Cat® Terrain v6 for Grading and Loading Caterpillar


Display Configuration Tools

Usage:

- TER
This section introduces the Screen Configuration Utility (SCU) and discusses the toolbars that are available on the display module to perform specific tasks. Instruction is provided for configuring the toolbars for specific uses and all icons that an operator will see that are on the screens are listed. Information is also provided for configuring the screen to suit the preference of the operator or the operating conditions.

SCU

SCU is the tool used to configure the display module. SCU user information is in the "Screen Configuration Utility User Guide", which is included in the Cat MineStar System install CD and download. An electronic copy is also stored in the MCU Help file.

Sending the Screen Configuration File to the Machine

To send the screen configuration text file to the machine:

  1. Use the Screen Configuration Utility (SCU) to configure the screen to suit your requirements.

  2. Use the "Save Screen As" option to enter the new screen configuration file name that is to be used for the new screen configuration.

    This name ensures that the file will not be overwritten the next time the SCU is used. For example, if a reconfigured grade screen for a D3:C4 Nav 10.4 monitor display is to be saved, save the file to:

    C:\Program Files\Caterpillar\CAESultra_ Configure_2004.1 \ Screens\Navigator\ WinCfggrade_new.txt

  3. Use the FTP Client to send the screen configuration file to the machine.

    The file that is sent and loaded on the machine should be called:

    WinCfg.txt

Using the Cat Logo

Cat Logo

The layout of the on-board software on the screen is defined by screen configuration files. The files are stored in \CAES\data and named WinCfgXXX.txt or similar.

The logo window will not appear for a new install. If upgrading, the logo window is usually in the top right-hand side of the screen.

If upgrading, the following applies:

  • Resize and move the logo window as you would normally resize and move other windows.

  • Touch the logo to open the floating toolbar.

  • Reboot to reinstate the window to the initial size.

Menu - Opens the main menu

To remove the logo window permanently, complete these steps:

  1. Add the toolbar buttons associated with the logo window to another toolbar.

    Reference: For more information about adding buttons to toolbars, refer to the MCU Help file, "Toolbar - About".

  2. In the main menu, select "Configuration" > "Window" > "Close". The logo reappears in the Status bar that is at the bottom right of the display.

  3. In the main menu, select "Configuration" > "Screens" > "Save Screens". The Cat logo window and any toolbars associated with the window are deleted and cannot be reinstated.

About Toolbars

The following tool bars are available for configuration on a display module:

Floating - Floating toolbars are used for displaying window-specific tools. The toolbars can be configured to appear on the display when the window is touched.

Fixed - Fixed toolbars are always available on the screen. The toolbars can be configured to display general use tools.

General use tools include tools such as "Intensity Control" and "Change Operator", or any other tools that are frequently used and must be accessed quickly.

Floating toolbars

Resizing Screens and Windows on a PC or Laptop

The mobile software application runs on various displays. Users have the flexibility to resize the screens and windows on the following:

  • Personal computers

  • Laptops

Note: The word "screen" describes the whole of the visual component of the software. The word "window" describes the smaller panes found on the screen.

Note: Screens cannot be resized on the G610 display module. The software recognizes the display and sets the screen size to fill the display.

To resize screens and windows in the mobile software:

  1. Save a backup copy of the original windows configuration file before resizing the screen or window on a PC for the first time. By default, the windows configuration file is located in:

    C:\TerrainMobile\CAES\config

  2. Open the mobile software and move the cursor to one of the edges of the screen.

    The cursor changes into a double-headed arrow.

  3. Left-click and drag the screen in the same way as if resizing windows in a PC.

Usage Notes

When the screen or window size is changed, button icons do not scale. Toolbars may end up longer than the outside border.

When the screen size is changed, windows within the border automatically scale. There are some exceptions, for example diagnostic windows do not scale.

