Liquid Tank Mix Overview

The liquid tank mix can be used to track product information for each liquid system on the 20|20 platform. Each liquid system set up on the 20|20 records separate tank mixes, and can be exported from the display with field map data.

To begin using the liquid tank mix feature, a mix needs to be created. Follow the below steps to create a tank mix.

1. Navigate to the liquid system control screen from the home screen. Examples may include Nitrogen, Starter, and was assigned during Equipment Profile Setup.
2. On the Control screen, tap on 'Tank Mix Setup' on the right side of the screen.

This is the tank mix setup page, where you can create mixes, view summary data, and actively track tank mixes.
