COLOR TOUCH SCREEN

The display features a color touch screen display. The touch screen allows easy and intuitive navigation
through the screens on the display without the need for any external keypad or mouse devices. Here are
a few key things to remember if you are new to using a touch screen device:

• Do not use any sharp objects fo r running the touch screen device, this could result in damage to the

made specifically for cleaning computer displays is the correct wa y to clean the screen and the
enclosure.

common mistake is to try to navigate too quickly through the system using firm taps instead of gentle
presses.

ANAGEMENT

Events are used to track field operations. New events can be created at anytime and therefore a
physical field can be broken into many events or recorded under one.

An event contains all coverage maps created while that event was active. Events are automatically
named by date and time.

The display can be run in two different modes:
Traditional mode: requires user to specify a Grower, Farm, and Field for the Event. The display

associates this information with setup files and logged data. When these files are reviewed or utilized in
the future, it provides the operator with a greater depth of information.

Events Only mode: minimizes the setup process so that the display is ready to run in the field with the
least amount of setup (just a few button presses).
