Glossary

Application maps contain data that can be used to control an element of an implement. This data includes application rates or working depths.

AUX stands for Auxiliary and refers to an additional input device, e.g. a multi-function stick.

Data transfer rate, measured in bits per second.

The boom designates a group of part-width sections.

Correction sources are the different systems used to improve and correct the GPS signal.

ECU refers to the implement control that is installed in the implement. The implement control can be accessed using control terminals to operate the implement.

European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service. European system for satellite navigation correction.

A Farm Management Information System, or FMIS for short, is a program for managing agricultural operations. Such programs can be used to manage jobs and master data.

A computer program that is permanently embedded in a device.

Russian global navigation satellite system

GPS drift is defined as the deviations of the GPS signal that result from the use of correction sources with low precision. GPS drift can be recognised when the vehicle symbol on the control terminal no longer corresponds to the actual position of the vehicle.

Horizontal Dilution of Precision, measurement for the precision of the horizontal position data (longitude and latitude) that is sent by the satellites.

Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation. Japanese system for satellite navigation correction.

Designates the option of transmitting setpoits to multiple setpoint receivers on the implement.

Designates the option of switching multiple booms on the implement via part-width section control.

Designates the option of transmitting setpoints from an application map to multiple setpoint receivers on the implement.

Paid system for the correction of satellite data.

The setpoint receiver refers to the controllable element of the implement. On a field sprayer, the spray pressure controller can be defined as a controllable element, which then regulates the application rate.

The shape file saves geometry information and attribute information in a data set. The geometry information forms shapes that can be used as boundary lines. The attribute information is required for the applications, e.g. to control the application rate. The shape file is in ".shp" format.

The TASKDATA.XML is a file that contains data on the jobs.

The Universal Terminal can be used to display the user interface of the ECU on the control terminal.
