A system for generating a map based upon a plurality of operations each including at least one quantitatively measurable task. The system includes a ground engaging drive mechanism, an operating sensor, a position sensor, a visual image display device, and a controller. The controller compares a first operating characteristic to a first operating range, and stores a first failed task and current machine position upon the first operating characteristic of the machine being outside of the first operating range. The controller also compares a second operating characteristic to a second operating range, and stores a second failed task and the current machine position upon the second operating characteristic of the machine being outside of the second operating range. A map of the machine path is displayed including each failed task and its associated machine position while performing the failed task.

System for generating map with instructional tips

The present disclosure is directed toward a computer-readable medium configured with executable instructions for reconfiguring an information management system of a machine. The executable instructions may include providing a configuration file and an executable file for a machine. The executable instructions may also include updating the configuration file in accordance with a modification of the machine, without recompiling the executable file. The executable instructions may further include processing the data received from sensors associated with the machine, based on the executable file and the updated configuration file, in order to generate information management system data.

Method and system for updating an information management system configuration

A machine data acquisition system is disclosed. The data acquisition system may include a sensor disposed on a machine and configured to produce a signal indicative of an operational parameter of the machine. The system may also include a data processor and controller configured to convert the signal into a plurality of parameter data points. The system may further include a primary data circular buffer disposed on the machine and configured to store the plurality of parameter data points. Additionally, a variable resolution circular buffer may be disposed on the machine and configured to store a compressed parameter data point calculated from the plurality of parameter data points.
