Ground Speed Sensor: Set primary speed sensor to SERIAL.
The monitor will get ground speed from the serial cable
connection to the Hiniker 8605. Leave the secondary speed
sensor set to WHEEL and do not change the Speed Sensor
Pulses/100 ft. Also do not perform a distance calibration using
wheel selection. No calibration is needed when primary speed is
set to SERIAL.

NOTE: If you have an older Hiniker 8605 (before 2000
model year), SERIAL will not be an option if the Hiniker
Software version is before 2.03 version. If so, set to GPS.

App Distance From GPS: Set to distance between where product
exits applicator and position of GPS antenna on vehicle. Example:
If the 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 the 8605 controller. 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, 8605 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 8605
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. For applying fertilizer or liquid use 1.0
or 10.0.

Actual Rate Scale Factor: Set to 1.000.
