When the bin capacity is entered, it will appear as the value on the bin icon. The visual bar graph indicator for bin level will also appear as "full" on the main GreenStar Rate Controller Dry run page. The number will count down as the bin empties and the bar graph indicator will stay at the full level until the calculated bin heaped capacity is reached. (South Africa, South America, Mexico, North America and Australia) GreenStar Rate Controller Dry Manual Target Rate GreenStar Rate Controller Dry has been updated to allow the entry of a single decimal place for the target rate for both main bins and micronutrient bins when in manual rate mode. (South Africa, South America, Mexico, North America and Australia) GreenStar Rate Controller Dry Implement Offsets Changes have been made for the GreenStar Display to save Implement Offsets to the Implement Name in the GreenStar Rate Controller Dry Implement Setup. Once data is entered for a valid configuration (requiring implement and product setup in the GreenStar Rate Controller Dry), the operator will need to setup the Implement Model, Implement Name and Offsets on the GreenStar Equipment -> Implement 1 tab. (South Africa, South America, Mexico, North America and Australia) The Implement Name in GreenStar should reflect the Implement Name in the GreenStar Rate Controller Dry. The offsets entered for a given Implement Name will be saved to that name and will not revert to default measurements unless the Implement Name is changed on the GreenStar Rate Controller Dry. Offsets in GreenStar will need to be adjusted each time a new Implement Name is created on the GreenStar Rate Controller Dry.
