14. NEX TECHNOLOGY 3 8 Configuring the Boom Spray Parameters The following parameters are used when determining when to turn the sections ON and OFF To optimize the usage of AutoSPRAY 4080 it is important that these settings are configured correctly Tolerance The Tolerance is used to decide when to turn valves ON or OFF When set to its default of 1 the system will turn the valves on whenever any part of the sensed area has not been sprayed It is effectively the percent of miss that the system will tolerate If the value is increased the system will not turn the valves on when traversing over a small missed area such as a line between two spray swaths The Tolerance value can be edited in the Parameters Menu Search Width NOTE This is an advanced tuning parameter and should only be changed from its default value under instruction from authorised support personnel This value defines the amount of overlap allowed when turning the valves ON before leaving a sprayed area such as an end zone Hence if the value is set to 2m default the spray section should turn on 2m before any part of the section reaches and unsprayed area This can be used to decrease errors caused by inaccurate GPS positioning When entering a previously sprayed area the system will attempt to turn OFF at exactly the correct time The Search Width value can be edited in the Parameters Menu Latency ON Latency ON is used to compensate for any time d
