti Mobile app must be open on your ipad for a data transfer to occur. The app also, with an optional AgFiniti Essentials license, allows you to login to your AgFiniti account and sync data to/from the cloud automatically. Do I need an internet connection to view my data? No, data can be transferred via a direct connection between the ipad and InCommand display. In order to transfer data to the cloud, an internet connection will be required. Do I need to read in my data into SMS first in order to view this data, like we do to view maps in Map View? No, the maps are processed locally on the app as soon as they are transferred, no additional steps are required. If I have a AgFiniti Essentials License, can I send data to AgFiniti Cloud and AgFiniti Mobile at the same time? Yes, but an internet connection will be required. The Access Point Mode connection type will not support connection to AgFiniti Cloud and, therefore, one of the other two connection types will need to be used. See the InCommand Display User Guide's section on AgFiniti for more details. I have setup my desired connection as outlined in the Display User Guide but my maps are not showing up on the app? In order for the transfer of data to begin, we will need to ensure a few things. 1. Make sure that the app and display are both on or running. 2. The first time you connect your ipad to your InCommand display, you will need to allow the ipad to connect to the display. 3. You need to have closed or suspended events in order to send data to the app. If you do not have closed or suspended events, you can press the manual sync button on the display to allow data to transfer from the current active event. Can I send my logged data out from the ipad? Yes, the raw.agdata files are saved on your tablet. To send out data, simply tap the menu button and choose Data Management. Here you can choose one or more files and then "Send To" and either files out or use a 3rd party sharing app (i.e. DropBox) or login to AgFiniti Cloud and your data will automatically sync to the cloud (requires AgFiniti Essentials license) What types of data can I view in AgFiniti Mobile? Any data that was logged in the InCommand display will be transferred and viewable on the app. Also, most files processed/created in SMS can also be viewed in AgFiniti mobile (Requires an AgFiniti Essentials license). Can I view, on AgFiniti Mobile, data that I have currently saved to AgFiniti Cloud (File Transfer/Map View)? InCommand and AgFiniti Mobile FAQ 51

55 Yes, data present in AgFiniti Cloud will automatically sync to the AgFiniti Mobile app when you log in on the ipad. Most all data will sync automatically, including maps exported out of SMS. Note: Prescriptions will not sync to the AgFiniti Mobile app, but they can be viewed in AgFiniti Cloud. (Requires AgFiniti Essentials license) Are there limits to the amount of data I can have in AgFiniti Mobile? No, since the data is saved locally on your ipad, you can store as much data as your device allows. Can I run AgFiniti Mobile on other mobile devices besides an Apple ipad? At this time, the app can only be run on an Apple ipad. Is there a limit to how many ipads I can link to my InCommand? No, you can link as many devices as you require. Also you can link the same ipad to multiple InCommand displays. Is there a recommended connection type I need to use? No, all three of the connection options are viable. The suggested connection method will be Access Point Mode. This mode will simply require the InCommand display and an ipad.

65 What are Wired IP address and Wireless IP address and what to they do? This article discusses the difference between the Wired IP Address and Wireless IP Address and how to begin with basic troubleshooting. To access the Wired or Wireless IP address, users will need to access their display CAN list, within Display Diagnostics. Follow the button presses below. Display Diagnostics Wired IP Address: When the Wired IP address is populated as shown below, the display is aware that the Ethernet port is getting feedback from the display, through the display harnessing, to the steering controller. Wireless IP Address: When the Wireless IP address is populated as shown below, the Agfiniti WiFi adapter is installed and we are actively connected to an internet hotspot This does not mean that users are logged in to an AgFiniti Account. If the Wireless IP address shows as "None" and users desire to use AgFiniti functions, investigate the Wireless Network List to ensure ensure proper connection. There is another Wireless IP address that may populate ( ) within the diagnostics screen, as shown below. This populates when the display is in 'Access Point Mode.' Access Point Mode is when the display has created a local WiFi hotspot to allow an IPad to communicate with the display. What are Wired IP address and Wireless IP address and what to they do? 62

66 When the Wired IP address is 'None,' this may indicate that the controller isn't communicating to the display. This could be caused due to a boot up timeframe, or an open connection between the Display and steering controller. Verify the controller has power, and verify Ethernet connection is connected. Troubleshooting Wired IP Address 'None': On the InCommand 1200 and Incommand 800 displays there is a connection that does not appear to be the traditional Ethernet connection, as shown in the picture below. This connection is required in order to communicate with the steering controller. The other Ethernet connection is located on the display cable, and connects to the Steering Controller's main harness Ethernet port. SteerCommand cabling diagram is show below as an example.

68 ISOBUS Load and Go - InCommand Displays This article explains what ISOBUS Load and Go is, how it works, and what is required to make it function properly. What is Load and Go? Load and Go is a function of InCommand displays that will automatically load configuration information from an ISOBUS controller. Prior to load and go, the user was required to enter specific settings into the display, based on the ISOBUS ECU in setup. Without Load and Go, configuration setup times increased along with more occurrences of user error. How does Load and Go work? Load and Go will automatically detect and load configuration information such as sections and channels during Display configuration setup, based on information provided by an ISOBUS controller. What is required to make Load and Go work properly with Task Controller? 1. InCommand display 2. Universal Terminal enabled. See InCommand Operator's Manual for instructions on how to enable UT. 3. InCommand display connected and communicating with ISOBUS ECU Universal Terminal screens will populate if properly connected and communicating 4.

