Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | Yes, I agree. I don't know of a way to get the data from one display somewhat permanently melded in with the data in the other display so it would be available for all uses as if that display had planted it all.
What Cyclone is referring to is to use SMS to create a background reference map out of the planting data from both displays. This can even be done with some other displays under certain situations. For example, if a variety map was created when the field was planted with a 20/20, it would be possible to process that data also.
This background reference map can be temporarily loaded into many Ag Leader displays. One common use would be a situation where the field was planted with different planters with Ag Leader displays or certain other acceptable displays.
In a nutshell, it works something like this. The data from one planter display is read into SMS. The data from another planter display is also read into SMS. The combined map is then available in SMS. A background reference map of this data is copied to a USB stick.
Come harvest time, the operator carries the USB stick to the combine and inserts it into the Ag Leader yield monitor. He informs the system he wishes to load in the reference map containing the varieties for that field. The Ag Leader display can then make variety changes etc. as if it had planted the field itself. The variety information is just temporary and is not retained in the combine display.
When the operator goes to a different field, he needs to repeat the process for the background map for that current field. If he returns to a previously partially harvested field, he would need to reload the reference variety map for that field again. |
