Using the Machine Configuration Utility
The Machine Configuration Utility (MCU) is a tool that configures advanced machine settings. The software replaces the previous method of editing the machine configuration file (mach_cfg.txt) file by hand.Reference: For information on using the MCU, select Start > All Programs > Cat MineStar System and Tools > Machine Configuration Utility.Reference: For information on adding the machine in Cat MineStar System, refer to Systems Operation, RENR9562, "Terrain User Guide".Performing the Dimension Measurements and Measure-up
To set up the machine in the office, complete these steps:
On the machine, measure the machine GPS receiver offsets and the machine dimensions.Reference: Refer to "Performing the Calibrations" in this document for your specific machine and "Machine Dimensions" in the MCU Help file for additional information.
In the MCU, complete the following steps:
Open the MCU.
Select the machine name.
Select Machine > Machine Dimensions. Enter the dimensions.
In the menu bar, select File > Send to Cat MineStar System.
Ask the Terrain Site Champion to send out a site-specific application file for the satellite receiver.
Restart the on-board system and verify the accuracy of the satellite receiver as follows:
Move the machine origin to a known point.
Compare the Northing, Easting, and Elevation.Performing the Calibrations
Enter correct details. Any errors transfer directly into the finished as-built surface file. All measurements are in meters.
Phase Center
When a measurement refers to the phase center, the phase center is located 12.8 cm (5.0 inch) from the bottom of the receiver.

Measuring for the phase center (48)
( 8) 353-2794 Receiver
(12) Phase centerX and Y Measurements
The "X" measurement that is taken to the right of the centerline of the machine is a positive number.
The "X" measurement that is taken to the left of the centerline of the machine is a negative number.
The "Y" measurement that is taken in front of the front axle will be a positive number.
The "Y" measurement that is taken behind the front axle is a negative number.Calibrating Wheel Loaders
Illustration 17 g03473780
Illustration 18 g03473781To calibrate a wheel loader, complete these steps:
On the machine, measure the machine GPS receiver offsets.Reference: Refer to the side view in Illustration 17 and the sample MCU screen shot Illustration 18 as a reference guide and template to record the machine dimensions.
GPS x - Measure the distance from the phase center (12) of the receiver (8) to the centerline of the machine.Note: The phase center is located 12.8 cm (5.0 inch) from the bottom of the receiver.
GPS y - Measure the distance from the phase center (12) of the receiver (8) to the center of the front axle of the machine.
GPS z - Measure the distance from the phase center (12) of the receiver (8) to the bottom of the wheels.
On the machine, measure the following machine dimensions:
Loader Bucket Width - Measure the distance between the outer edges of the bucket, measured across the cutting edge of the bucket.
Loader Wheel Base - Measure the distance between the center line of the rear wheel axle and the center line of the front wheel axle measured parallel to the center line of the machine.
