How to export a Case IH or New Holland Voyager PRD Prescription file.
Follow these steps to export a Voyager PRD prescription file:
1. The first step is to make sure that you already have or can export a Voyager *.CNH Setup to your PCMCIA
card or drive. The Voyager prescription file(s) and folder must be placed inside the *.CNH folder for the
display to recognize and use them. So if you do not already have a *.CNH folder on your PCMCIA card
please go to the Device Setup Utility under the Tools Menu and export a Voyager Setup card.
2. Now select a prescription dataset from the Management Tree to create a Voyager PRD file from and
highlight it or select a prescription dataset layer on the active map.
3. Go to the File menu and select Export. The Select an Export Method... dialog will now appear.
4. Select the Export Single File to a Field Display/Monitor button and then click the Start...button.
5. Now select either Case IH or New Holland file group buttons and then the *.PRD file format option from the
list of available formats. Click the Export... button.
6. The Voyager Prescription Settings dialog will now appear. The Prescription and Product names should be
filled in based on the management information for the selected dataset but these names can be edited. A
Prescription Name is required to create the export file, and will be displayed on the device to identify the
prescription file so make sure to name it something you can understand. Enter a default rate as well for
situations where the system might have to revert to use of a default rate versus rates from the prescription.
The Application Type should automatically default appropriately but check to make sure it is set to the
appropriate type for the prescription that you are exporting. Once all the required settings have been made,
click OK.
7. The Export Preview dialog will now be displayed and show what your prescription dataset(s) looks like.
Some changes to the dataset may occur due to the complexity of the export dataset and the device
restrictions for prescription files. Click OK to continue on.
8. The Browse For Folder dialog will now appear. Select the location of your *.CNH folder to save the Voyager
prescription file and folder it is stored in to. Remember that saving the Voyager PRD prescription file and the
folder that it is contained in (PRESC folder) to any location other than inside the *.CNH folder will mean that
the Universal Display Plus will not be able to find or use the prescription file(s). The PRD prescription file(s)
must be located inside the PRESC folder which then must be placed in the root of a *.CNH folder.
9. Click OK to save the Voyager prescription file to the selected location.
