Implement Impact Coefficient (from sw: 10.10.x & fw: 2.8.x)

An Implement Impact Coefficient is a tuning parameter used to correct path-tracking errors caused by implement.

When a vehicle pulls or operates an implement—such as a plow, seeder, or sprayer—factors like side slope, soil resistance, implement weight, dynamic hitch play, or trailing drift cause the attached equipment to pull the vehicle slightly off course or lag behind the theoretical trajectory.

The Implement Impact Coefficient acts as a dynamic correction factor. By adjusting this value, the autosteer controller modifies its steering response and path guidance calculation to account for the unique drag and steering influence created by that specific combination of vehicle and implement.

Activating the Feature

Note: The feature can be activated regardless of whether the physical device or controller is currently connected to the application.

Operating the Implement Impact Coefficient

 Adjusting the Parameter

Note: If you keep the same vehicle but select a different implement, the system automatically creates a new pair configuration and resets the coefficient starting value to 0.
