GLOSSARY
A
Application map
Application maps contain data that can be used to
control an element of an implement. This data includes
application rates or working depths.
Attribute
A shape file contains different values saved in columns
of a table. These table columns are called attributes and
can be individually selected. For example, different
application rates for a product can be saved in a shape
file.
Alignment angle
Describes the position of the receiver during installation.
AUX
AUX stands for Auxiliary and refers to an additional
input device, e.g. a multi-function stick.
B
Baud rate
Data transfer rate, measured in bits per second.
Boundary line
Virtual line on the map on the AMAPAD. Boundary lines
are used to mark an area, which can then be defined as
a work area or an exclusion area.
C
Correction source
Correction sources are the different systems used to
improve and correct the GPS signal.
Control parameter
The control target 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.
E
ECU
ECU refers to the implement control that is installed in
the implement. The implement control can be accessed
using control panels to operate the implement.
EGNOS
European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service.
European system for satellite navigation correction.
F
Farm Management Information System
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.
Firmware
A computer program that is permanently embedded in a
device.
G
GPS drift
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 AMAPAD no longer corresponds to the
actual position of the vehicle.
GLONASS
Russian global navigation satellite system
H
HDOP
(Horizontal Dilution of Precision) Measurement for the
precision of the horizontal position data (longitude and
latitude) that is sent by the satellites.
