The letters on the top left corner of each rate button (E–G) represent the shortcut buttons that are available when using a display control (for more information on a display control, see GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display Operator's Manual).

Rate Based on Volume Per Unit of Area

A rate based on volume per unit of area can be set by choosing one of the items from the rate selection drop-down (H). This rate mode ensures a consistent application rate over an area as working width and machine speed are adjusted.

  • gal/ac (US Units)
  • L/ha (Metric Units)
  • I Gal/ac (Imperial Units)

Map-Based Rates

To run map-based rates, select prescription in GreenStar™ documentation. Map-based only appears in the drop-down if a prescription is selected.

Rates Based on Flow

A rate based on flow can be set by choosing one of the items from the rate selection drop-down (H). This rate mode ensures a constant flow rate regardless of changes in machine speed. A decrease in rate maybe visible when sections are disabled.

  • gal/min (US Units)
  • L/min (Metric Units)
