104 / SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
There are two choices available for this option:
NOTE: Depending on the configured
number of rows, some On/Off
pattern settings can result in
erroneous row width or
implement width updates if the
Auto Update Width is enabled.
Always check the calculated
values for accuracy when the
Auto Update Width is enabled.
If the adjusted values are not
correct, disable the Auto
Update Width feature and
manually enter a row width and
implement width.
ENABLED
Row Width and Implement Width settings automatically adjust with ON/OFF
pattern setting changes.
The following two examples use a 16 row planter set for 15.0 inch row
width. Implement width is automatically calculated as 240.0 inches.
Example 1: The On/Off Pattern Setting is changed to every other
row (even rows) OFF. The row width parameter adjusts to 30.0
automatically. The implement width calculated value remains
unaffected at 240.0 inches.
Example 2: The On/Off Pattern Setting is changed to every 3rd row
off. The row width parameter adjusts to 22.5 inches automatically.
The implement width value adjusts to 247.5 inches to
accommodate the new pattern.
DISABLED
The Row Width and Implement Width values will not be adjusted with
changes to the ON/OFF Pattern Setting. Implement Width will not be
automatically calculated and must be manually entered.
IMP WIDTH
Implement Width is the seeding width of the implement in inches
(centimeters) with a resolution of 0.1. This value is used for Total, Field 1/
Field 2 area accumulators only and does not affect seed rate data.
Implement width automatically calculates as described in Auto Update
Width if the feature is enabled. If Auto Update Width is disabled, manually
enter the implement width.
ON/OFF PATTERN
For split, twin, or skip row type seeding implements there are 21 predefined
patterns to configure row patterns. When a row pattern is selected, all of the
rows are automatically turned ON or OFF according to the pattern.
Individual rows in the Row Setup screen can still be manually edited to
Population, Blockage, or Off before or after a pattern is selected. The
pattern setting, when selected, will override previous individual existing row
settings.
