The display supports the use of three different variable rate
file formats. The differences between the file formats is
outlined in the table below.
• *.irx (Rx File)
The *.irx file is a new file format designed specifically for use in this display. Unlike earlier Ag Leader file
formats, the *.irx file supports multiple product recommendations in a single file. For more information, see
“Irx File Use for Multiple Product Application” on page 253 .
• *.tgt (Target File)
The *.tgt file format was initially developed for use in the Ag Leader PF model displays. This file format is
limited to one product recommendation per file. The display is restricted to single product variable rate
application when using this file type. For more information, see
“Irx File Use for Multiple Product Application”
on page 253 and “Tgt File Use for Single Product Variable Rate Application” on page 255 .
• *.shp, *.dbf, *.shx (Shape Files)
What is commonly called a shape file is actually a collection of three different files. All three of the files are
required and must be present on the external storage card for the display to use shape file groups for
variable rate product application. A single "shape file" can contain recommendation rates for multiple
products. For more information, see
“Shape File Conversion” on page 255 .

A single *.irx file can contain recommendation rates for multiple products. In cases of multiple product
application, step 2 of the process is repeated for each product recommendation.