Menu - Opens the main menu

If the new screen size will be kept, save the on-board software by completing one of the following:

  • Close the on-board software by clicking the cross at the top right-hand side of the user interface. This method is the easiest. The software opens to the same size when restarted.

  • Alternatively, add "$ Development Menu =1" to the master.txt file, open the main menu, and select "Configuration" > "Screens" > "Save Screens".

The screen may not save, or may permanently fill the entire display. In these situations, ask the Terrain Site Champion to:

  1. Add the "$ Title Bar" key to the master.txt file.

  2. Check that the configuration file exists.

Custom Cursor Symbol

The cursor is used on the display module. The user must specify a valid cursor file using a cursor editor to create the file. The custom cursor is used anywhere that a special cursor is not needed. Both "*.cur"and "*.ani" files are supported.

Reference: For additional information, refer to the MCU Help file, "Custom Cursor".

LED Brightness

The brightness of the green LED on the top left of the D3:C4 Nav 10.4 monitor display can be configured in the MCU. The brightness can be set at any level between fully dimmed to fully bright.

Reference: For additional information, refer to the MCU Help file, "LED Brightness".

Backlight Intensity Level

Use the "Intensity Control" dialog to set the backlight intensity of the display.

Intensity - Opens the "Intensity Control" dialog

Menu - Opens the main menu

  1. Open the "Intensity Control" dialog using one of the following methods:

    Intensity - Select the button.

    Menu - Select "System" > "Screen" > "Intensity".



    Illustration 10g03381960
    Slide bar control for changing display intensity

  2. Touch the slide bar control and drag the control either left or right to change the backlighting intensity.

    The behavior is as follows:

    D3:C4 Nav 10.4 Monitor Display - Each of the ticks on the slide bar control sets a level of brightness. Use the "Backlight Levels" setting to modify the level of brightness for each tick.

    G610 Display Module - Each of the ticks has a default brightness level which cannot be altered. The default brightness setting for the dimmest level is set to ensure that the screen is always visible in daylight.

    Note: If the G610 display module screen is dimmed completely, a faint image remains that is difficult to see, especially in daylight. The screen can be returned to full intensity by touching the top right of the screen, then quickly touching the bottom left of the screen.

  3. Select "OK" to set the intensity permanently.

    Ensure that the dimmest level that is set still allows the information to be viewed.

Using FTP Server Service

From v5.0, the Cat FTP Server runs as a "service" on the G610 display or on a portable PC. A service is a long-running file that performs specific functions without interrupting the user. The Cat FTP Server service opens when the on-board software starts, then runs in the background. The user does not have to start, stop, or exit the service.

To start the Cat FTP Server service, start the on-board software by the normal method.

To verify that the FTP Server on a G610 display module is turned on, complete these steps:

  1. Start the on-board software.

  2. Plug in a keyboard.

  3. Press the Window icon to make the lower Windows task bar appear.

  4. Select the "FTP Server Applet" symbol on the lower right corner.

    1. If "Start FTP Sever" is grayed out, the FTP server is running.

    2. If "Stop FTP Server" is grayed out, the FTP Server is stopped.

    3. An error has occurred If both "Start FTP Server" and "Stop FTP Server" are available. Reboot the on-board software and recheck if this error occurs.

To verify that the FTP Server on a portable PC is turned on, start the FTP server and complete Step 4 above.

Talk to IT support staff before stopping or exiting the Cat FTP Server.

Setting a Language on the Display

There are two ways to select the language that appears on the display module:

  • The office selects the language file by sending a file activate of the specific language file from the office to the machine.

  • The operator selects the language file through the "Select Language File" dialog.

Menu - Opens the main menu

To use the "Select Language File" dialog to set a new language on the display, complete these steps:



    Illustration 12g03747546
    "Select Language File" dialog

  1. From the main menu, select "System" > "Select" > "Select Language File".

    The "Select Language File" dialog appears.

