   Note:  Refer to Product Configuration for more information on how to create or edit a product configuration.

3. Select the Carrier drop-down selection and select the existing carrier product or select the Add button to create a new carrier.

4. For liquid products, select the Carrier Volume field and enter the volume of carrier used in the mix. This field is used to set the ratio of product and does not have to reflect the actual volume of carrier in the tank.

   Note:  For example, if a chemical supplier used 1500 gallons of water mixed with 500 gallons of a liquid fertilizer for the nurse tank mixture, the Carrier Volume may be entered as 1500 and the ingredient volume may be entered as 500. The Raven OS will calculate the ratio for each tank load for the field application.

The lower portion of the Product Configuration prompt allows mix or blend ingredients to be added to the Product Configuration. This information is used to calculate the ratios of product applied during field operations with the mix or blend assigned to the control channel.
