1.
Instantaneous flow rate for the grain meter is based on the measured meter shaft
and the calculted mass flow using the grain bulk density and the volumetric flow
rate for the meter as a function of RPM. Data presented is mean from 60 seconds
of flow + one standard deviation.
2.
Instantaneous flow rate for the GreenStar® system is taken directly from
the generated yield map data which provides a one second
mass flow in Lbs/sec. Data presented is mean from 60 seconds of flow +
one standard deviation.
3.
Instantaneous flow rate for the Scale is taken from the recorded weigh scale
data, using a five second
running average of the current scale reading and the past four readings.
Data presented is mean from 60 seconds of flow + one standard deviation.
