(Yield) Maps - StellarSupport - John Deere

Using the PC Card
Data is transferred between the GreenStar Mobile Processor and your computer via a
PC Card. After saving your Setup data to the PC Card, insert it into the Mobile Processor.
When you start the machine, all of the Setup information will be available on the GreenStar
Display.
Note: Setup data is the only information that is saved to a PC Card when
File>Save to PC Card is selected. Report and field map data can be saved to
a card during the export process (page 282 and pages 244-247, respectively);
if you want to save all of your data to a card, you must use the Backup function
(page 16).
When you are done working in the field, remove the PC Card and return it to your personal
computer where you will unload the data to view your reports and maps. Verify that the
General Preferences tab has the correct drive letter designated for the PC Card drive.
During the unload procedure, the raw data is converted, adjustments from the Preferences
settings are made, and new files are created for the maps. The raw files - with the applied
edit changes - are automatically copied to an archive directory on your computer’s hard
drive.
Within the farm folder, there will be a folder for each field that data was unloaded for. There
can be multiple files that represent multiple years and multiple crops that have been
processed. If any of the data was altered on the Edit Data Files screen, the archive data
will reflect these changes. Do not delete the files from the archive directory.
All data files are unloaded into the year that is saved in the file - not according to the
processing year that is active. If you want to unload the data in a year other than that which
is recorded in the file, you can change it on the Edit Data Files screen (refer to page 113
for details).
If you used Undefined as a selection on the GreenStar Display, refer to “Unload Unknown
Farms or Fields” on page 113.
To make room on the PC Card after unloading the data files, refer to “Cleanup the PC
Card” on page 147.

1. Place the PC Card in the PCMCIA card reader.
2. From the Startup screen, click on the PC Card icon.
