Installing T3RRA Software

There are two main points we would like to address before diving into installing T3RRA software.

  • Make sure you have a good internet connection and your computer has the latest Windows updates installed.
  • T3RRA software is normally installed by your dealer.

Windows & OS maintenance


Requirements:

Windows 10 or 11 (64 bit)


Recommended:

Intel i5 or better processor (manufactured 2021 or newer)

≥ 8GB RAM (more RAM facilitates larger fields)

≥ 256GB HDD

Integrated or better graphics card

Serial port (preferred) or USB port


Windows updates should be performed whenever an error is encountered or a new version of T3RRA software is downloaded. We suggest doing updates and testing software prior to the earthmoving season each year.


Optimizing a tablet for in-cab use (can do during installation utilizing last tab on installer):


  • Adjust Power & Sleep to 'Never' so the tablet will not automatically sleep.
  • Turn off ‘Connect automatically’ when in range for saved networks.
  • Adjust ‘Display Brightness’ level to the highest setting.
  • Turn on ‘Automatically Hide Taskbar’ in tablet and desktop mode.


REMEMBER to update T3RRA software after installation. Best practice is to regularly connect your tablet to the internet at home or in the office to provide adequate time for software updates to occur and successfully install. After completing your earthmoving jobs, update your T3RRA software by opening the Settings’ window, choosing the Application tab, and then clicking on Download Updates.


If you are using antivirus software, help T3RRA run without interference by adding an exclusion for the T3RRA folder for your username. For more information, see T3RRA software will not install in Troubleshooting.


Once you’ve opened up your T3RRA software, you can control whether it starts up with Windows from settings. To change it, go to ‘Settings’, choose the ‘Application’ tab, then the ‘Setup’ tab near the bottom, and select the “Start T3RRA when computer starts” option.

COMMAND machine profiles are used to store all configuration settings for that particular implement including GNSS input selections, valve configuration, calibration and tuning values etc.

Implemented and Tested Machine Profiles

COMMAND currently has the following machine profiles available for selection on the ECU:

Machine Profile Controlled Functions Example Usage
Single Scraper - Height Function 1 - Height A bucket scraper with single proportional height control valve and a single GNSS receiver
Single Scraper - Height & XSlope

Function 1 - Height

Function 2 - XSlope / Tilt

A bucket scraper with a single proportional height and single proportional tilt control valve fitted with a single GNSS receiver and single inertial measurement unit (IMU)
Single Ditcher - Height Function 1 - Height A V-ditcher with a single proportional height control valve and a single GNSS receiver.

Machine Profiles Currently In Testing

Machine profiles listed below are currently under development and may become available in future software releases.

Machine Profile Controlled Functions Example Usage
Single Ditcher - Height & Pitch Function 1 - Height
Function 2 - Pitch

A tile plow with a single proportional height, single proportional pitch control valve, single GNSS receiver and single inertial measurement unit (IMU).

 

Tandem Scrapers - Height

Function 1 - Height 1

Function 2 - Height 2

 

Two bucket scrapers in tandem, each with a single proportional height control valve and single GNSS receiver.
Single Scraper - Dual Height Function 1 - Height A bucket scraper with a single proportional height control valve but two GNSS receivers (One on the  left of the implement, one on the right)
Single Scraper - Height (Dual Cylinder) Function 1 - Height Left
Function 2 - Height Right

A bucket scraper with dual proportional height control valves (controlling left and right height separately), and two GNSS receivers (left and right). Maintains blade angle to allow manual X-Slope / Tilt operation.
Single Scraper - Height & XSlope (Dual Cylinder) Function 1 - Height Left
Function 2 - Height Right
A bucket scraper with dual proportional height control valves (controlling left and right height separately), and two GNSS receivers (left and right).
