Setup Item Description
Record File (.RCD)
The Record file contains the spray trajectory data for a particular product appli-
cation. The Record file contains rate, spray on and spray off data, report data
entered in Report Setup, as well as total boom width information. This file can
be imported into the Fieldware Map Manager program, where an application
report can be generated. Maps of a (.RCD) file are known as As-Applied maps.
Guideline File (.GLN)
The Guideline file contains all information required to reconstruct the guide-
lines created and used during product application. This file can contain multiple
guidelines in any orientation. The Guideline file can be re-used for any spray-
ing campaign. A Single guideline file can be used for all application tasks.
If using a Trimble ABLine, see Importing Trimble ABLines on page 3-31.
Map File (.GMF) A Map file is used to store additional field features that it might be necessary to
locate during product application.
Boundary File (.BND)
The Boundary file allows an existing field boundary to be displayed or a new
field boundary to be created. Mapping the field boundary gives valuable area
information.
Collection Interval
The time interval for writing data to the record file can be adjusted. Typically
this is set at 1 second. If the application requires slow speeds or the RCD file
gets too big too fast, then we recommend that the collection interval be
increased to something greater than 1 second.
Auto Hold
Auto Hold has two options; Center of Full Swath and Ends of Full Swath, each
allows the controller spray activity to be automatically turned off when the vehi-
cle drives over a previously applied area. Center of Full Boom requires that the
center of the boom be in an already applied area. Ends of Full Boom requires
that the left end or, right end be in an already applied area. Both options use
the System Delay to compute the position of the boom.
System Delay
The System Delay is the number of seconds that the ARM program is to look
out in front of the vehicle. Based on the vehicles trajectory and this system
delay value, the Application Rate Management program can determine where
the vehicle is with respect to the prescription map. By looking out in front of the
vehicle, the ARM program can identify the required rate for an upcoming pre-
scription map region and notify the rate controller of any changes. This can
help minimize lag times in the product delivery system when changing product
rates. A value of two seconds is recommended.
