Measure Mode

Measure mode enables you to measure the distance and slope between two points. After you place the attachment cutting edge over an initial point, the system then displays any deviation from this point in terms of horizontal reach, elevation and slope.

You can save the slope and depth values into the mainfall and offset memories.

The type of system you have and the mode you are in determines whether you can rotate the cab or move the machine tracks.

Mode Can rotate the cab Can move the machine tracks
Depth and Slope mode No No
Depth and slope mode, plus heading sensor Yes No
Design mode, plus two GNSS receivers Yes Yes

Position the machine

Select the origin point:

  • Within reach of both your origin point and the end point that you want to measure to.

  • Unless the system uses a heading sensor or GNSS receivers, do not rotate the cab or re‑position the machine tracks to reach the end point.

    Keep the orientation of the front linkage consistent when you take the measurement.

Using the Measure mode screen

Once you have positioned your machine, access the Measure Mode screen:

  1. Tap the Work Settings icon in the shortcut bar. The Work Settings menu opens.
  2. Select Measure Mode.
  3. Check that the correct position of guidance focus has been selected for the attachment.
  4. If you have a static swing boom, select the swing boom position.
  5. Place the attachment focus on the start point of the measurement.

  6. Tap Origin.

    If required, you can save the slope and depth values into the mainfall and offset memories.

  7. Move the attachment focus to the end point of the measurement.

    Once the attachment has moved enough to give a measurable change in position, the screen updates to show the depth and slope measurement between the two points.
