Raven Controller (with Serial Port) PFadvantage
Application Rate Mode Ag Leader Technology
September 2003 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 PFadvantage 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 PFadvantage 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.
