Select Menu button >> Planter button >> Main softkey.

(A) Target Population Rate (seeds per area).

(B) Seeds per Area for active scan row (Scan mode).

(C) Active Scan Row (Scan mode).

(D) Row number delivering minimum population.

(E) Row number delivering maximum population.

(F) Selected row.

(G) Drive Status Bar: Shows whether meter drives are active or inactive. The status bar is divided into the number of drive sections on the planter. Green is active. Gray is inactive. When a disconnect is selected, the green bar for that drive section turns gray. The meter drives stop, and the population bars turn red as the population drops to zero on the disconnected rows. The status bar turns green again and the Planter-At-A-Glance population bars become active once all rows in the disconnected drive section deliver greater than two seeds per second.

(H) Average population across entire machine (seeds per area).

(I) List boxes contain functional options for the operator to select for display.

(J) Planter Cautions.

(K) Planter-At-A-Glance screen area.

L) Target Population Bar. Bars turn orange when planting above or below alarm set points. Bars turn red when not planting.

(M) Counters and speed are displayed in lower section of screen.

Planter-At-A-Glance Bar Graph: The line in the middle is the target population. When a row approaches the upper or lower alarm limit, the bar for that row turns orange and an alarm sounds along with a text message. If a row falls below two seeds per second, the bar turns red and a row failed warning appears. If ground speed falls below 2 mph (3.2 km/hr), the planter monitor will not calculate population. Field Doc™ as-applied coverage maps will not be created during these conditions. The top of the graph is the programmed upper alarm limit. The bottom of the graph is the programmed lower alarm limit.
