Managing Information on
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
Four groups of information are “stored in” or “recorded by”
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
Trims and Calibration of Spreader Hardware
: these settings are chosen after installation in a
truck and are the coordinated result of the interaction between the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
and the
hydraulics system it is paired with.
This data is stored on the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
CPU and is
download-able and upload-able using the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
connected to a Laptop PC.
System Set Up (Operating Parameters)
: these settings are selected by the installer, the site
supervisor or (in some cases) by the operator and determine the manner in which the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
operates. This data is stored on the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
CPU and is
download-able and upload-able using the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
serial port connected to a Laptop
PC. (Note: 1 & 2 are stored, uploaded or downloaded as a single file).
Storm and Season Totals
: this function records the amount of material distributed for each
named material. This data is recorded and is downloadable via serial connection to a laptop PC.
Spreading Performance Report
: this data is the record of performance and events that occurred
during actual spreading.
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
records this continuously and then stores it on the
SD bulk data storage card at a settable rate. SD stored data is download-able using the
SpreadSmart Rx
TM
wired or wireless data transfer options (see optional equipment).
