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
H
HDOP
Horizontal Dilution of Precision: Measurement for the
precision of the horizontal position data (latitude and
longitude) that is sent by the satellites.
M
MSAS
Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation. Japanese
system for satellite navigation correction.
Master data
The master data includes the following data,
amongst others:
Data on the customer, farms and workers
Data on the fields
Data on the vehicles and implements
Data on the track lines
R
RTK
Paid system for the correction of satellite data.
S
shape file
The shape file saves geometry information and
attribute information in a data set. The geometry
information forms shapes that can be used as
boundary lines. The attribute information is required
for the applications, e.g. to control the application
rate. The shape file is in ".shp" format.
T
TASKDATA.XML
The TASKDATA.XML is a file that contains data on
the jobs.
U
Universal Terminal (UT)
The Universal Terminal can be used to display the
user interface of the ECU on the AMATRON 3.
