Good Morning,
I am using a Case Rowtrac 400 with a pull behind Flexicoil 67XLT with the Trimble TMX 2050 and Trimble Field IQ node on the sprayer. I talked with some other people yesterday and apparently I need to export a map that shows that the whole field has been sprayed except for the areas that have weeds. In essence I need to export a prescription that is a reverse magic tool that highlights everything that doesn’t need to be sprayed as already sprayed and leaves the detected weeds as areas that haven’t been sprayed. Then as the sprayer travels over those areas they get recognized as areas that haven’t been sprayed yet and the spray computer turns on the necessary sections. Is it possible to export a map like that with your software and if so, what is the workflow to do that?
This is possible, you can reverse MagicTool selection on the operations map:
Assign a rate to all empty cells and then delete the first rate which is from the MagicTool selection. Thats how you can reverse this.
That will give me a map that has 2 rates, 0 gals per acre and 10 gals per acre (my target rate is 10 gals per acre). I need a map that has sprayed areas and un-sprayed areas, not different rates. Does that make sense?
No it won’t because you delete the first rate and then you have an inverted map.
Ok. I’ll give it a try.
Hi,
In order to achieve this, the new Operation should have a specific column, specific folder names and imported as limits.
Please share the operation, and we will share a compatible format with you.
Good Morning and thanks for your help.
Here is my workflow for getting the map loaded onto my spray computer. I went wrong somewhere yesterday as the map that I pulled up on the sprayer was a solid prescription map and not a sprayed/ not sprayed map. Could you please help me get the correct settings to load the map on my Trimble TMX-2050.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing this with us.
The On/Off prescription should be in the following folders:
"AgGPS\Data\Farmername\fieldname"
It should also have specific column names
Share the prescription with us so we share it with you.
Best
Ok. I’ll try it when we get home. On vacation right now for two days.
Good Evening,
I created the file AgGPS/data/Simpson/3 Quarters on my USB memory stick and saved my prescription map to that folder. I didn’t see that it made any difference as the only prescription map that I was able to load was the previous on that didn’t load properly. I have attached the prescription map that I am trying to load.
