The second home screen

The home screen for a machine without seed sensors — what is on it, how to open and close it, and what its chevrons and tiles do.

This screen was made for a system without seed sensors: a machine where the seeding rate is held by the dispenser electric motors and the panel monitors the main working units. On such a machine the ordinary home screen would be almost empty.

Open it from the home screen with a swipe to the right. Close it with “HOME” or a swipe to the left. It is not part of the circle of working screens, and the panel does not switch to it by itself — even on a machine without seed sensors it starts on the ordinary home screen.

1. Fan. The fan and its speed in rpm.
2. Seed spacing. In seeds per metre.
3. Travel speed. In km/h; yellow while it is simulated. Speed
4. Area. Hectares treated on the active field.
5. Settings symbol. A touch opens the main menu, the same as “MENU”.
6. Red chevrons. A touch takes the outermost motor on that side out of control.
7. Green chevrons. A touch takes the next motor towards that side back into control.
8. Target rate. In thousands of seeds per hectare. Touch and hold it, then swipe up or down to change it.
9. Motor 1. Its number and value; the icon alternates with the state sign — here STOP, the motor is not running.
10. Motor 2. A red × and XXX — no connection; the motor is not driven.
11. Manual lock. The yellow hand: application is locked by hand. Touch and hold it, or hold “HOME”, to lock or unlock.

Each motor icon alternates, about once a second, between the picture of the motor and the sign of its state. In the other blink phase the same screen looks like this — the motors are drawn as motor symbols, and the word “IMITATION” has replaced the speed figure because the speed is simulated:
