Chapter 5
Prior to starting a job, be sure that the Viper Pro has been configured for the machine, product control
hardware and products to be applied. During an active job, the Viper Pro uses the programmed settings and
calibration values to monitor or control product rate(s), calculate area and volume applied and to provide swath
guidance in the field.
Note:
Refer to Chapter 4, Initial Set Up and Navigation, to configure the Viper Pro product control system
and verify the required product control settings are correctly entered.

Overview of Job Types

The Viper Pro is compatible with the following job types for operation as a stand alone system or as a part of a
full crop data software package.
Standard Jobs
The operator can use the Viper Pro to create the job scouting and application information in the field and during
application of products or covering field area during various operations. A standard job does not require
additional software to set up or begin using guidance, product control or scouting features of the Viper Pro.
Prescription maps may be uploaded to the Viper Pro via a Slingshot user account or USB flash drive and
loaded for standard jobs for variable rate control.
AgX™ Pre-populated Jobs
Jobs may also be pre-populated using AgX standards to create recommendations for product application rates.
Prepopulated jobs require a software program installed on a home or office PC with the ability to create AgX
compliant product application data package recommendations. These packages must contain a prescription
map and field boundary shape file as well as a recommendation file.
Note:
The SST Summit software is required to utilize the AgX pre-populated job files and
recommendations on the Viper Pro. Contact a local Raven dealer for more information or to
acquire an activation code for the AgX features on the Viper Pro field computer.
