About isobus-project

The Isobus module allows you to read ISO11783-10 (Isobus) data into Agrosense.

Introduction

An isobus data collection contains the following files:

A taskdata file is usually named “taskdata.xml”, but could be named something entirely different. De taskdata file contains references to the filename of the timelog files and to the grid-file. Timelog data is contained in one XML file and one binary file bearing the same name in the format: TLGxxxxx.xml and TGLxxxxx.bin) These two files belong together, one is useless without the other. The grid however, is contained within a single binary grid-file with the name-format: GRDxxxxx.bin
xxxxx is a number between 00000 and 99999 in all cases.
Example of an isobus taskdata collection:

isobus_taskdata_example

Isobus explorer-view

The node structure for isobus taskdata is mostly identical to the structure of the taskdata.xml itself. Since this will result in a lot of nodes of the same type in one big list, the similar-type nodes are collected under aggregate nodes. For example:

isobus_explorer_example

... where "Workers" and "Products groups" are aggregate nodes with the individual "Worker"-nodes, respectively "product group"-nodes below them instead of directly under the taskdata-node as they appear to be in the source taskdata XML. Another deviation from the XML-structure is the parts where references to the timelog and grid-files are located. Timelogs and grid-entries as stored in these files will be placed under these nodes where in reality the exist in the TLG and GRD-files.
