About antenna Offset

The antenna offset should be + when my antenna is on the right of axis center, right?

If you look carefully u can see + and - in bright blue. Plus being on bottom of image and minus on top and answare to your question YES.

That graphic caused enough confusion that it was changed in the newer versions. In 6.x.x, it is very clear.

In 6.x.x, it’s - when selecting Right. It’s opposite to 5.7.2 which I’m using. So should I choose “Left” after updating to 6.x.x? It’s confused.

You said your antenna is to the right from the center line. Why is it confusing to tick “to the right of the center line” in version 6.x.x?

If it is confusing, why not install the antenna to the center line and select center, problem solved?

In new version number is always positive, the math behind changes when selecting right or left (compared to 5.7) so if it was to the right before and you set +10 you must select right.
And then just check if tractor go above centre line (drive on same tracks) in both directions, else you got it set wrong :smiley:

I feel confused because the value Antenna Offset is 0.1 in V5.7 but it’s -0.1 in V6.x when select Right.
My antenna cannot be installed in the center of my tractor.

Well in 6.7 beta 2 I se no sign in front of number. So perhaps something that is imported from 5.7 ?
Then adapt to the new version (put no prefix in front of number) and recheck as pointed out just before.
It even said Error if I try to ad negative sign!
(After pressing green sign button down right in number input box)
Also 0.1 is not much, as we talk centimeters here!

Yes, the configuration is from 5.7 that the offset is 10cm (0.1m), But when I update to V6.x, the Left button is green. So I click Right because antenna is on the right. I can see the value is changed to -0.1 from “View All Settings”.

Get your point now, see -0.1 when 10 cm put in right offset. And 0.2 when 20 cm in left offset.
Cannot come up with other explanation than , that is the way the math need the number.
Could be program calculate correct line to be 10 cm to left of antenna?
Or maybe one of the programmes changed the calculation by adding or removing a times negative somewhere?

It’s not on the line with 10cm offset in V5.7.
I’ll try with V6.7 and set Right.
