Re: X25 compass calibration issue
From: Topcon Precision Agriculture
Description
X25/AGI-4 firmware is causing “Receiver Disconnect Error” to appear on X25 while trying
to complete a compass calibration.
Symptoms/Units Affected
Units affected are fitted to AGCO machines where the X25 console is connected to serial
port A on the AGI-4. The AGI-4 outputs debug messages on port A when the compass
calibration is started and stopped. This causes a communication issue “Receiver Disconnect” resulting in a compass calibration failed error message being reported to the user
after compass calibration is complete. The affected software is version 3.18.210.
Workaround
The following GRIL command can be utilized to fix the problem on customer machines:
%%set,/par/mc/tp/oport,/dev/null
Solution
Engineering has addressed the issue and it will be corrected in the 4.5Y14 AGI-4 firmware.
Workaround Methods (TRU/X25)
This workaround can be accomplished by connecting a PC to the serial port of the AGI-4
receiver. Connect to the receiver by using TRU to manually send the GRIL command. Use
the diagnostic cable AGA5427 for AGI-4 serial connections. These GRIL commands can
also be executed by entering 3.18 Technician mode on X25.
TRU Software Method
• Once connected through “Receiver Managing”
• Go to “Terminal and type script
%%set,/par/mc/tp/oport,/dev/null
in the bottom of the screen and send
• Then close “Terminal” screen
• Go into “Tools” and complete a “Factory Reset”
(NVRAM Clear)
• Completed
