Abstract
A method of using a touch screen control panel to input and display data to control excavation by an excavator includes the steps of: (1) providing a display panel with a touch-sensitive screen at a position accessible to an operator; (2) inputting data by touching the display panel to define a desired contour of the excavated surface; (3) displaying on the display panel information representing the desired contour of the excavated surface; and (4) controlling movement of the excavator bucket to excavate the desired contour of the excavated surface. The display panel displays a sequence of screens that convey information to the operator and permit the operator to select operational modes and to input data to define the control parameters for the various operational modes.
