JDOffice 1.2
Write a Prescription
A prescription is a written direction, based on an application plan, of how you
are going to apply products to your field. These products include seeds,
fertilizers, pesticides, or a tank mix. The prescription is then saved to the PC
Card to be used by the implement. As a reminder, the application plan will have
(Rx Created) next to it in the Layers chooser.
All of the area within the field boundary must have a rate assigned to it (even if
it is zero) on the application plan in order to write a prescription. If you are
missing any rates, JDOffice will warn you when you try to write a prescription.
If there are areas of your application plan that you do not want a rate assigned
to, draw a rectangle around your entire field. Set the rate of this polygon to
zero, and send it to the very bottom of the layers. If you continue to get this
warning and you think all areas have an assigned rate, double check by
unchecking View (Layers chooser) for all layers except the application plan
and the field boundary. Most likely you will see the area you have overlooked.
The Setup data for the client for whom this prescription is being written, must
be saved to the PC Card prior to saving the prescription to the card. If it is not,
you will be prompted to execute the Save to PC Card before you can continue.
JDOffice will also verify that the clients match.
The PC Card must be in the computer prior to saving. JDOffice will warn you if
it isn’t there; it will also terminate the command.
Write a prescription:
1. Create an application plan (refer to page 210).
2. Click Layers .
3. Select Edit for the application plan layer.
4. Click Write Rx .
5. The Prescription Name will default to the Plan
Name. Enter a new name if this will not be clear to
the operator.
6. In Default Rate, enter the rate to be used if you
lose GPS, or drive outside the prescribed
boundary.
7. Click OK. The prescription is automatically saved to the PC Card.
Note: Once you write a prescription, neither the application plan on
which it was based, or the prescription itself can be altered.
However, you can make a copy of that plan and edit it.
