Raven Controller (with Serial Port) PF3000
Application Rate Mode Ag Leader Technology
April 2002 2-46
App Distance From GPS: Set to distance between where
product exits applicator and position of GPS antenna on
vehicle. Example: If spray boom is 20 feet behind GPS
antenna set to 20 feet back. Press DOWN ARROW key to set
feet back, UP ARROW key to set feet forward.
Full Swath: Ignore setting. Swath automatically comes from
serial port of Raven. The swath on the PF automatically
changes as boom sections are turned ON or OFF.
Tgt Units: Contrler Units: Normally set to 1:1.0000. This
ratio is used to convert the units in a target file (.tgt) to the
units of application.
Example: Tgt file in pints/ac of Treflan, Raven applies based
on gallons/ac. If tank mix is 1 pint of Treflan / 10 gallon
water, then set to 1:10.0000. The PF will read the pints/acre
rate out of the tgt file, multiply it by ten to convert it to
gallons/ac and send that rate to the Raven console as the rate
to be applied.
Target Rate Increment: Determines increment value by
which you can change the manual target rate with each press
of Up or Down arrow keys. Choices are 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0,
500.0, 1000.0, 5000.0 or 10000.0.
Actual Rate Scale Factor: This setting is required to prevent
data loss in the log file (YLD file) when the units/sec of
application get above 3. Use the chart below for setting. The
rate actually applied and rate displayed on PF is unaffected by
this setting. When the log file is mapped in Ag Leader's SMS
mapping program, the mapped actual rate will be 1/10
th
of the
real rate if the Actual Rate Scale Factor is 0.100. If it is
0.010, the mapped actual rate will be 1/100
th
the real rate.
The mapped actual rate can be scaled back up in SMS. The
summary actual rate in SMS is unaffected by this setting.
