English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / Tractor guided by GPS
English term or phrase: on line aggression
A tractor is guided by a GPS, and this is from a list in the software application:

wheel angle sensor
calibration status
max turning angle
approach aggression
on line aggression
steering parameters

Can anybody explain what "on line aggression" means?

Selected answer:how aggressive you want it to stay on line in rough terrain
Explanation:
When the terrain gets undulating the tractor can go off line very quickly, so you set the "on line aggression mode" and the GPS program will read quicker and provide a higher level of Tractor steering performance to maintain it on line with the coordinates set in the GPS.

angle of attack?


Explanation:
You will have to let us know what language the book came from.

This might be something to think about. For a grader with a long horizontal blade, the 'angle of attack' is the angle between the direction of travel and the blade. This is what I would interpret as the "on line aggression" if I HAD to say something. So, if your tractor is moving straight ahead, and the blade is at , say, 45 degrees with respect to the center line of the tractor, then your "angle of attack" would be 45 degrees.

As good a guess as I have at the moment.

Now you have me. I think you are going to have to provide a comment about this in any case. As an English speaker with a pretty good grasp of most things technical, I am at a loss as to what this might be.
Is it perhaps a poor fax or copy and might it be some other word?

Asker: I don't know if English is the original language, but as a whole, it's written in pretty good English anyway.

Asker: I don't think there is any blade into the picture here. It's more about spraying. Picture something like this: http://www.cropcareequipment.com/photos/110_gallon_3pt_sprayers.jpg http://www.hardi.com.au/upload/images/aus/test/eagle%20spc%20spraying%200846_177_446x296.jpg
