Import Prescriptions onto Your 20|20

If you have external prescriptions that you'd like to use on your 20|20 system, you can import them with a USB drive.

Before you begin, make sure that each prescription is saved on your USB drive in either .2020 format or as a set of three shapefile-based files (.shp, .dbf, and .shx).

Once you're ready,

1. Insert the USB drive into the port on the left side of your 20|20 monitor.

2. Navigate to the Data page.

   • From the Home screen, press Setup (bottom right).
   • Then press Data (bottom right).
3. Press Import (top right) and then Prescriptions (top center).
4. Select which system the prescription applies to: Seeding, Liquid, Granular, or Depth.

5. A popup will appear, listing available files. Select which ones to import by tapping on them, then press Import.

6. Optional – If you want to use a single prescription file for multiple systems, repeat steps 4 and 5 for each system.

Assign Prescriptions to Specific Fields

Once you have prescriptions imported into your 20|20, you will need to assign each one to its intended field.

1. Navigate to the Fields page.

   • From the Home screen, press Setup (bottom right).
   • Then press Fields (top right).
2. Select the appropriate Client, Farm, and Field for the prescription you want to work with.
3. Select which system the prescription will be used for: Seeding, Liquid, Granular, or Depth.

4. Find and select the prescription to use for this field by tapping on the prescription file box to browse existing prescriptions.

   

5. Confirm your prescription choice, and if necessary, adjust the target zones before making it active on the field (for more on this adjustment, see steps 3 - 4 in Edit Prescriptions).

   

6. Once you have the prescription adjusted to suit your needs, assign it to the field by pressing Save.
7. Finally, select which attribute will be used for each drive section.
8. Optional – If you want to assign prescriptions to additional fields, repeat steps 2-7 for each one.

Use Prescriptions to Control Your Implement

After you have assigned a prescription to an active field, you can use it to control the implement.

1. From the Home screen, press the control button for the system you want to control, such as vDrive, mSet, Nitrogen, Depth, and Granular.

2. Toggle the system from Manual to Prescription control at the top of the screen. When Prescription is selected, the system will be controlled by the assigned prescription.

   Below is the screen. Notice the active Prescription toggle on the center right

You get a first opportunity to modify a prescription when assigning it to a field. But you can also change your mind later and modify it from the system control screen.

To edit a prescription already assigned to the field,

1. From the Home screen, press the control button for the system you want, such as vDrive, mSet, Nitrogen, Depth, and Granular.

   • Or bump the values up or down with the +1 and –1 buttons (bottom center).
5. Press Save (bottom right) to confirm your changes or Cancel (bottom left) to discard them.
