Introduction You can transfer a field/load summary from your monitor to any computer
on which you have a communications and word processing program.
Computers with Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 have these two
types of programs. If you do not have a computer or access to a computer,
call Ag Leader Technology. We will send a memory card to you and will
print your field/load summary for you. Step-by-step instructions are provided
in the following pages for creating a field/load summary with the accessory
programs in Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
Windows 3.1
Introduction The Terminal communications and Write word-processing programs should
be in the Accessories group in the Program Manager window. These are
very basic communications and word processing programs. You do not have
to use them if you have equivalent software that you want to use, such as
Procomm (communications) and Microsoft Word or WordPerfect (word
processing). If you use other software, you should be able to follow the
procedures given below. Simply use the commands corresponding to those
given for Terminal and Write.
Connecting the
Monitor to Your PC Follow these steps to connect the yield monitor to your computer:
(Windows 3.1) Step Action
1 Remove the yield monitor from the combine and use the provided 12
volt DC power supply to turn on the monitor next to your computer.
2 With the monitor off, connect one end of the 6-foot-long cable (with
two, nine-pin connectors) provided with the monitor to the nine-pin
port on the bottom of the monitor.
Note: Monitors with serial numbers greater than 941000 have
voltages on the nine-pin serial port that should not be connected to
your computer. Therefore, use only the special nine-pin to nine-
pin cable (only connects pins 2, 3, and 5) supplied by Ag Leader
Technology. Do not use a standard cable.
