Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | The PF3000 should create a .yld file for each session. These .yld files contain some summary information and the point by point yield information for that session. It is quite common for there to be a file for each day of harvesting (assuming the PF3000 was shut down each night). When the system is turned On, it will compare what it feels is the current date with the last .yld file name. It will add to it if the day hasn't changed. If the date has changed it will ask for permission to create a new file. This is to keep the file size manageable since it tends to split your harvest up into parts which are easier to work with.
If you happen to harvest past midnight, the information after midnight is just continued on in the previous day's file. A new one is not started in the middle of things. For the most part this scheme worked well but does have a problem if the battery in the PF3000 dies. Then the time/date does not advance so when the system is fired up, it doesn't detect a change in date so it continues to add information to the previous file. That in itself might not be so bad for an extra day but the problem continues to compound and instead of having several manageable files you have one gigantic one.
I believe you mention something about the PF3000 not being shut down. This may be part of the problem as new files were not created and you ended up with some really huge ones that the software cannot handle.
Given you situation, I would look at the files on the card with something like file manager and look at the file names which should be the date the harvesting was done. There should be one for each session of harvesting. All .yld files start at a certain size which I forget the size of and then continue to "grow" as harvesting progresses through the day. So all of these files should be larger than a certain size and the longer harvest days should result in larger files. If Farmworks seems to pick up certain ones, and not others I would check the files sizes to try to determine if the smaller ones work and the larger ones do not.
If this seems to be the case, your information may be there and possibly SMS or some other software program will be successful in working with it.
