ABSTRACT:
An application monitoring device to determine and display the volume of liquid or granular material applied per unit area of ground by mobile application equipment is described. The device includes a first measuring means which generates an area electrical pulse signal having a frequency proportional to the rate at which the application equipment covers or traverses a unit of area, and a second measuring means which generates a volume electrical pulse signal having a frequency proportional to the rate of application of the material. A frequency multiplying means operates on the electrical a pulse signal of the first measuring means, and a pulse counting device connected to the output of the frequency multiplying means and the second measuring means accumulates the electrical pulses from the second measuring means for a period of time determined by the frequency multiplying means and corresponding to the time required by said application equipment to cover a unit of area. Display means indicate the above accumulated value of pulses which is a measure of the volume of material applied per unit area.
