Abstract:
A machine orientation display may be displayed by an operator display device in an operator station of a machine. The machine orientation display may include a field area, a horizontal reference displayed on the field area, a machine orientation indicator displayed on the field area and positioned and oriented relative to the horizontal reference to graphically indicate a machine orientation of the machine relative to a work surface on which the machine is disposed. The machine orientation display may further include an implement orientation indicator displayed on the field area and positioned and oriented relative to the horizontal reference and the machine orientation indicator to graphically indicate an implement orientation of an implement of the machine. The implement is movable relative to a machine body of the machine and to the work surface.
