Abstract: An apparatus and method of providing configuration information to an operator of a work machine adapted to be configured for performing a plurality of work functions. Whether the work machine control system is in power up mode is determined. Configuration parameters are read from memory and provided to the operator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method of providing diagnostic information to an operator of a work machine. Whether the work machine control system is in diagnostic messaging mode is determined. At least one diagnostic fault parameter descriptive message is read from a memory. The diagnostic fault parameter descriptive message is provided to the operator. Preferably, diagnostic messaging mode is determined by whether the work machine control system is in service mode and whether the diagnostic text function is selected. Advantageously, a component identification number descriptive message is provided in a first character display and a failure mode indicating number descriptive message is provided in a second character display of an operator interface.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of providing at least one calibration prompt message to an operator of a work machine is disclosed. Whether the work machine control system is in calibration mode is determined. At least one calibration prompt message containing a detailed description of the calibration step to be performed is read from a memory. At least one calibration prompt message is provided to the operator. Preferably, at least one abbreviated calibration routine message is provided to the operator in a text message on a first display and the calibration prompt message is provided to the operator in a scrolling text message across a second display of the user interface.
