A job ensures communication via ISOBUS between the PRO Compact sensor-based system and the application device. Recurring activities or information regarding a field can thus be saved and, if need be, used. - Page 29 Commissioning and operation Creating jobs In order that PRO Compact can be used, it is necessary that a job is created. Jobs must have at least a name (designator). Additional information (organisational data) is saved for each job ► Sec. 5.3.2, page 31.
- Page 30 Commissioning and operation Starting and stopping jobs Jobs enable communication between the PRO Compact and the application device. A job must be started before distribution of the application agent. On completion of the distribution, this job must be stopped. This exits the data recording.

Scanning mode is activated in the working menu. -
Page 35: Distribution
Commissioning and operation 5.4.2 Distribution We recommend that a calibration run is executed before distribution is performed. This enables calculation and distribution of a more precise application quantity than is calculated by the system. Distribution can be performed without a calibration run, this does however lead to results that are less precise. -

Page 52: Glossary
N supply index: Assesses the current nitrogen supply to the crop. One of the two indices must be selected, depending on the fertiliser strategy. That is then the basis on which the ISARIA system calculates the correct application quantity for the current crop. See also:... - Page 53 N supply index Biomass threshold value The biomass threshold value is an adjustable limit value in the ISARIA system. If the measured biomass index falls below the biomass threshold value, the system no longer continues to distribute the calculated application quantity. Instead of this a manually set application quantity is distributed. This prevents the system distributing too much application agent to parts of maps with extremely poor or absent crop growth.
- Page 54 Appendix Gradient The gradient is necessary for calculation of the application quantity. The value specifies the amount by which the application quantity changes when the sensor measurement increments or decrements by 1. The gradient can be either positive or negative. This is determined based on the fertiliser strategy: •...
