3.3 PC PROGRAMME "SPRIMAS VERSION 2.0"
3.3.1 INSTALLATION AND SETUP OF THE PC PROGRAMME
The PC programme must be installed on the PC before the first test is carried out.
From a DOS-prompt and with the supplied disk in either disk drive "A" or "B" (if the
wrong drive is selected type "A:" and press enter or "B:" and press enter). Type
"install" and press enter, the install program will start. Up to three user data can be
input, i.e. "Customer". A customer name can be entered when using the program,
this name will appear on the test results. Select the serial port that the data
transfer cable will be connected to. These settings can be altered during use of the
programme by pressing the F8 key.
3.3.2 THE PC SCREEN
If the carriage is connected to the PC the date & time of the clock in the carriage
will be displayed at the bottom of the PC screen. A finished test is automatically
transferred to the PC, this can be seen on the screen.
3.3.3 ON SCREEN REFERENCES
A list of keys and their function, i.e. change a setting or perform an action, is
shown on the main screen to the left. In the other screens a list of keys with their
functions will be shown on the bottom of the screen.
3.3.4 ENCODING VIA THE KEYS
Pressing the key "Bild" will display a list of the sprayer settings. Check these
settings (working width, spray angle & height) before the test results are
calculated. These settings ensure that only the fully overlapped boom width is
used for the calculations. The test results will be inaccurate if these settings are
incorrect. These encodements can take place both before and after the test.
3.3.5 TRANSFERRING THE WORKING WIDTH
(Only possible when testing the boom as one section) The program item working
width, which is only available when the carriage is connected to the PC ("Transfer
working width to carriage") ensures that the carriage only tests the encoded
working width. This saves time and water as only the fully overlapped working
width is tested, so nozzles with a wide spray angle (i.e. >130
o ) are only tested in
the area that fully overlaps. The transferred width is automatically deleted in the
carriage after 10 minutes. Using this function is optional.
3.3.6 MINMIUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PC
An IBM compatible PC with MS DOS 3.3 or higher. The PC must have a hard disk,
a 3.5" floppy disc drive, a Parallel port for the printer, a serial port for the data
transfer cable, minimum 640 kb memory plus a VGA graphics card.
The printer must be able to print graphics and the system (DOS version, printer
and graphic card must allow for the "Print Screen" function to be used).
