Introduction The monitor has its own memory, apart from a memory card, for which it
stores all data (except global positioning system {GPS} data) for all the
fields and loads for an entire year. The memory card is used to save the
logged GPS and yield data for yield mapping. The monitor’s own memory
can hold up to 976 total loads and 255 total fields. The monitor has two
types of internal memory:
•
Main memory
•
Backup memory
Note: If you have a computer with Windows 3.1™ or Windows 95™ or
you are logging data to a memory card, you can print a summary of all the
yield data for the entire season (usually at the end of the year).
Main Memory The main memory is the primary memory that contains all yield data for all
fields and loads. The monitor automatically adds yield data to the main
memory as you harvest. The fields and loads you see on the monitor’s
display are all in the main memory.
Backup Memory The backup memory is secondary memory that is provided to back up yield
data in case the yield data in the main memory is erased or becomes corrupt.
Yield data, as you create new loads and add new data, does not save to the
backup memory automatically; it is saved only to the main memory. You
must manually copy the main memory to the backup memory, otherwise you
will not have a backup copy of your data if you have a system failure.
Copying Main
Memory to Backup
Memory It is extremely important to copy your main memory to the backup
memory at least once a day. Follow these steps to copy the main memory
to the backup memory:
Step Action
1 Press the MEM key until “COPY MEMORY TO BACKUP?”
appears on the display.
