    The numerical value displayed above the indicator shows the current error between the implement position and blocksthe target surface.

      As grading error increases, additional indicator segments illuminate to provide an immediate visual indication of how far the implement is from the target.

      Deadband

      A small deadband surrounds the target elevation to prevent unnecessary indication changes caused by very small measurement variations.

      By default, the deadband is ±1 toocm. low,While within this range the indicator will appear on grade, although the numerical error value continues to display the true measured error.

        When displaying error to the design surface, the indicator uses the current cut/fill colour scheme to show the full design error.