69 NTRIP RTK on InCommand Display FAQ This article provides more information about the feature NTRIP RTK on InCommand display. Jump to a question below: What is NTRIP RTK on InCommand display and what does it do for my operation? What if I already use a mobile hotspot for AgFiniti cloud services (such as DisplayCast) on my display? How does this affect me? Can I use this InCommand feature with SteerCommand, GeoSteer, or ParaDyme? What about other 3rd party receivers? When was the feature release date? Does the InCommand display have a built in cell modem mobile hotspot? Which mobile hotspot can I use? What is required to use NTRIP on the InCommand display? What additional cabling from my InCommand display AUX port to my GPS receiver will I need? Can I create or connect to multiple NTRIP streams? Does NTRIP on the InCommand display support "web links" as the NTRIP server entry? How do I know if NTRIP on the InCommand display will work in my fields? If I don't want to use NTRIP RTK on InCommand display, can I still use my cellular CDMA or GSM RTK Relay? What about my ParaDyme or GeoSteer internal cell modem? What if I turn my display off or lose connection to NTRIP network while using this feature? Will I have to reconfigure settings? Can I use NTRIP RTK on InCommand with my GPS 6500 while an RTK Relay is connected? What is NTRIP RTK on InCommand display and what does it do for my operation? This exclusive InCommand feature will allow any InCommand display to connect to NTRIP network(s) and send RTK corrections out to a GPS receiver via AUX port. In the past, an external (or built in) modem with NTRIP capabilities was required in order to use RTK NTRIP corrections with a GPS receiver. This also means that growers now only need one data plan to use NTRIP RTK corrections and AgFiniti (such as DisplayCast, Remote Support, and File Transfer). There are no additional display unlocks required for NTRIP RTK on InCommand, nor is an AgFiniti account required. What if I already use a mobile hotspot for AgFiniti cloud access (such as DisplayCast) on my display(s)? How does this affect my operation? Any cellular/mobile hotspot can be used! Since NTRIP RTK on InCommand and AgFiniti use the same internet connection, there is no need for an additional mobile hotspot in the cab. With that, there is also no need for an additional data plan! You will only need NTRIP network credentials and necessary cabling to send RTK NTRIP from InCommand display to an RTK unlocked GPS receiver. Can I use this InCommand feature with SteerCommand, GeoSteer, or ParaDyme? What about other 3rd party receivers? Growers can use with SteerComand, ParaDyme, and GeoSteer. This is also a great opportunity for users to transition to a single data plan for NTRIP RTK and AgFiniti with the BR1 Mini hotspot. NTRIP RTK on InCommand Display FAQ 66

70 3rd party receivers may work, but Ag Leader does not support this. As long as the GPS receiver supports NTRIP RTK input via serial, NTRIP on the InCommand display acts no different than an external modem with a built in NTRIP client. For cabling options, see "What additional cabling from my InCommand display AUX port to my GPS receiver will I need?" When was the feature release date? February 6, 2018 Top of page Does the InCommand display have a built in cell modem mobile hotspot? No. The InCommand display does not have a built in cell modem hotspot. An external internet connection (mobile hotspot) is still required to use NTRIP RTK on InCommand displays. Which mobile hotspot can I use? Any cellular/mobile hotspot can be used! Bring your own mobile hotspot (mobile phone, ipad, jetpack, etc.)! Alternatively, order the BR1 Mini hotspot direct from Ag Leader. BR1 Mini cellular hotspot is a great option for Verizon and GSM customers and comes with standard 2-year Ag Leader warranty. The BR1 Mini will also power on/off with your Ag Leader display, no extra interaction required. What is required to use NTRIP on the InCommand display? 1. InCommand display (firmware version 3.1+) 2. Internet connection (mobile internet hotspot) 3. Aux to 9-pin serial cable (cable options allow for video camera inputs) 4. RTK unlocked GNSS receiver with two serial ports 5. RTK NTRIP network and login credentials Top of page What additional cabling from my InCommand display AUX port to my GPS receiver will I need? Assuming InCommand display has been previously installed, growers will only need to add an Aux to 9-pin serial cable option and necessary GPS receiver serial cable. These Aux to 9-pin serial cables are available in three options, Aux to 9-pin serial, and Aux to serial with 2 video camera inputs, and Aux to serial with 4 video camera inputs. See NTRIP RTK on InCommand cabling guide. GPS 6500 (RTK Unlocked): InCommand Aux Serial (9-pin) Cable - Cable part number is dependent on number of cameras in use Dual port GPS receiver cable (ships with all GPS 6500 receivers from Ag Leader) ParaDyme and GeoSteer (RTK Unlocked): InCommand Aux Serial (9-pin) Cable - Cable part number is dependent on number of cameras in use AUX/NMEA out cable PN: (ParaDyme) or (GeoSteer) GPS 2500 (RTK Unlocked): InCommand Aux Serial (9-pin) Cable - Cable part number is dependent on number of cameras in use NTRIP RTK on InCommand Display FAQ 67

