1. Population Monitor rate does not match GP Controller Console

• Make certain that SiteMate and GP Controller Console agree. If not, see Troubleshooting

Step 4 above.

• Re-check GP calibration number with metering wheel and row spacing.

• Re-check planter monitor settings: calibration number, row spacing, number of rows, swath

width, seed, etc.

• On small seeds and/or high rates, if population monitor consistently indicated a lower popu-

lation than the GP Controller Console, contact monitor manufacturer for performance specs

for that application.

2. GPS signal is not being received by SiteMate

• Verify that GPS serial port (which is also the docking port) is not set to PC connection only

(Start/Settings/Communications/PC Connections).

• Check GPS settings in Configure/Settings/GPS settings/COM (typically COM 1, 4800 Baud,

8 data bits, Parity None, and Stop Bits 1).

• Click Data tab to view GPS details.
