Viper 4 Features

The following sections are intended to provide an overview of the Raven Viper 4 capabilities and interface

possibilities.

Raven OS

The Raven Operating Software, or Raven OS, has been designed to assist with the tasks of managing an

implement fleet and multiple equipment operators.

Secure User Login

Multiple user profiles allow the system administrator to set up unique Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) to

secure the application system from unauthorized use. As well as secure access, each user profile may

configure various user preferences such as language and display units to ensure that each operator is

comfortable operating the system.

Widget Based Field Operation Displays

The Raven OS features widget based screens for field operation and guidance. The operator may select from

various widgets to customize the information displayed on the screen during field operations and may

customize the widget layout to keep important operation information or operation tools available at a glance.

Each screen profile may be saved and recalled quickly to view additional information as necessary or as

different tasks become more critical for the field operation.

Note: Refer to the Raven Operating Software (ROS) Basic Operation Manual for additional information

about creating, saving, and using screen widget profiles.

Machine Configurations

Machine Configurations allow the system administrator to configure multiple machine profiles. As the Raven

OS device is moved from implement to implement, the device will automatically detect the machine

configuration for the implement on which the device is currently running to simplify set up and preparations for

field operations.

Product Configurations and Job Profiles

Preconfigured product configurations and job profiles allow the system administrator to set up product and job

information and allow the operator to quickly select the product loaded and the job or operation to perform to

begin field work.

The system administrator may view and use the above information from the job report to make administrative

decisions required with as much information as needed for the specific operation.

Note: Please review the Raven Operating Software (ROS) Basic Operation Manual for details on setting

up user and job profiles or equipment and product configurations.

Manual No. 016-0171-559 Rev. A 5

Viper 4 Introduction

Enclosed Display

The Viper 4 enclosure is designed to resist the conditions experienced in the field to help ensure that the field

computer is ready to operate when you are. The enclosed case design provides dust and splash resistance,

even in open or exposed cabin vehicles and tractors. The lightweight magnesium alloy provides excellent heat

transfer properties to keep the Viper 4 operating efficiently, even in direct sunlight.

Note: The case is designed to allow a small air gap 1/8 inch [3 mm] between the mounting bracket and

the case to allow air flow over the case cooling fins. Do not seal or obstruct this air gap, or

otherwise modify the case.

It is normal for the case to become warm to the touch while the Viper 4 is in operation.

Touch Screen

Transflective screen technology provides clear screen visibility across a range of lighting conditions and even

in direct sunlight. Touch screen functionality places menus and options literally at the operator’s finger tips. A

12.1 in. [30.7 cm] high resolution display provides a large viewing area and easy to read displays to allow the

operator to quickly reference information during in field operations.

Two and Three Dimensional Field Operation Views

During field operations, the Viper 4 provides either a two or three dimensional view of the equipment location

within the field area. The Raven OS is capable of providing swath guidance for the configured equipment using

the configured equipment geometry to assist the operator and keep the equipment on track during the field

operation.

Note: Swath guidance may also be used by automated steering systems such as Raven SmarTrax to

automatically steer the equipment onto the displayed swath guidance line. These systems are

available to help reduce operator fatigue and can allow the operator to monitor various input or

application systems during the field operation.

Contact a local Raven dealer for additional information about automated steering systems

available for use with the Raven Viper 4.

On-Screen Mapping and Job Reporting

During field operations, the Viper 4 monitors and tracks the vehicle location and records input or application

systems. As active sections or the working equipment width covers field area, the Viper 4 creates a live map of

previous equipment coverage. When the job is complete, the Viper 4 compiles the location and any population,

rate, or yield information into a report file for transfer to a home or office computer. The reports may be edited

and used for customer billing, tracking product input or application for governmental agencies or environmental

purposes, or to help plan future crop inputs and field operations.

Job reports must be transferred to a Slingshot user account via either a Slingshot Field Hub™ or a USB flash

drive. The Slingshot web service is free and does not require any hardware or monthly subscriptions to utilize

the reporting features of the web site. With a Slingshot Field Hub, files may be transferred from the home or

office to the equipment in the field and completed job reports may be transferred back to the home or office via

a wireless network connection.

switch to green.

Light Sensor. The light sensor will automatically adjust the screen brightness for ambient light conditions and

set user preferences. Refer to the Raven Operating Software (ROS) Basic Operation Manual for more

information on user preferences and screen settings.

Integrated DGPS Receiver Option

The Viper 4™ is available with either of the following options:

•Viper 4 base unit without an integrated DGPS solution (P/N 063-0173-410),

•Viper 4 with integrated, scalable dual frequency DGPS receiver (P/N 063-0173-409).

These configurations allow the Viper 4 to be integrated into existing precision agriculture systems or installed

as the first building block for equipping a precision agriculture solution your current operations.

The Viper 4 with an integrated DGPS receiver provides the in-cabin components necessary to start adding

precision agriculture tools into a few implements in the machine shed or an entire fleet. With an integrated

DGPS receiver, the Viper 4 may be quickly transferred between tractors, applicators, swathers, and harvesters

for use throughout the growing season.

Whether equipped with an integrated DGPS receiver or not, the Viper 4 may be integrated into machines with

existing DGPS solutions to utilize or enhance existing DGPS equipment already in the vehicle cabin.

Note: Review the installation information provided with any external DGPS equipment to install and

connect the Viper 4.

When used with an external DGPS receiver, the internal receiver will not be used during field

operations. If the external receiver stops providing signal during the field operation, the internal

DGPS receiver may be enabled to allow operations to continue.
