When you start a job you have to select a product name from the list or create a new one. If you don't need any other records then you just go spray. Otherwise once in a job there is a "report" menu. This one allows you to go through and select fields, farms, customers (customer number and address info tied to names), operators, and information like operator licence numbers, specific product mixes, weather info (with a Watchdog weather station it can save this info with one touch) , field condition info ect. Rate is selected from the lower left corner of the screen for each product node connected to the Viper.
When you "close job" the Viper returns to a road map navagation screen (you have to load some county road maps). It will not continue displaying covered areas outside of a job. Yes you can reopen and add to a job if you need to return to finish it up. The job file can be named anything by the operator. Commercial customers often use their paper work order number and the farmers name in the job name.
The Viper is simpler to navigate as everything is in a liniar work flow, not just application but setup and calibrations. Autosteer, Autoboom, GPS info, Product node settings are all just a popup window from the main run screen. Different mapping screens are just selected by tabs on the side of the main screen.
The Pro700 works just fine but is a bit more complicated to learn. IMO it is less driscriptive in its mapping screens. In my job I get calls from farmers who forget about operation instance and work condition which prevent them from applying or getting accuboom to work. This is not a problem with guys running Vipers.
Also should there be a problem suchas the office does not place RX files in the correct jump drive directory, the operator can go to the Windows XP desktop and move the files with Windows explorer. The Pro700 software has a long way to go to match the Viper in the arena of application control.
