Abstract
A portable system for testing or demonstrating an agricultural implement includes a case (104) carrying a power supply (206), a plurality of electrical couplers (120) configured to receive wiring harnesses associated with test devices, a simulator module (214) configured to simulate at least one operating parameter of the agricultural implement on which test devices are carried, and a control system. The control system includes a graphical user interface (110) and processing circuitry operably electrically coupled to the graphical user interface (110) and to the wiring harnesses. The processing circuitry is configured to monitor and display information pertaining to operation of the test devices. A method for testing or demonstrating an agricultural implement includes connecting a test device an electrical coupler of the portable system, sending a control signal to the test device, and monitoring performance of the test device with the control system. The control signal is based at least in part on the data input.
