System Introduction
RMS-EXT on the Legacy 6000 is the real-time data logging component of the Roadway Manage-
ment System. RMS-EXT combines rate controller data with vehicle positions generated from an on
board Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, and produces an "as applied" map of the vehi-
cle’s activity during a spraying session. EXT (External) means that this version of RMS for the Leg-
acy 6000 does not require the Mid-Tech CAN Bus product control system to operate. The Legacy
6000 with RMS-EXT is an excellent replacement for the laptop found in many cabs today.
RMS-EXT requires that all necessary information related to personnel, vehicle, vehicle spray con-
figuration, and chemicals, be entered into their respective Profiles (see the User’s Guide for RMS
Office). Profiles can only be created in RMS Office, and then exported to the Legacy 6000 and
RMS-EXT. To setup RMS-EXT, select information from each profile category, as well as chemical
to tanks assignment, weather data, and base map coverage of the area that the session covers.
RMS-EXT also includes a Mapper field mapping program that allows the mapping of roadways,
railroads, power-lines, weed types, and infestations, as well as any other field features that are
important for the road side spraying tasks (see “Chapter 5 - RMS Mapper”).
