How to I output GPS from my AFS display to another system?
-
The recommended way to output GPS is through the NAV-II controller. A power/data cable will be required and is available from your dealer (P/N 380002422). This cable will plug into the diagnostic connector located on the NAV-II harness. The other end of the cable will be connected to the system you are sending GPS to. Once connected, configure the needed NMEA strings by going to Home > Toolbox > NAV and using the NMEA Output Setup and NMEA Message Setup buttons in the AFS display. The settings will be dependant on what device you are connecting to and can be obtained from the device manufacturer.

I am getting error “AG-060 Cannot engage Automatic” when I attempt to engage AccuGuide on my combine. How can I fix this?
-
AccuGuide is not enabled. Ensure the “AccuGuide enable switch” or “AccuGuide master switch” is in the enabled position.
-
Why is the RowGuide on my Axial-Flow combine not working even though I am seeing voltage feedback on the display?
-
First, ensure that voltages are being measured on the Diag > RowG tab and not in the graph tab. Check to ensure the RowGuide harness is connected to the correct connector. Most Axial-Flow combines have a 4-pin deutsch connector under the cab that will accept the RowGuide harness, however, this is not the appropriate connection for AFS RowGuide. Most Axial-Flow combines will have a separate harness coiled up by the NAV controller, under the RH console, beneath the cover which will need to be pushed through the grommet in the floor to be connected to the RowGuide harness.

I'm not sure what version my NAV II or GPS Reciever software is on. Where can I check this?
-
Go to Diagnostics > CAN tab. This tab will list every controller on the vehicle, and controller information includes what software version each one is on.
The controller name for the NAV II is 'NAV II' and for the GPS Reciever is 'GPS'.
The version listed next to 'Software Version' is the software version installed in the controller.
If the controller is coming up as 'Not Detected', contact your dealer for further troubleshooting.

How do I calibrate guidance in my 2016 (or newer) Steiger?

-
Does the Pro 700 save data to the internal memory of the display?
-
The AFS Pro 700 display does not save all data to the internal memory. To save mapping data, a USB memory device must be installed in the display during operation. Examples of mapping data include: combine mapping (yield and moisture), as-applied mapping (seed, fertilizer, herbicide, etc.), vehicle data mapping (fuel used, engine load, slip, etc.). If operating without a USB, mapping data will be shown on the display, but when the display is shut down, it will not be saved. There is no way to recover this data.
