12 Serial Rate Control setup Hardi 5500 and 6500
Rates from all channels are recorded in the variable rate logging .dbf file, but the display can send
rates to only one channel at a time: the active channel.
The Tyler Flex-Air controller uses the GPS speed sent by the display.
Operation
Statistics for the active channel are recorded in:
l The Total_Qty value in the variable rate logging .dbf file
l The Avg_Rate field in the EventHistory .dbf file
If you want to use these statistics, start a new event before you change the active channel.
Application width
You can individually configure the widths of the boom sections on the controller. The display draws
coverage logging at the width of the sum of all the boom sections. If you turn boom sections off, the
display varies the width of the coverage polygons according to which boom sections are on.
