GLOSSARY
A
Application map
Application maps contain data that can be used to
control an element of an implement. This data includes
application rates or working depths.
Attribute
A shape file contains different values saved in columns
of a table. These table columns are called attributes and
can be individually selected. For example, different
application rates for a product can be saved in a shape
file.
AFD
Automated Field-relatedDocumentation. With the ASD
interface, ASD-compatible data can be imported on the
AMATRON 3. This includes e.g. data from sensors.
Alignment angle
Describes the position of the receiver during installation.
AUX
AUX stands for Auxiliary and refers to an additional input
device, e.g. a multi-function stick.
B
Baud rate
Data transfer rate, measured in bits per second.
C
Correction source
Correction sources are the different systems used to
improve and correct the GPS signal.
Control target
The control target refers to the controllable element of
the implement. On a field sprayer, the spray pressure
controller can be defined as a controllable element,
which then regulates the application rate.
D
DGPS
Differential GPS: Differential global position
determination system. A correction system increases the
precision to +/-0.5 m (0.02 m with RTK).
E
ECU
ECU refers to the implement control that is installed in
the implement. A control terminal can be used to access
the implement controls and operate the implement.
EGNOS
European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service.
European system for satellite navigation correction.
F
Farm Management Information System
A Farm Management Information System, or FMIS, is a
program for managing agricultural operations. Such
programs can be used to manage jobs and master data.
Field boundary
Virtual line on the map of the AMATRON 3. The field
boundary marks an area that can be worked. When a
field boundary has been created, the AMATRON 3 can
calculate the following values:
Field size
Worked area
Remaining area
Firmware
A computer program that is permanently embedded in a
device.
G
GPS
Global positioning system.
GLONASS
Russian global navigation satellite system
