Terminal for task management
You can always use ISOBUS-TC task management, regardless of whether you are driving in parallel,
switching sections or simply operating an ISOBUS job computer. However, the most important
settings mentioned in the previous sections must be made for each of these applications.
Important for ISOBUS-TC:
▪ Always remember to start and stop the tasks.
▪ After finishing work, you must save all of the tasks on the USB memory device (log out the USB
memory device) before you remove the USB memory device or transmit new tasks onto the
terminal.

Keyboard for inputting text.
Using a memory device
The terminal can work with two kinds of memory devices:
1. With an integrated micro-SD card. This will be used as storage for most applications.
2. With an inserted USB memory device.
The USB memory device is used only for the following purposes:
▪ For data transfer [➙ 26] between the terminal and PC
▪ For saving screenshots
Using SD card
The terminal applications save most data [➙ 26] directly onto the SD card.
In order to exchange data between the terminal and a PC, you will need to proceed differently for
each application. You can find out more about this in the instructions for each application.
Folders on the USB memory device
As soon as you insert the USB memory device into the terminal, several folders will be created on the
USB memory device. You will need to set up other folders by yourself.
Each folder may only contain certain data, so that the applications on the terminal can use this data.
▪ “documents”
– Files: .txt
– Purpose: Records for all completed tasks are saved in this folder.
▪ “FIELDNav”
– Files: .iio, .data
– Purpose: Map material will be saved in this folder.
– The folder will be created when the FIELD-Nav license is activated.
