Chapter 6. Working with Extensions and

Crops

As with previous versions, the addVANTAGE Pro 6.4 software has extended

functionality through additional software modules called extensions. Extensions

are entities that perform calculations.

The types of extensions you work with are calculation extensions and disease

models. Crops are nodes that store information about phenophases, irrigations,

and treatments. They are not extensions. Disease models and calculation

extensions are relatively new to addVANTAGE Pro. Disease models are

extensions that apply only to crops. They “hear” events issued by the crop.

Calculation extensions usually apply to an area. Although they can be children of

a crop node, calculation extensions do not “hear” events issued by the crop

(such as when a treatment is applied).

Another set of extensions now available is called RTU diagnostics. These

diagnostic extensions are associated with RTU tags and they verify whether the

data coming from a tag is plausible. The configuration of these extensions is

related to climate, which is why you learned about the Climate Manager on page

58 of Chapter 4.

You can right-click any extension or crop and use the Cut, Copy, and Paste

options to duplicate the extension or crop in another part of the Explorer.

About addVANTAGE Pro Extensions

Some extensions are included with the software and others can be installed

separately. For example, Adcon Telemetry provides a collection of calculation

extensions and disease models (still collectively known as extensions) in a

package you can receive free of charge upon request from your Adcon

distributor. These extensions are documented in a separate addVANTAGE Pro

6.1 Extensions and Crops manual. This manual is located on the software CD,

which also contains these free extensions, or you can download it from Adcon

Telemetry’s website at http://www.adcon.at.

The Info Button

You will also find that certain calculation extensions and disease models have

additional information available in the software itself, on their Properties dialog’s

Extension tab. When you see an “info” button like the one shown in Figure 101,

click it to open a dialog with additional information about using the extension.

Recalculating Extensions and Crops

An extension will automatically recalculate some properties in the input data

sets if their options have been changed. This operation usually takes only a

couple of seconds, but in extreme cases (large data sets or many extensions
