Unload Yield Options
The unload yield options provide more mapping control with the software. The start and
end of pass delays and counting zero grain flow have a dual purpose: set one way they
eliminate low yield points (yellow points - unless a color scheme is used) and improve the
appearance of the maps - set the opposite way they ensure the acreage very closely
matches that on the GreenStar Display.
The start and end of pass delays refer to the number of seconds of data that are
recorded in the combine, but not displayed on your maps. These delays are needed at the
start of the pass because most operators lower the header prior to entering the crop. At
the end of the pass, most operators raise the header a few seconds after coming out of the
stand. Setting the start and end of pass delays to match your driving practices helps avoid
low yield spots on your maps where you are driving over areas that have already been
harvested, or do not contain crop.
The delay values range in time from 0 to 4 seconds (2 is the default). If a larger amount of
time is needed, adjustments can be made in the combine to compensate.
Zero grain flow refers to the absence of yield hitting the mass flow sensor in the combine.
When this option is turned off, you are eliminating yield sites on your maps where you are
potentially driving over an area that has already been harvested. When this option is
checked, all yield sites covered while the header is down (regardless of yield) are being
mapped.
Note: If you alter either option after you unload your data, the changes will not
affect your maps unless you reprocess the raw data by unloading it from the
archive.
Three Outcomes Available Depending on Options Set
I. Accurate acreage correlation between JDOffice and the GreenStar Display (allow for
rounding). Although you will have matching acreages, your map may have more low yield
