Notes Scheduling AFS Treatment Sessions
In previous exercises, you used the Fields To Be Scheduled dialog box to identify the
treatment fields to include in treatment sessions. You can also schedule Automatic
Field Sequencing (AFS) or Manual Field Sequencing (MFS) for a treatment session or

subsequent treatment field up during the treatment session, and records all fields after
treatment. In this exercise, you will add AFS treatment sessions and schedule treatment
fields.
