|
Typical Plan window | |
When the machine starts work, select an Elevation Design file and a Targets file. The Plan window has a gray background. As the machine works, the color of the holes changes but the background does not change.
Table 1 defines the colors that are used in the Wick Hole Plan window.
| Hole Color | Definition |
|---|---|
| Black | Before work begins |
| Gray | Hole complete |

|
Typical Profile window: The origin (0,0) on the scale is at the boom pin position. | |
In the wick hole application the Profile windows provide a cross-sectional view of the terrain. The profile is viewed either parallel to the machine centerline or perpendicular to the machine centerline.

| Illustration 3 | g03726881 |
|
Typical Grade Plan window (top) and Wick Hole Profile window (lower) | |
The Wick Hole Profile window has a black background. Choose an Elevation Design file, for example "flat-ED" (green line). The Elevation Design file typically shows the elevation at the bottom of the leach pad. Alternatively, the file may show a given surface within the leach pad.

|
Grade Plan window (top) and Wick Hole Profile window (lower) | |
In Illustration 4, the top window is a Grade Plan window, showing the white centerline of the machine. The mark showing the future position of a hole is black.
As the machine moves, the machine records a Current Elevation (CE) file (red line, lower window) showing the current elevation of the boom pin.
The top Grade Plan window shows the following information:
- Completed holes (gray)
- Incomplete holes (black)
- Path of the machine (red - boom pin is above the elevation in the Elevation Design file
- Machine centerline (white)
Table 2 describes a typical color code setup for the Profile window.
| Typical Color Code Setup for a Profile Window | ||
| Trace | Color | Description |

Current Elevation |
Red | Current elevation of the ground |
| ED

Avoidance surface(1) |
Orange | First avoidance surface |
| Peach | Second avoidance surface | |
| Purple | Third avoidance surface | |
| Dark cyan | Fourth avoidance surface | |
| (1) | The color pallet repeats for additional avoidance surfaces. |
In the wick hole application, the office configures Digital windows to display the following information:
T - Local time
N - Northing
E - Easting
Z - Elevation
C/F - Cut/fill distance from implement head to Elevation Design file
The Gauge window shows the position of a guidance point relative to the surface of the Elevation Design file selected as "Prime". Each site decides how the Gauge window is used for wick hole applications.

Typical Target window (1) Mark Target Done toolbar button (2) Create New Target toolbar button | |
The Target window shows how close the implement head is to the target. Use the Target window to access the Mark Target Done (1) and the Create New target (2) toolbar buttons. These buttons do not work in any other windows or floating toolbars.
The Target window displays the following information:
T - Local time
N - Northing
E - Easting
ID - Hole identity number
D - Cut/fill distance from implement head to Elevation Design file
