JDOffice 1.2<br />

in Farm/Field Setup will be displayed. Using the Current Farm and Current<br />

Field drop-down boxes, you can select another field from the same farm or<br />

from a different farm.<br />

After selecting a field, you can right-click the mouse to see a list of commands.<br />

Those listed are the same as you would find under the Tools>Field menu, or<br />

by using the command buttons at the top of the screen.<br />

Note: When you move any tool over a field map, the longitude and<br />

latitude of that tool’s position in the field will display at the bottom<br />

of the screen.<br />

Most of the field maps within JDOffice can be divided into one of two<br />

categories: point maps or contour maps.<br />

All data is collected by the field equipment at a minimum of one-second<br />

intervals. Point maps display this data using individual colored points which<br />

represents a two-second interval. Contour maps average the data in the<br />

corresponding point maps, and display the results as uniform, solid areas of<br />

color. The shape of the contour field is dependent on the crop boundary - the<br />

field is “cookie cut” to the shape of the boundary.<br />

Some maps - such as yield or tillage, can be viewed as both a point or contour<br />

map; others - such as elevation maps, can only be viewed as a contour map.<br />

A description of each field map can be found in this chapter.<br />

In addition to the different types of field maps, you can have multiple layers<br />

interspersed with different years of data. For example, you can have a 1999<br />

outlined elevation contour map layered on top of a 2002 pesticide point map.<br />

The current processing year (as set on the Dates Preferences tab, or on the<br />

year spinner) does not control the year of data that you are able to view on the<br />

field map; data from any year can be viewed at any time.<br />
