For example, an operator of a front shovel selects the "Send Truck" button when the operator has finished loading a truck to send the truck. On the other hand, a track-type tractor will never load a truck. Therefore, the tractor will never use this function.The on-board software uses three types of files for grade and slope applications. Each file provides essential information for the software.
