Modifying Ration Data
To access the Ration data, from the Process screen, click on Rations or select Rations from
the File menu. This will display the Ration Library screen.
Listed here will be all the loaded rations in the RF DataLink program. Listed are the
following:
Ration – this is the ration code as
assigned
by third party software
program.
Lbs/cu.ft. – this is the pounds per cubic
foot rating of this ration. This value is
set in the third party software program
and is used to determine how large a
load can be placed into your feed mixer.
Ingredient – this lists the individual
ingredients that make up the ration.
Percentage – is the load percentage of
each ingredient.
Type – refers to whether the ingredient
is mill loaded or Mixer loaded.
Modifying rations in the RF DataLink
program should only be done on a short-
term fix basis. Rations should always be
created within third party software. The
ability to change rations is available in the RF DataLink program, as a means of quickly
addressing problems not accounted for prior to the ration being built in third party software.
These problems can be running out of a particular ingredient, having to skip an ingredient
for a feeding, etc.
Any changes made to a ration in the RF DataLink program will be overwritten by third party
software when the next feeding data is sent. This will occur only if the ration has the same
name as the ration you edited.
Note: If you access the ration data from the process screen, the process will be halted until
you are done making your changes.
