Heading
The heading is the direction that the machine is traveling, shown in degrees, clockwise from grid north. 0 degrees equals North, 180 degrees equals South. The heading is calculated by comparing the left GPS antenna with the right GPS antenna.Guidance for a single antenna system is not given when the machine has just been started or when the machine has lost the GPS signal.The message "Low Accuracy GPS" flashes on the display. In this situation, wait until you are receiving high accuracy GPS signals again.Pitch
Pitch is the forward or aft angle of the machine, calculated in degrees from the horizontal (0 degrees). Pitch is expressed in percentage or "Rise: Run" depending on the unit settings. The pitch is considered positive when the angle is above the horizontal (up at the front). The pitch is considered negative when the angle is below the horizontal (down at the front).The pitch is calculated with the information from the pitch sensor. The AccuGrade system uses the pitch of the machine body in order to determine the bucket pitch.Pitch will become inaccurate if the pitch sensor is not connected. The message "Check Pitch Sensor"flashes on the display. In this situation, make sure that the pitch sensor is connected to the CAN bus.Orientation
Orientation is the direction in which the bucket is facing. The orientation is calculated from the vector between the two antennas.Cross Slope
Cross slope is the cross fall of the bucket, orthogonal to the direction of travel (machine heading). This is significant when the machine has a bucket that can be angled with respect to the body of the machine. Positive cross slope rises to the right. With respect to the left bucket tip, the cross slope is considered positive when the right bucket tip is high, and negative when the right bucket tip is low.
