addVANTAGE Pro 6.4 Administrator Guide CHAPTER 2

Navigating the Data

The root node contains all the objects in a system. You can also think of it as the

container for the database on a server.

An area is an object that defines a certain place that you have associated with a

specific property. It can be a field, a city, a section in a plant, a country, or any

other physical place. You can also have areas within areas, or subareas.

An RTU is placed in an area. You can have as many RTUs in an area as you

want—limited only by the type of license you own and the remote server or

Telemetry Gateway you are downloading data from. All the RTUs in a certain

area have the common property that they belong to that area.

The RTUs have tags, which can be sensors or actuators. A tag can also result out

of the processing of other tags by an extension.

Crops act as containers for extensions (calculations or disease models) that are

specific to one crop field in one year. Crop nodes have all the required

phenological phases, irrigations, and treatments.

Calculation extensions are types of embedded software that process input tags

following certain rules and output events or other tags (virtual tags). This type

of extension can also control output tags (actuators), effectively implementing

remote control functions. Calculation extensions apply to an area rather than a

crop.

Disease models are types of embedded software that track the progress of

common diseases that are specific to a crop. They are always the children of a

crop node.

Panels are the result of saving a view. For example, if you create a Trend and

want to refer to it later (see page 62), you can save it as a panel.

Functions in Explorer

As the “main window” in addVANTAGE Pro, the Explorer offers many features. In

addition to the usual expand/collapse of branches by clicking the plus (

+) or

minus (

-) sign, you can rename a node just by clicking the name twice.

You can also right-click a node and see a variety of options on the context menu,

depending on the node type and the permissions your user ID has. Figure 13,