71 Dual port GPS receiver cable (shipped with all GPS 2500s from Ag Leader) Recommend RTCM data format. CMR data format is not supported. 3rd Party Receivers may or may not function properly as they are not supported by Ag Leader: Aux to 9-pin serial (cable part number is dependent on number of cameras in use) 9-pin serial GPS receiver adapter cable (provided by GPS receiver manufacturer) Null modem cable PN: (where applicable) Can I create or connect to multiple NTRIP streams? As standard practice, only one NTRIP network can be used/connected to at a time. Users do have the ability to create multiple NTRIP network connections that can be saved as "Profiles." This allows for easy switching between NTRIP data streams. See "RTK Settings - NTRIP RTK on InCommand" section within the InCommand display user guide. Does NTRIP on the InCommand display support "web links" as the NTRIP server entry? Yes! It also supports standard IP address NTRIP server entry. How do I know if NTRIP RTK on InCommand will work in my fields? The best approach is to consult cellular network coverage maps and then verify cellular hotspot performance in the field, prior to beginning an operation. Top of page If I don't want to use NTRIP RTK on InCommand, can I still use my cellular CDMA or GSM RTK Relay? What about my ParaDyme or GeoSteer internal cell modem? Verizon has announced plans to retire its non 4G LTE network (CDMA) entirely at the end of Non 4G LTE devices include CDMA Relays and internal modem ParaDyme/GeoSteer systems New (or new to user) CDMA Relays must be activated prior to June 30th, Non 4G LTE devices cannot be activated after this date. CDMA Relays will NOT be able to be suspended and reactivated after June 30th, If users expect to use their CDMA Relay past June 30th, 2018, their device data plan must stay activated. This does not affect users outside of North America. The cellular GSM RTK Relays can be used as normal in North America (and internationally) and are not affected by this as they do not use Verizon cell network. With little incentive to maintain cellular network hardware as the shut down date approaches, end users may experience degraded performance of non 4G LTE devices (CDMA Relay, ParaDyme, and GeoSteer) on Verizon CDMA network. Internal cell modem ParaDyme and GeoSteer users can still utilize Sprint, Sprint like, and AT&T cell networks (where cell coverage exists). Alternatively, the BR1-Mini (Verizon 4G LTE capable modem) is available for customers that want to utilize NTRIP RTK and/or AgFiniti on a single data plan, with GPS 6500, ParaDyme, or GeoSteer systems. See BR1-Mini FAQ for more information. Note: If a CDMA Relay in the field fails or has to be replaced after June 30th, 2018 and the unit has an active line on a Verizon account (data plan), Verizon should be able to transfer service to a replacement device only on that existing account, until July 1st, NTRIP RTK on InCommand Display FAQ 68

72 What if I turn my display off or lose connection to NTRIP network while using this feature? Will I have to reconfigure settings? No. Once configured and connected, InCommand display will automatically connect to NTRIP on each subsequent display boot up. NTRIP RTK on InCommand display will automatically reconnect in the event internet connection to the NTRIP server is lost. Can I use NTRIP RTK on InCommand with my GPS 6500 while an RTK Relay is connected? In the event users attempt to use NTRIP RTK on InCommand with an RTK Relay (Relay 400, 900, CDMA, or GSM) connected to a GPS 6500, users may experience performance issues due to auto detecting and selecting "RTK" as the correction source.

73 What does the Save Patterns Automatically check box do? Why do we have this option? "Save patterns automatically" checkbox is for the user that doesn't want to save or reuse guidance lines. Prior to this check box option, all guidance patterns (other than SmartPath) would automatically save to the display. How does it work? Default setting - When "Save patterns automatically" is checked, the display will save all created guidance patterns with a date/time stamp (except for SmartPath). See picture below. SmartPath does not automatically save in the same way that AB lines do. SmartPath patterns can manually be saved and reloaded but only to a configuration with the same guidance width. SmartPath cannot be exported to another display. Keep this in mind when using the display in your operation. When "Save patterns automatically" is un-checked, the display will never save created guidance lines, unless the user manually saves the guidance pattern in Guidance Options.

77 InCommand Wifi Interference Overview When troubleshooting the InCommand connecting to a wifi hotspot it is important to gather information about all of the equipment the customer is utilizing in the cab and for that specific operation. This can help determine if any 3 rd party equipment is possibly influencing our equipment's performance. Issue The use of wireless cameras for example, could interfere with various hotspots, not allowing the InCommand and AgFiniti adapter to connect with them. The wireless transmitter for some cameras appears to operate on frequencies too close to that of the hotspot, causing interference. Resolution Most hotspots/routers operate on a 2.4Ghz frequency. If wifi issues are experienced, verify that all other wireless transmitters are not operating on that frequency. If possible, adjust any other 3 rd party transmitters to operate on a different frequency, or relocate transmitters to allow both devices to work simultaneously. When troubleshooting wifi/hotspot issues, be sure to always be aware of any other wireless devices they may be using.

