Insight to control the target rate, but want it to record the actual rate from a channel,
set the channel switch on Mid-Tech to “ON” or “Standard” (exception: on Ag Logix,
Insight can not receive actual rate without controlling target rate)

Configuration Settings

Additional settings may be necessary for proper operation. Highlight
the desired configuration from the Configuration Window and press
the CONFIGURATION SETTINGS button to adjust these settings.

Many of these settings have already been set through the
wizard. New settings include:
Target Rate Outside Field: (Only pertains to .tgt files)

Set to ZERO if you want the rate outside the field to be zero.
Set to USE LAST if you want the rate to be the last rate used
at the time the vehicle is detected outside the field. This is
useful when experiencing problems with the vehicle being
falsely detected outside of the field during the outside pass.

to be the default rate stored in the target rate file.
