Pen Delivery List Source
This option sets the source of where RF DataLink will look for
the pen delivery information. From either a bunk reader
program or a mill program. This option will have different
formats in how it will read in the pen delivery information. Be
sure to set this correctly.
Batch Number Included
This option will be used if the third party program sends over
a batch number in the W2T_Pen.dat file.
Timing
The Timing Settings allow you to
optimize the efficiency of the radio
communications
within the RF
DataLink program.
The RF DataLink continuously
searches for Mixers. To optimize
this process you can take into
consideration the time required for a
Mixer to service the pens.
Example: It takes your operator 10
minutes to load the ration, 5 minutes
to mix and another 5 minutes to
drive to pen 3. That being the case,
you can tell the RF DataLink
program to ignore the Mixer for the
initial 20 minutes that it will take just
to get to the pen.
Setting the Timing
To set the Timing, from the main menu select [Systems], [Defaults], and [Timing].
Enter the pen numbers and the time delay in seconds. In this example, the time delay for
pens 0 to 5 is 5 minutes (60 seconds x 5).
These settings are optional and do not have to be used.
When you have completed your entries, click [Save].