What will I see for live stats on the non-unlocked InCommand? What will I see for live stats on the unlocked InCommands? What do I need to make DisplayCast work? From Ag Leader you will need an InCommand display, an unlock for the display, and the functionality of DisplayCast is included with an AgFiniti Essentials license. DisplayCast â FAQ 76

80 Will DisplayCast work with Ag Leader Integra and Versa displays? Maps and events will only transfer between InCommand 1200 and 800 Displays with the DisplayCast unlock. Ag Leader Integra and Versa displays can still utilize AgFiniti Essentials to transfer management information between displays using an.agsetup file. Do I need a data plan for each display and what size of data plan is recommended? Each display using DisplayCast will need its own data plan. Ag Leader doesn't have a recommendation at this time. Each operation will use data differently. What information is synced between displays using DisplayCast? Almost all data on the display. This list includes: Coverage Maps for AutoSwath, Attribute maps, Guidance Lines, Grower/Farm/Field management, boundaries, and configurations. Note: Marks do not sync across displays. How fast will maps in an active event sync? Maps will automatically sync approximately every 5-10 seconds with DisplayCast setting set to "On". What type of cellular coverage is recommended to use DisplayCast? A minimum of 3G cellular coverage is required. 4G cellular coverage is recommended for best performance. If one display disconnects from the internet, will it automatically reconnect and sync missing data? Yes. How many displays can be logged in at one time? How many displays can automatically sync data at one time? At the current time there are no known limitations on the number of displays that can be logged in at one time, as long as the user has the appropriate number of AgFiniti Essentials licenses. AgFiniti Essentials allows 3 displays per license. If users plan on having more than 3 displays logged into AgFiniti at the same time, they will have to purchase additional AgFiniti Essentials licenses. The number of displays that can automatically sync data at one time will directly depend on network connection, data transfer speeds, and amount of data being transferred. If users are running several displays at the same time and notice some are not syncing properly, considerations should be made. As an example: If a grower has 12 displays using DisplayCast, and if each display takes 1 minute to sync information (depending on data transfer speeds, amount of data syncing, etc.) to the AgFiniti Cloud, by the time the 9 th display syncs, 10 minutes will have passed and the first display will be ready to begin syncing data once again. This leaves no time for displays 10, 11, or 12 to sync with AgFiniti Cloud and send/receive sync DisplayCast â FAQ 77

81 information. If this scenario were to occur, growers have the following options: If display numbers 10, 11, and 12 in the operation do NOT NEED to receive real time updates, users can change their DisplayCast setting from "On" to "Manual" sync. For this scenario, it will allow users to sync as needed on more than 10 displays, and then allow displays 1-9 to sync in real time. If display numbers 10, 11, and 12 in the operation NEED to receive real time updates, for this scenario, users may need to split up displays to separate AgFiniti accounts/logins. As an example: In an operation, displays used for planting (displays 1-9) log into AgFiniti account A so as planted and AutoSwath maps update to each display in real time. Displays used for spraying (10-12) in the operation, will then log into AgFiniti account B so as applied and AutoSwath maps update to each display in real time. Keep in mind that the appropriate AgFiniti essentials license(s) for each AgFiniti account will still be required. Can I choose what information is synced or is everything synced? If DisplayCast is enabled, all information is synced. Can I see maps update in real time on AgFiniti Mobile or Map View? No, maps will only update in real time between InCommand displays. In order to view maps in AgFiniti map view or AgFiniti mobile the agdata files will need to be exported to the cloud for processing. Does data transfer faster to AgFiniti Mobile with DisplayCast unlocked? The process for transferring data to AgFiniti mobile has not changed. AgFiniti Mobile will sync all suspended and closed events automatically. The Manual Sync button can be used to transfer data to AgFiniti while in the middle of an event. Can I just export a reference map information and import it into another display using my USB drive? No, a DisplayCast Unlock and AgFiniti Essentials license are required to sync reference maps. AgFiniti seamlessly blends information together to prevent unnecessary duplication of data. How is DisplayCast different than using an.agsetup file? DisplayCast includes all attribute maps, coverage maps, marks, and other information to seamlessly mesh the maps together. Will DisplayCast sync with my auger wagon when harvesting? Yes, the auger wagon driver can view the harvest yield map in real-time and access guidance lines. Can I see instantaneous rates (yield/moisture/ground speed) of other machines in the same field? No, but the as-applied maps and summary information are viewable. i.e. Users can look at the yield map of the field to know where the green/red areas are and view the summary information to get the DisplayCast â FAQ 78

82 average yield. If I'm in the tillage tractor, can I sync data with the combine or the planter? Yes, coverage maps and attribute maps will be shared between all displays using DisplayCast. Will all of my logged data be available for export regardless of what display I go to? When using DisplayCast logged data is saved on the display that originally logged the data. If using SMS each.agdata file will need read in to make a complete map. What guidance lines are synced with DisplayCast? All guidance patterns and pattern groups will transfer except for SmartPath and Adaptive curve. If one operator nudges/shifts a guidance line will it change the other displays? No, it will not automatically nudge/shift on connected displays. At the current time there will be no indication either. If my implement widths do not match but I want to use the same pattern as the other machines, what happens? The same thing that happens today when sharing guidance lines. When guidance widths do not match, the user will be prompted to shift the guidance pattern. The second implement will use its own swath width. How do I get an event started on the display so that both displays' data gets logged together? One display starts a field. The second display will select the same event the first display started from the field setup wizard.the event will be identified with an AgFiniti icon so the second display knows what to select. Can I see the physical location of other machines in the same field that I am in? Yes, once both vehicles are in the field, the map will update in real time with the covered area of each machine/display using DisplayCast. If I delete management items (Boundary/Field/Configurations/Products) on one display are they deleted on others? Yes. It is important to make sure that any data tied to a management item has been exported prior to deleting. If a management item is deleted before data logged with that item is exported, all data tied to that management item will also be deleted. Note: Deleting seasons will not remove data from other, syned displays. In order to fully delete seasons, they will need to be deleted on each display individually, then the DisplayCast cloud data will need to be cleared. Once those steps are complete, syncing can be resumed and the seasons DisplayCast â FAQ 79

