Main Menu presents the following options:  

1.  Screen Backlight. This option allows modifying backlight intensity. Diminish the bright while on a job 

at night and increase it at day in order to have a better visualization (Page 16). 

2.  Speed Limit. If this value is exceeded on a job, an alarm will go off (Page 23).  

3.  Settings Profile. It  allows recovering  a  setting profile saved at the installation moment. (Fine crop  or 

coarse crop setting) (Page 16). 

4.  Installer’s  Options.  It  presents  the  options  that  must  be  configurated  at  the  installation  moment. 

(Details in Installation and Technical Assistance Manual). 

5.  MONITOR.  This  option  groups  the  functions  specially  related  to  seed  and/or  fertilization  monitoring. 

(Seed  and  tolerance  density  configuration;  enabling/disabling  of  densities,  fertilization  section,  a 
particular sensor monitoring; or do a sensor testing).    

6.  DISPENSER. This option groups the functions of VRA system (selection of automatic rate prescription, 

rate’s group  programming for  automatic  rate,  dispenser calibration,  and copy prescriptions from pen-
drive onto SD card). 

7.  JOB  REGISTER. This  register  displays  information  about  the  job  done  on  plot  and  in  total;  it  allows 

deleting those data and modifying its number or reference. It also allows enabling or disabling mapping 
and coping mapping data from SD card to pen-drive (Page 17). 

Select “Exit Menu” option to leave Main Menu and return to Job Main Screen.  

The user can go forwards and backwards for the different computer’s menus selecting the desired options and 
pressing “Back” every time that you want to return to a previous screen.
