TARGET RATE

Target Rate establishes the desired rate of application in KS (thousand)
seeds per acre or (KS/Ha).

MAX RATE

Maximum Rate establishes the maximum application rate in KS (thousand)
seeds per acre or (KS/Ha) that the control will allow. Target Rate cannot be
incremented to a value greater than this established Max Rate.

MIN RATE

Minimum Rate establishes the minimum application rate in KS (thousand)
seeds per acre or (KS/Ha) that the control will allow. Target Rate cannot be
decremented to a value lower than this established Min Rate.

INC/DEC %

The Increment/Decrement percent rate establishes the percentage of
change of the entered target rate that is applied each time the Material
Increment/Decrement
button is pressed on the Main Work Screen.

IMPORTANT: The Maximum or Minimum Rates may not be reached if

the % increase or decrease, based off the Target Rate,
exceeds the maximum or minimum rate limits set.

EXAMPLE: Maximum Rate is set for 101. Target Rate is set for 100. If the
% increase is set at 2%, the maximum rate of 101 will not be met because
the % increase of 2% would exceed the 101 maximum rate limit.