83 should no longer be present. If the cloud data is not cleared or seasons cleared on all displays, the deleted season will show backup on all synced displays. Does live data sync at different intervals compared to management information? Yes. Management information is not synced at the same interval as live maps, but it has logic built into it to sync as necessary. What is Ag Leader's recommendation for an internet source to be able to use this? Same as today when using AgFiniti Essentials. Bring your own hotspot device (Jetpack/ ipad.) What is Ag Leader's recommendation on GPS requirements for running two implements in the field at the same time? Ag Leader Recommends both machines run on the same differential source. Any GPS inacuracies between systems will be reflected in guidance lines and maps used for AutoSwath. Is there a way I can tell what data came from what display on AgFiniti? Yes, this option is available in Map View and AgFiniti Mobile. Will summary information give me field totals as well as individual totals per display? Yes. If I'm on display A can I see productivity information for display B? No. However, summary information from each display can be viewed. What happens if I buy a new display? How does it get information from other displays? Just log into AgFiniti on the display and all data will sync from the other displays in the fleet. Do acre totals and AutoSwath work across multiple machines? Yes, coverage maps used for AutoSwath will automatically update on other displays and acre totals will be summed together for the field. Note: The exception to this would be when using multiple planters in a field that are driven by different methods (ground vs. hydraulic/suredrive). Follow this link for further explanation. How far away can vehicles be and still have displays sync? Display information is sent over the internet so there isn't a maximum distance. In most cases, the limitation will be due to cellular network coverage. DisplayCast â FAQ 80

84 Will DisplayCast work with in field radios? No, Each display requires a connection to the internet (cellular hotspot). How can I tell what vehicle covered a specific area of the field? On the Legends tab there is an Equipment Configuration attribute. This will show what area of the field was covered based on the name of the configuration used. For this reason, it is important to uniquely name configurations for each implement. If I load a prescription on one display, will it automatically load on any other display in the event? No, each display that needs to use a prescription will still load it individually. However, the same.agsetup file can be used on each display when importing via AgFiniti. If I select Automatic Variety Tracking, does it automatically turn on variety tracking for other combines in the same event? No, Automatic Variety Tracking will still need turned on through the region select page or when loading the configuration. Any display using DisplayCast will have the variety map available to use without needing to use the "import" function. If I use a prior operation reference map for AutoSwath, will that map automatically load for other Displays on the same event? No, the reference map will need to be manually loaded on each display via AgFiniti. The all reference maps will be available regardless of what display originally logged the data. How are naming conflicts with management information handled or how are same names for Grower/Farm/Field handled? If an object can be merged together such as a Grower/Farm/Field, it will automatically be merged through DisplayCast. If the objects cannot be merged, such as a display configuration, two identically named items will show up in each display after the display syncs. It is important that each configuration has a unique name. The best way to accomplish this is to setup all configurations for the operation on one display and allow it to sync between all displays. Do permissions/users sync arcoss all displays when using DisplayCast? Users transfer through DisplayCast but permissions for each Manager/Operator do not. Each display using permissions will need to setup the specific roles for Managers/Operators. There are no addition permission levels added due to DisplayCast. If the display is logged into AgFiniti, data will sync regardless of permission level. If I make a custom legend for a specific product or hybrid, will that sync to other displays? No, custom legends regardless of being setup as product or operation defaults do not transfer between displays. This allows each operator to configure the legend as they please. DisplayCast â FAQ 81

