DAILY DATA COLLECTION
Insuring your data is secure from theft, fire or equipment failure requires a small effort each day to store your data
on a USB flash drive.
Mid-Season Name Changes
During the season, you may wish to delete and add field names or ID names to your scale indicator memory. This
may be done in one of three ways.
Front Panel (GT465)
For a small amount of changes, edit field names and ID names using the VT interface. See pages 14 - 15 to
edit field and ID names. See page 17 to erase accumulator memory.
Virtual Terminal
For a small amount of changes, edit field and ID names using the virtual terminal. See your VT owners’ manual
for information on how to select and edit strings on the VT. To erase accumulator memory follow same
procedure found on page 17.
Upload New Field Names, ID Names and Accumulator Using USB Flash Drive
For a large number of changes, perform the changes on your PC using Grain Tracker
TM
software and then
transfer the new information to the indicator using a USB flash drive.
Before doing this, transfer your existing field accumulator data from the indicator to the USB flash drive and
onto your PC. This keeps the proper accumulator values on partially finished fields.
Modify Field Names And ID
Using Grain Tracker™ software:
1. Upload data records from USB flash drive to the PC.
2. Delete field names that are already finished and clear their accumulators.
3. Add new field names as needed.
4. Transfer the new field names, accumulators and ID names onto the USB flash drive.
NOTE: To upload data to indicator, you must first create data files with field names, ID names and accumulator
values using Grain Tracker™ software.
