Keep your HP Ipaq computer battery charged. This program along with the Microsoft program “.Net 2 Compact Framework” are stored in RAM. If the battery runs down, you will need to download “.Net 2 Compact Framework” from Microsoft, copy and install “Ramp Mobile Analysis” from our website and recreate the file structure.
There is a routine in the program to screen false triggers, but it will not screen out false triggers held longer than three seconds.

Return to the main form.
Load or Create a Ramp Configuration File
You will need to load a ramp confguration file before you can analyze the data with either the Ramp calculator or the Ramp & Sensor Based Nitrogen Rate Calculator (SBNRC). There are two OSU ramp configuration files loaded on your computer: a) the “2006 16_Step Ramp.txt” for the 170 ft ramps and b) the “2006 8_Step Ramp.txt” file for the 90 ft long ramps.
If you are sensing a ramp not created by the OSU ramp applicators you will need to create and save a ramp configuration file. This routine can be accessed through the RAMP + SBNRC analysis form.

Listing of ramp numbers and rates entered into the program
After entering all of the values for the ramp steps, save the ramp configuration file. Saving the file will also load it into the prgram.
You can return to the main form at any time
If you are using a ramp not created by the OSU ramp applicators, you will need to use this form to create a ramp configuration file.
Field Settings – Required to Analyze N Rich Strips and Ramp Using the SBNRC
Number of Growing Degree Days from planting to one day prior to the sensing date. GDD can be obtained from the “NUE.Okstate.edu” web site
The farmer or land owner estimate of the maximum likely yield in bu/ac or kg/ha.
Expected Nitrogen Use Efficiency at topdress. The default is 50%. The Preplant NUE is typically about 33 % Normally, do not change these values.
Select crop algorithm from pull down menu
The SBNRC applied to the NRich Strip also estimates the value of the crop with the N Rate computation as well as the gross return with and without fertilizer. Enter current grain and fertilizer prices
You will be prompted to load the algorithm file. Select “AlogrithmData Jan 08.csv”
Ramp Analysis File Menu
Prior to analyzing the data you must load an NTech Capture sensed ramp data file.
After you have completed your analysis of each field, save the output file to your computer.
You can load and analyze more than one field before exiting the Ramp_Mobile_Analyzer program.
