We recommended that you read this user’s guide prior to using the SmartPad II product. This user’s guide
contains the following:
•
Chapter 1, Introduction to SmartPad II, contains a product overview and instructions for installing the
SmartPad II hardware.
•
Chapter 2, Getting Started, gives instructions on how to setup and configure the SmartPad II and soft-
ware.
•
Chapter 3, Real-Time Operation, describes SmartPad II real-time guidance and mapping.

Using the optional CompactFlash data card, SmartPad II can also create and save to the card a vehicle appli-
cation trajectory record file (.RCD). The CompactFlash data card is required to store any data, no data is
stored internally to the SmartPad II. You can also map points and hazards during the real-time guidance pro-
cess. Any data saved to the CompactFlash card can be viewed and printed using MID-TECH Fieldware-
Tools software included as an option with SmartPad II. If a field boundary is not available one can be created
based on the boom width while the operator is spraying or driving the perimeter of the field. Total field area,
in Acres or Hectares, is calculated, as well as total area applied. If a field boundary already exists, possibly
created using the MID-TECH Fieldware - Field Mapping
application, it can be viewed in the background.
