Farmworks Task Managment

[Lofty]

Any one out there experienced in creating tasks on Farmworks, exporting them to a terminal, running the task and then returning the completed task to FW for record keeping?
Running a Mueller Touch terminal and having trouble finding the total for quantity of product used on FW.

If you running a mueller terminal its likely your using ISO XML as the format to transfer the data to FW in which case there is no quantity recorded only rates of application. FW software will look at the each plot in the map and tally the width and rate to work out the quantity of product used.

If you did not import a map then you won't get a quantity.

Interesting..... The terminal counts up the total product applied in the task controller but your saying the ISO XML format doesn't support the transfer of that bit of info?

Thanks for that. Can you tell me how to do that in FW?

Not a user of Farmworks so sorry but cant help with that. I have queried this with Gatekeeper before why my in cab terminal reports a different total used to the program when imported. They told me that the raw data gets calculated by each device or software and can come up with different amounts due to the different ways the manufacturers and software makers calculate it. Hope that explains it.
