What is the Swath Kit?

The Swath Kit is a portable laptop computer-based tool for analyzing the spray patterns of agricultural aircraft. The Swath Kit uses an image analyzer to measure spray patterns from cards sprayed by aircraft. The Windows-based Swath Kit program analyses the spray pattern with a view to optimizing aircraft spray system performance. A portable weather station that records weather data during spray trials is available as an option.

Everything! You get a purpose-designed image analyzer, purpose-designed software, a protective, stylish equipment case and product support. This equipment is meant for travel, works in the field off a battery, but is just as comfortable sitting in an office or lab where it can operate on 90 - 250V AC. All you need to supply is sprayed cards from your projects!