85 How are Map Shifts handled when using DisplayCast? Shifting the map is a display/operation specific feature. If one display shifts an on screen map, it stays specific to that display. Other displays on the event will have no indicator that the shift happened. Will DisplayCast work with OEM branded displays? Example: Hardi HC8600/9600 sync with Ag Leader InCommand Displays. Yes, DisplayCast will work between any InCommand display even if it is OEM branded. If I have planter A that is ground driven and planter B that is hydraulic/suredrive driven, will AutoSwath work the same as if I had SureDrive, Hydraulic, or ground drive on both planters? Yes, for AutoSwath maps to be shared in real-time between displays with different drive planters, InCommand display must be updated to v2.5 or newer. Ground driven planters log data differently than hydraulic drive and SureDrive driven planters. Because of this, AutoSwath maps will be only be shared in real time if the reference map is loaded. Any planters in an operation that are driven by hydraulic or SureDrive will sync AutoSwath maps in real-time without loading a reference map. If I have two machines in the same field, one is spraying pre-emergent, the other is planting, will they share guidance lines? What if I only want to plant where the pre-emergent has been sprayed? A. Once the guidance line is created, it will be available for all other operations to access. B. On the InCommand 1200 planting display, load the pre-emergent coverage map while using split screen. This will allow for real-time update of the pre-emergent map and not affect the AutoSwath of the seeder. Alternatively, load a reference map for pre-emergent on the mapping screen of the planter display but do not check "use for AutoSwath" as that will make sure AutoSwath will not be used. Note: On InCommand v2.5+, reference maps will update automatically. If I have two combines running in the same field, will they be able to share yield and AutoSwath maps between displays in real-time? A. When using two aftermarket kit (Ag Leader flow sensor, moisture module, and speed module) combines with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath and harvest maps will sync in real-time between displays. B. When using two Quantimeter kit (bridge module) combines with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath and harvest maps will sync real-time between displays. C. When using an aftermarket kit combine and a Quantimeter kit combine with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath and harvest maps will not sync in real-time (reference map must be loaded). Note: A harvest reference map can be loaded to show harvest data but an AutoSwath reference map cannot be shared between displays as with planting or spraying. Keep in mind that only one reference map can be loaded at a time. A variety tracking reference map must first be unloaded from the mapping screen before the harvest reference map can be loaded.

91 DisplayCastâ Considerations When Using Multiple Planters in the Same Field DisplayCastâ considerations when using two or more planters in the same field: On InComand v2.5 and newer: 1. When using two ground drive planters with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath map will sync in real-time between displays. 2. When using a hydraulic drive planter and a SureDrive (or hydraulic drive) planter with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath map will sync real-time between displays. 3. When using a ground drive planter and a hydraulic drive (or SureDrive) planter with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath map will sync in real-time only after loading the reference map. Reference maps update in real time in v2.5+ On InCommand v2.2 and prior: 1. When using a ground drive planter with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath map will only sync in real-time if other planters in use are also ground drive. This occurs because ground driven planters log data differently than hydraulic drive/suredrive planters. 2. When using a hydraulic drive planter and a SureDrive (or Hydraulic Drive) planter with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath maps will sync between displays in real-time. 3. When using a ground drive planter and a hydraulic drive (or SureDrive) planter with DisplayCast, the AutoSwath map will not sync in real-time.

92 Why is my Smart Report data incorrect only while using DisplayCast? When a smart report is created while using DisplayCast, there is a prompt that asks what configuration the user is creating the report for. After selecting the configuration, the report then creates a full map and splits the logged data into regions based on configurations. Region 1 will be the configuration that was selected by the user. Region 2+ will be the other configurations used on the operation. Note: Be aware of sync timing with summary information. Summary information is updated approximately every 10minutes. It is possible that users can see inaccurate data if the final sync to AgFiniti Cloud and back to the display has not occurred. Below is an example of two Smart Reports exported from "Display 2". Both reports were exported for the same configuration but if you look closely at summary data in both pictures, there are differences between the two reports. This is because the first report was exported right after completing the field and the summary information had not yet synced between AgFiniti Cloud and each display. This could cause issues with users that auto generate reports while having two machines in the same field at the same time, but the data has not synced to AgFiniti Cloud.

102 What do I need to do before I start using DisplayCast? What if my data is not syncing on initial setup? Before logging into AgFiniti on each display to use DisplayCast, there is a list of best practice recommendations to make sure initial setup and sync goes smoothly. The following recommendations are the best practices to perform either before or during the initial DisplayCast sync. For more information about DisplayCast setup, requirements, and settings, see the InCommand Display User Guide. Best Practices for Initial DisplayCast Setup/syncing: 1. Upgrade display to latest firmware. 2. Clear any non-essential information Ex: old guidance lines, configurations, management items, etc Note: The most recent information will automatically sync and update across all displays that are using DisplayCast. 3. Utilize a non-cellular, unlimited data internet connection Ex: Home or shop Wi-Fi 4. Sync only one display at a time Login to AgFiniti on display A and complete sync prior to logging display B, C, D, etc. into AgFiniti. After display A syncs, change DisplayCast setting to manual to allow display B to sync data. Continue to only allow one display to sync at a time by changing the previously synced display to "Manual Only," until all displays have synced data. 5. After initial sync of each individual InCommand display, start back with the 1st display and sync all displays one at a time again, in the same order as the initial sync 6. This will ensure that all information from all displays are on each of the displays within the operation Change the DisplayCast setting back to "Automatic" and ensure all displays have current data/information. If data is not syncing properly on initial setup (due to multiple displays attempting to sync at the same time): 1. Upgrade all displays in use to latest firmware. 2. Change DisplayCast setting to "Manual Only" on all displays logged into AgFiniti. Manual DisplayCast setting will only sync data when prompted by the user. 3. On display A select the "Sync" button to manually sync data from this display to AgFiniti cloud. 4. After display A sync is complete, move to display B and select the "Sync" button to manually sync data from this display to AgFiniti cloud. 5. Continue to manually sync each display, one at a time to ensure DisplayCast data is syncing properly. 6. After manually syncing each display data one at a time, verify that all data is the same on each individual display. 7. Change each DisplayCast setting back to the desired setting for the customer's operation (Automatic, Manual, Off). Figure 1 - DisplayCast setting set to "Manual" shown below.

