High Alarm example:
If the Target Rate is 100.0 and the High Alarm is 5.0%, multiply 100.0 x 1.05
(a 5% increase) = 105.0. The alarm will activate at this population.
Low Alarm example:
If the Target Rate is 100.0 and the Low Alarm is 5.0%, multiply 100.0 x.95
(a 5% decrease) = 95.0. The alarm will activate at this population.
ROW WIDTH
Row Width is used for seed rate data and control calculations and is the
distance in inches (centimeters) between rows with a resolution of 0.1. This
value updates automatically with changes in the On/Off Pattern Setting
option if the Auto Update Width option is set to Enabled.
IMPORTANT: Row Width and On/Off Patterns can be set at the Material
Setup screen or the Row I/O screen. The system will use
the last entered constants from either screen. However,
it is recommended that patterns are set for each material
at the Material Setup screen.
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.
ROW FAIL RATE
The Row Fail Rate value sets the threshold for Row Failure alarms. The
value is entered in seeds per second. Both values are adjustable, allowing
for numerous combinations. The default value is 2/1, which indicates a row
failure threshold of 2 seeds in 1 second.
