PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor
Ag Leader Technology Grid
September 2005 4-51
Introduction
To use this feature the PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor must be in Site
Verification Mode. Before gridding, you must have a boundary file for the
field. When using this feature, the entire PFadvantage Cotton Yield Monitor
screen is gridded, but only the grid points inside the boundary will be
displayed. The points are created with a preset name starting with Point 1 in
the northwest corner of the field and ending in the southeast corner of the
field. See example below. The order of points is from west to east, then
south, then east to west, then south. The grid spacing may be set in either
feet or acres. At this time, the grid points may only be shifted as a whole, not
individually.
The PF saves the grid to a *.PFN file. At this time, the PF is the only device
that can create a *.PFN file. Ag Leader Technology is working on an
import/export file to convert *.PFN files to a format that can be used by
mapping software companies. We are also encouraging third party mapping
software companies to support this open format. Contact Ag Leader
Technology for information regarding mapping programs that support *.PFN
grid files.
