7.0 GENERAL PF SETUP
(fig 27)
The calibration and configuration of the Precision Farming components of the RDS Pro-Series
system appear on the General PF Setup menu. The General PF Setup menu is common to all
PS8000 control software modules, therefore some settings may not apply to the spreading
application.
For information on connecting and configuring RDS PF hardware, 3rd party GPS controllers, and
data transfer to PC see the “Precison Farming Supplement”

1. LOGGING INTERVAL
7.1 LOGGING INTERVAL
(fig 28)
It is recommended that you use the default setting of
2 seconds. This should be adequate for variable rate
treatment and yield mapping.
Decreasing the logging interval may effect the
responsiveness of the control system and generate very
large log files, therefore reducing the number of jobs that
can be accomodated on the PCMCIA data card. An
exception is when boundary mapping (where less data
is being generated), you can reduce the logging intervals
to get better definition of the field boundary.
Simply enter the interval value and press enter to confirm.
Although the option of logging by distance is available (using the left/right arrow keys), it is no
longer recommended you do so.
7.2 TAG NAMES
(fig 29)

2. TAG NAMES
While dynamic logging is in progress the operator can
switch ON or OFF any of up to 8 ‘tags’ which effectively
place markers on subsequent yield maps to denote
particular features such as weed patches etc. Each tag
can be named (up to 20 characters) to denote its meaning
on the yield map.
