Tracking system configured to determine a parameter for use in guiding an implement attached to a work machine
First Claim
1. A tracking system employing at least one parameter for use in guiding an implement attached to a work machine, said tracking system comprising:
- a first global positioning system (GPS) receiver mounted on said work machine;
a second GPS receiver mounted on said implement; and
a controller configured to execute program instructions to determine said at least one parameter for use in guiding said implement, including;
directing said work machine along a predetermined path;
obtaining first position data from said first GPS receiver during said directing said work machine;
obtaining second position data from said second GPS receiver during said directing said work machine; and
determining said at least one parameter based on said first position data and said second position data.

Abstract
A tracking system employs at least one parameter for use in guiding an implement attached to a work machine, and includes a first global positioning system (GPS) receiver mounted on the work machine; a second GPS receiver mounted on the implement; and a controller configured to execute program instructions to determine the at least one parameter for use in guiding the implement, including: directing the work machine along a predetermined path; obtaining first position data from the first GPS receiver during the directing the work machine; obtaining second position data from the second GPS receiver during the directing the work machine; and determining the at least one parameter based on the first position data and the second position data.
