Conversion Factor

Rate Conversions may be used to calibrate a prescription map recommendation for the application or a
different product.
For Example:
Enter a value of '2' to double the prescription rates on the selected prescription map or a value of "0.8" to
apply 80% of the prescribed rate.
The Rate Conversions may also be used to convert a prescription map from liters or ounces to gallons, or
gallons to ounces or liters. Touch the Common Factors button to view some common rate conversion values.
Note:
The Rate Conversion value must be greater than zero. In most applications, the conversion factor
will be left at the default setting of 1.0.

•
Standard - This method requires no action or additional setup by the operator. The operator
simply begins to apply product to the field and the Viper Pro monitors the coverage map and will
turn sections off if the implement enters into a previously applied area.
•
Create Section Control No-Apply Map - This method allows the operator to define apply/no-
apply zones within the field. This method is typically used if no previous map has been created
and the operator wants to define the field boundaries and other boundaries such as waterways,
well heads, etc.
•
Load Section Control No-Apply Map - This method allows the operator to load a previously
created zone map. Select the desired map from the list of available zone maps currently stored
on the Viper Pro.
•
Map From Field Boundary - This method allows the Viper Pro to generate a no-apply boundary
map from the current field boundary.
