Storage
Every time you work on a field, a large amount of data is produced. We call it "Field data" here. The field data must be saved so you can use it in the future.
Data type
Field data consists of the following information:
- ▪
- Field boundaries
- ▪
- Reference point
- ▪
- Guidance lines
- ▪
- Areas where product has been applied
- ▪
- Marked obstacles
Formats
The terminal can save the field data in two formats:
- ▪
- ngstore format - This is the terminal's internal data format. It is used as a standard and contains all of the field data.
- –
- The ngstore format is different on non-touch terminals and on touch terminals. You cannot exchange the data between a touch terminal and a non-touch terminal. An alternative is described in the following section: Data exchange between touch and non-touch terminals
- –
- The files are located in the "ngstore" folder.
- –
- On a PC, you can only open ngstore data with the TRACK-Guide Desktop application.
- ▪
- shp format or kml format - These are standardised formats that are used by many GIS programs.
- –
- The terminal can convert field boundaries, the position of obstacles and applied areas from the ngstore format into shp or kml format and save them to the USB memory device.
- –
- The terminal can also save the field data in shp format:
- –
- The files are located in the "GIS" folder.
Data media
All field data will be saved together on the USB memory device.
ISOBUS-TC
If you process tasks with the ISOBUS-TC application, you must not save the field data in TRACK-Leader. The data will be automatically saved together with the task in the Taskdata.xml file.