    By default the following languages are listed in the "Select Language File" dialog:

    • English

    • French

    • Spanish

    • Swedish

    • Portuguese

    • Russian

    • Mongolian

  2. Select the language that will be used on the display module.

    For example, to use Spanish, select "5.0 Spanish".

  3. Select "OK".

    Note: When the operator shuts down the on-board software, the selected language file is saved.

Reference: For information on advanced tasks such as editing the "Set Language File" dialog, installing a new language in the MCU, and using resource files and language identifiers, refer to "Language Support" section of this manual.

Guidance Point for Supervisor Truck

The vertical guidance point for the Supervisor Truck machine type is normally the center of the front bumper projected to the ground. Use the "Guidance Point" menu item to select the center of one of the front wheels projected to the ground as the guidance point.

Menu - Opens the main menu

  1. In the main menu, select "System" > "Select" > "Guidance Point".

  2. Select the required guidance point. The "Guidance Point" dialog appears.

Note: The operator settings for guidance point are stored in memory when the on-board software is stopped and then started.

Note: The origin, rather than the guidance point, is used for PR2 messages.

Window Elements

With "Left Wheel" selected as the guidance point, the following user interface elements and values are taken from the center of the left front wheel projected to the ground:

Displaying Direction



Illustration 18g03417119
A machine facing west, with line work for machine regions displayed

On the Plan window, the image of the machine appears facing the current direction. For example, Illustration 18 shows the machine facing west.

The on-board software employs one of the following methods to calculate the direction of the machine:

  • Compares two positions to show the direction of movement

  • Uses an optional physical switch wired to signal the use of the reverse gear

  • Uses electronic information from the transmission Electronic Control Module (ECM)"Trans gear" parameter. This parameter describes the state of the transmission, signaling the selected gear.

  • Uses electronic information from the Blade Control ECM signaling the selected gear

Alternatively, the operator can press the calibrate button at any stage until the correct direction appears. The software disables the Calibrate button for all dual antenna machines.

Comparing Two Positions

As the position of the machine changes, the on-board software calculates which direction is forward and which direction is backwards. No input is required from the user. This method is reliable in most situations.

Using a Physical Switch

As the machine changes direction from forward to reverse, a physical switch wired to signal the use of the reverse gear triggers the direction change. This method is unnecessary if the on-board software uses the transmission ECM and cannot be used in Terrain v6.

Using the Transmission ECM

The on-board software periodically checks the trans gear "R" values and sets the machine direction as "Forward", "Reverse", "Neutral", or "Park" through CAN Port 3. No input is required from the user.

If using this method, refer to the CAN diagnostics window, Sensor tab, for information about CAN messages from the transmission ECM, stating "Forward", "Reverse", "Neutral", and "Park".

Using Blade Control

The ECM fitted on machines using Blade Control signals "Forward", "Reverse", "Neutral", or "Park" through CAN port 1. No input is required from the user. The software creates a check brake warning in the Blade Control diagnostics file.

If using this method, refer to the CAN diagnostics window, Sensor tab, for information about CAN messages from the ECM, stating "Forward", "Reverse", "Neutral", and "Park".

Loss of Heading

Most single antenna (single receiver) machines calculate the heading of the machine by comparing two positions and assuming that the machine does not rotate, crab, or slip. Single antenna machines, other than front shovels, do not rotate.

There is no change to the icon or buffers for loss of heading on a site using Position Broadcast for position sharing.

Where the site uses Site Awareness, loss of heading affects the size of the machine regions of your machine and the icon of the monitored machine.

Reference: For detailed information about loss of heading, including information related to front shovels, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU8822, "Display Module", "Loss of Heading".

Loss of Position

The icon of your machine does not change when "GPS Status" changes or when position is lost.

The icon of the monitored machine varies depending on the following position sharing methods:

  • Site Awareness

  • Site Awareness with Detect

  • Position Broadcast

Reference: For detailed information about the sharing methods, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU8822, "Display Module", "Loss of Position".