106 What are Wired IP address and Wireless IP address and what to they do? This article discusses the difference between the Wired IP Address and Wireless IP Address and how to begin with basic troubleshooting. To access the Wired or Wireless IP address, users will need to access their display CAN list, within Display Diagnostics. Follow the button presses below. Display Diagnostics Wired IP Address: When the Wired IP address is populated as shown below, the display is aware that the Ethernet port is getting feedback from the display, through the display harnessing, to the steering controller. Wireless IP Address: When the Wireless IP address is populated as shown below, the Agfiniti WiFi adapter is installed and we are actively connected to an internet hotspot This does not mean that users are logged in to an AgFiniti Account. If the Wireless IP address shows as "None" and users desire to use AgFiniti functions, investigate the Wireless Network List to ensure ensure proper connection. There is another Wireless IP address that may populate ( ) within the diagnostics screen, as shown below. This populates when the display is in 'Access Point Mode.' Access Point Mode is when the display has created a local WiFi hotspot to allow an IPad to communicate with the display. When the Wired IP address is 'None,' this may indicate that the controller isn't communicating to the display. What are Wired IP address and Wireless IP address and what to they do? 103

107 This could be caused due to a boot up timeframe, or an open connection between the Display and steering controller. Verify the controller has power, and verify Ethernet connection is connected. Troubleshooting Wired IP Address 'None': On the InCommand 1200 and Incommand 800 displays there is a connection that does not appear to be the traditional Ethernet connection, as shown in the picture below. This connection is required in order to communicate with the steering controller. The other Ethernet connection is located on the display cable, and connects to the Steering Controller's main harness Ethernet port. SteerCommand cabling diagram is show below as an example.

(30 day rule) Question: I've exported by log files out of the display once, for how long can I still re-export those files, if needed? Answer: The user has 30 days to re-export log files that have been already been exported. After 30 days, the files will not be available to export, however the field operation can still be viewed from the summary page. This is done to maintain display memory and performance. Example: An.agdata file was created and exported to the USB drive upon shutdown on September 15th. On October 16th, that.agdata file would not be available for export to the USB drive. A way to avoid being caught by the 30 day rule is to export files only when you are ready to read the files into your desktop software or, if you are using the export upon shutdown option, read your files in on a more frequent basis to ensure there are no issues. Another way is to periodically make display backups, which is also recommended, so if something goes wrong, you can load the backup and export the files.

136 My guidance lines and mapping data aren't showing up on the mapping screen. What can I do? The clear bounds button can be used to alleviate issues pertaining to flyer points. Flyer points are instances of logged data several miles apart. What can happen is that the two logged points are so far away that the map pans out enough to encompass both points, then the coverage map is no longer viewable. As an example, say farmer Brown went home for lunch and lowered his site verification planter. After lunch, farmer Brown loaded his next field operation in the display and then drove 4 miles to the field. He lowers the planter and begins planting. Everything is working but no coverage map is created. This would be symptoms of a clear bounds issue. Pressing the clear bounds button will center the map based on the GPS receiver's position. When working with Tech Support on clear bounds issues, please be sure to note which firmware version and display you're using. Jump to section: InCommand clear bounds button presses Integra/Versa clear bounds button presses Insight clear bounds button presses How to prevent flyer points: The best solution would be to have a field boundary for all the grower's fields in the display. This would help to eliminate these issues in the first place. Another consideration is to be mindful of logging points outside the field. Lastly, consider waiting to get to the field before loading the field operation in the display. Any flyer points created can easily be deleted in SMS.

144 Q: Will I lose my data when upgrading to version 5.2? Question: When upgrading to version 5.2, will I lose my data? Answer: No. When upgrading from an earlier display firmware version to version 5.2 you will not lose any data. However, after upgrading, the ability to add to the last instance of any field operations that occurred before the upgrade will be lost. As an example, say a field was half planted with version 4.5 before rains came. The dealer stopped by to upgrade the display during the break and now the previously applied map for AutoSwath will not be available for planting the second half of the field. Wait until the field operation is completed before upgrading to version 5.2 if the grower wants to utilize the previously applied map. Q: Will I lose my data when upgrading to version 5.2? 141

145 Tramlines for Ag Leader(R) Integra, Versa and Compass Displays Tramlines Tramlines are defined as the planted or unplanted parallel paths through the field for the purpose of controlled traffic. This aids to minimize compaction, reduce product application overlapping and can be incorporated using machine guidance. Introduced for Ag Leader Integra/Versa firmware version 4.0, tramline support allows the user to receive both visible and audible warning when a tramline is approaching. This is used as a queue to manually shut sections off to create their desired tramline. The visual queue for tramlines is the tram number below the on screen lightbar that will flash the pass number when the tramline is reached. At the same time the tram number is flashing the display will beep for the audible indicator. Note: Tramline support is compatible with Straight AB and Identical Curve patterns only Tramlines for Ag Leader(R) Integra, Versa and Compass Displays 142

