Abstract
A loss sensor calibration system detects a calibration trigger and measures a distance of travel of a harvester. When the harvester is stopped, the loss sensor calibration system generates an output indicative of a location where a manual loss measurement is to be taken for harvested material loss, relative to the harvester. The loss sensor calibration system generates a measured value input actuator that can be actuated by an operator to input the measured loss value. The loss sensor calibration system generates a scale factor based upon the measured value and applies the scale factor to a sensor signal generated by a material loss sensor to obtain a scaled sensor signal. A control system generates control signals based upon the scaled sensor signal.
