Description
Convert a nondecreasing irrigation pulse count to supplied metered volume.
Precision-agriculture records separate spatial reference versions, quality-code sources, calibration factors and target prescriptions. A cross-track error needs a directed planar line, while pulse counts require a compatible volume-per-pulse factor. Local map differences and overlap widths do not select a treatment, control machinery or establish positioning accuracy.
Convert a nondecreasing irrigation pulse count to supplied metered volume.
When to use this tool
Use Precision Irrigation Meter Count when you already have previousPulseCount, currentPulseCount, volumePerPulse and need to convert a nondecreasing irrigation pulse count to supplied metered volume.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousPulseCount, currentPulseCount, volumePerPulse. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read pulseIncrement, meteredVolume. Use the output convention below.
Require safe whole previous>=0/current>=previous and volumePerPulse>0; increment=current-previous and volume=increment*factor.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| previousPulseCount | Previous Pulse Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| currentPulseCount | Safe whole counter at least previous; reset/rollover is not assumed. | Required. Safe integer. |
| volumePerPulse | Volume Per Pulse | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| pulseIncrement | Pulse Increment | Required. Safe integer. |
| meteredVolume | Metered Volume | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Counter reset/rollover is rejected rather than inferred; calibration, leaks, actual delivered water and suitable irrigation are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the original georeferenced map, calibrated meter and verified machine geometry for field decisions. A full guidance or application analysis must include coordinate system, path extent and equipment constraints beyond one signed offset or overlap width.