146 Operation Tramlines are enabled during pattern selected by enabling the checkbox located below the guidance width selection. Once the tramline feature is enabled, a new tab will be available within the guidance options menu. Tramlines tab from guidance options Paths between Tramlines: The number of passes between tramlines. For the 90' swath example below, the paths between tramlines value would be 2. Paths to Start Field: The number of passes at the beginning of the field before the first tramline. For the 90' swath example blow, the paths to start field value would be 1. Guide to: Choose between Paths and Tramlines Tramlines for Ag Leader(R) Integra, Versa and Compass Displays 143

147 Tramline options from the guidance tab Example As an example, set the tramlines to your widest implement width and all other machines will have implement widths (paths) divisible by that widest width. Take a grower that has a 120' sprayer on the farm, a 40' planter (16 30'' rows), a 30' chisel plow and an 8 row 30'' combine header. The distance between tramlines would be 120 feet to accommodate the sprayer and all other implements would have multiple paths between tramlines to add up the 120' width. The paths between tramlines values would be 3 for the planter, 4 for the chisel plow and 5 for the combine as these are the working widths divided by 120.

148 Integra/Versa/Compass v6.6+ Implement Modeling In Integra/Versa/Compass v6.6+ display firmware customers have the ability to travel in reverse without the display icon flipping in a single antenna GPS scenario. This is improved and expanded from just application configurations (v6.2) to all configurations. Additionally there are no limits to the speed or distance in which a customer can do this. For this feature to work properly the user must first establish the forward direction of travel. The display does this automatically by using the first direction of travel after the GPS receiver gets a position fix. The customers' first direction of travel must be forward for this feature to work properly. In the instance that the customer drives the reverse direction first after a GPS fix they will most likely find the icon on the mapping screen to look inverted or upside down. To fix this the customer will need to press the heading change button located on the mapping screen in the lower left corner when in full screen view as shown below.

152 What does the Save Patterns Automatically check box do? Why do we have this option? "Save patterns automatically" checkbox is for the user that doesn't want to save or reuse guidance lines. Prior to this check box option, all guidance patterns (other than SmartPath) would automatically save to the display. How does it work? Default setting - When "Save patterns automatically" is checked, the display will save all created guidance patterns with a date/time stamp (except for SmartPath). See picture below. SmartPath does not automatically save in the same way that AB lines do. SmartPath patterns can manually be saved and reloaded but only to a configuration with the same guidance width. SmartPath cannot be exported to another display. Keep this in mind when using the display in your operation. When "Save patterns automatically" is un-checked, the display will never save created guidance lines, unless the user manually saves the guidance pattern in Guidance Options.

160 Q: Can I map tile lines with my PF series monitor? Question: Can I map tile lines with my PF series monitor? Answer: Yes, you may use the PF in Site Verification mode to map tile lines. The most effective way to map tile lines is to use the area count switch to map out the individual lines. You simply turn the area count on when you want to map a particular line, and then turn it off when you move to the next tile line. (Tip: if you have different tile sizes in the field, use a different load for the different tile sizes. Simply name the load the size of the tile. When you make the map in SMS, the different tile sizes will be different colors on the map.) Q: Can I map tile lines with my PF series monitor? 157

161 Q: What setup is required in order to use my PF for monitoring/controlling seeding and fertilizer rates? Question: What setup is required in order to use my PF for monitoring/controlling seeding and fertilizer rates? Answer: To operate the majority of controllers with the PF, all you'll need is a single serial cable. With that simple addition, you'll be able to map the actual rates you apply as well as Variable Rate Control if so desired. If your controller does not have a serial port on it or is not compatible with PF monitors, many times we can tee into the flow meter connection. With this setup, you will not be able to control the unit but will be able to record what you applied.

162 Q: I have GPS signal, my area is counting and showing yields but I can't see a map on the PF Series monitor Question: I have GPS signal, my area is counting and showing yields but I can't see a map. Answer: You most likely have a flier point from a bad GPS reading or you may have logged a point elsewhere before coming to the current field. If using a PF monitor, view the files on the Card and delete temporary coverage files ending in *.pfc. *.pfc files contain on-screen viewing maps, and are not important. If using a CAN based display, you may try to use the zoom function, clear bounds or create a boundary for your field. By having a boundary in the display you will avoid flier points distorting your map. Q: I have GPS signal, my area is counting and showing yields but I can't see a map on the PF Series 159 monito

173 PF with Add-on GPS Sluggish Behavior Symptom/Indication: PF3000 with and Add GPS is responding slow or sluggish to button presses. Problem/Cause: In July of 2007, old WAAS satellite PRNs 122 and 134 were decommissioned. The PF3000 Add-on GPS units will require an upgrade to be able to utilize the new WAAS satellite PRNs 135 and 138. Units that have not been upgraded may not track current WAAS PRNs 135 and 138 and may also take several seconds to respond to button presses. Solution: Add-on GPS firmware of 3.0 or higher is required to use the new WAAS PRNs, upgrade to current firmware. Switch GPS output language from TSIP to NMEA if the lightbar is not being used. Note: GPS 3100 receivers produced before 1999 with board revision AL9001 cannot be updated to the current firmware version 3.00 and will no longer be able to track WAAS after the AOR-W and POR satellites have been decommissioned. These receivers can still use Coast Guard Beacon or OmniSTAR VBS differential corrections.
