PF3000 Pro Gridding
Ag Leader Technology Site Verification Mode
July 2003 4-77
Introduction
To use this feature the PF3000 Pro must be in Site Verification Mode.
Before gridding, you must have a boundary file for the field. When using this
feature, the entire PF3000 Pro screen is gridded, but only the grid points
inside the boundary will be displayed. The points are created with a preset
name starting with Point 1 in the northwest corner of the field and ending in
the southeast corner of the field. See example below. The order of points is
from west to east, then south, then east to west, then south. The grid spacing
may be set in either feet or acres. At this time, the grid points may only be
shifted as a whole, not individually.
The PF saves the grid to a *.PFN file. At this time, the PF is the only device
that can create a *.PFN file. Ag Leader Technology is working on an
import/export file to convert *.PFN files to a format that can be used by
mapping software companies. We are also encouraging third party mapping
software companies to support this open format. Contact Ag Leader
Technology for information regarding mapping programs that support *.PFN
grid files.
