Editing WEPS Crop Parameters

To load all the WEPS crop files into the viewer when the program first starts select the option to View Crop Records and click OK.

If there are any error messages when loading the crop files these are displayed. The most common error would be a parameter that is included in the crop file but not in the MCREW configuration files. If this happens you should contact WEPS technical support.

After the crop data is loaded the viewer is in read-only mode and the data can not be changed. Before any changes can be made select the Options item from the main menu and then click the Allow Changes item.

All data items can be changed except those lines that are displayed in gray which indicates the file is marked as read-only. To change values in any of the cells just double-click the cell and type in a new value. There is some error checks to make sure that numeric fields contain numeric values. There is no checking for the range of acceptable (or reasonable) numbers. If the field is a dropdown list when the cell is click the choices are displayed.

After any field is changed the name of the crop is highlighted in yellow.

To display the cell values in English units click the Options menu and select the first item Alternate (English) Units.
