Adjusting how you use ISOBUS-TC

First of all, you must decide how you will use the ISOBUS-TC application. The operation of ISOBUSTC and TRACK-Leader is dependent on this setting.

There are two scenarios in which you can use ISOBUS-TC. Use the "Work with ISO-XML?" parameter to set the scenario you will work with: ▪ "Yes"

Select this setting if you set up tasks on your PC or if you want to set up tasks on the display. In this instance, you must always start a task before you start work. Only then does the data exchange between ISOBUS-TC, TRACK-Leader and the ISOBUS-job computer function. You will need a "ISOBUS-TC" license for this.

▪ "No"

Select these setting if you do not use tasks. Instead, you use application maps in shp format or enter the application rates directly into the ISOBUS-job computer. In this instance, ISOBUS-TC only works in the background. You will not need a license for this. You can also skip the other sections of the instructions regarding ISOBUS-TC.

You can change the mode of the "ISOBUS-TC" application as follows:

1. Change to "Settings" screen:

| ISOBUS-TC |

⇨ The following screen appears:

- Select and click on the "Work with ISO-XML?" line.
