Field Research Software (FRS) is a comprehensive, Windows-based solution for field data collection on experimental trials. The FRS solution is designed to fit a variety of field computing methods commonly used by researchers. Choose the FRS solution that best fits your needs.
FRS Field Layout
Function: Field Layout Using GPS technology
Save time and money using FRS Field Layout to establish field boundaries for your testing locations. Using one person, you can set the corners of the field, determine the number of plots within the field, and know that the field is square for planting. Within your field, you can mark the location of unusable plots due to irrigation tracks, low spots or old tile lines. The offset feature lets you set the base line based on a known boundary such as a fence line. At planting time, simply navigate to the set locations, confirm the corners and base line, and start planting. FRS Field Layout replaces traditional field layout methods that depend on laborious measurements using tape measures, right angle prism, range finder and an extra person. FRS Field Layout runs on a GPS enabled Windows Mobile device with sub-meter accuracy such as the Archer Field PC with the XF101 GPS receiver. FRS Field Layout offers an all-in-one intuitive solution that is economical, easy to use, and accurate. FRS Mobile
Function: Note Taking
FRS Mobile is the fully mobile data collection solution for research note taking on experimental field trials. FRS Mobile features a new user interface that brings the modern mobile iPhone-like experience to FRS. FRS Mobile features easy to view screens with color coded functionality, and a finger friendly user experience via large buttons, quick scrolling lists, and easy to use navigation. FRS Mobile is designed to run on Windows Mobile® devices such as the rugged Allegro MX or Archer Field PC. Use FRS Mobile to quickly and accurately prepare, collect, and report plot observations. FRS Mobile simplifies your workflow process for field plot observations. Replace traditional data collection methods that depend on vulnerable paper notebooks and costly data transcription. Using FRS Mobile, you can accomplish your work faster with greater accuracy, plus its fun! FRS Mobile is ideal for research in turf grass, crop science, plant breeding, horticulture, soil science, forestry, and other disciplines. FRS V2.1 Note Taking with Harvest Modules
Function: Note Taking and Harvest
FRS Note Taking with optional Harvest Modules is targeted to plant breeding researchers doing seed research trials with plot harvest data systems. FRS Note Taking is used to collect observations on field research plots, nurseries, greenhouses, and other application with a plot grid layout. FRS is designed for the ultra-rugged Allegro MX or Allegro CX Field PC. FRS Harvest is a an add-on module to FRS Note Taking. FRS Harvest manages the plot harvest data collection process in conjunction with the HarvestMaster GrainGages. FRS Harvest works with Classic, Single High Capacity and Twin High Capacity GrainGages. During the plot harvest process, FRS allows you to bring field map identifiers from your research management programs into FRS. During harvest, run FRS on a mobile handheld to record grain moisture and weight for each plot according to the selected navigation pattern. Send harvest data back to the PC and export it to a CSV file format for use with your research management software. FRS Laptop
Function: Note Taking and Harvest
FRS Laptop is designed for use with a laptop or PC computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista operating system. FRS Laptop offers the same functionality as FRS Note Taking with Harvest Modules on a computer with a full screen. The full screen display featured in FRS Laptop shows multiple data views on one screen. You can easily keep track of field map location via the spatial view window while entering data on the data collection list screen. During harvest, the laptop mounted in the combine manages the plot harvest process. FRS Laptop with the Harvest Module features an easy to see heads up display showing the grain moisture and weight measurements. Using FRS Laptop, the operator can easily monitor the plots being harvested. FRS DataLink
Function: Interface to Research Analysis Software. Manages the FRS field map database.
DataLink manages the interface between your research management software and data collection process in the field. DataLink is a PC based utility that manages the FRS database and provides easy interface to research management software. It is an integral of the FRS Mobile or FRS NoteTaking. Use DataLink to:
