 How to Send 20/20 Configuration Files (Planter Setup, Hybrids, Client/Farm/Field Lists) Wirelessly to a 20/20 Summary: Growers that have Client/Farm/Field names already setup in some Farm Management desktop software systems can export 20/20 Config files that can be imported into 20/20. Also, Precision Planting offers a 20/20 PC Demo Tool that you can use to setup Planters, Hybrids, and Client/Farm/Field lists on your PC. These 20/20 Configuration files can be uploaded to the FieldView website and synced down to the iPad for Transfer to the 20/20 using the following 4 steps. 1) Create 20/20 Config File from either 3rd party desktop software or the 20/20 PC Demo Tool. 2) Upload the 20/20 Config File to the Data Transfer page of the FieldView website. 3) CloudSync will sync the 20/20 Config File down to the iPad. 4) When connected to a 20/20, use FieldView’s DataTransfer screen to transfer the appropriate 20/20 Config File to the 20/20.
