      2. If you have finished adding sites, you can click on the “Add a Bin” button at the bottom of the screen to start adding bins/silos to your site(s).

      Note: Once the grain type is selected the Grain Curve will automatically populate with the most current grain curve. Also, if you do not know the commodity that will be stored at the time of the bin creation, you can click “Skip this Step” and fill the information in later.

      Step 11

      Note: If you have skipped the pervious step because you do not know the commodity to be stored in this bin at this time, you may also skip the Edit Bin Parameters step and fill it in later.

      The Bin Data page is where you would select the desired bin to have the EMC value calculated.

      1. Select your desired bin.
      2. This section displays all the grain, fan, and the fill level of the grain.
      3. By default, the virtual weather is turn ON. This will provide you with virtual weather (Temperature & Relative Humidity) for your bin site based on the closest virtual weather data.
      4. This section will display the output data using all the previously inputted data and the virtual weather data.

      Note: If you had skipped any steps during the bin creation stage, section 5 would display a message notifying you that there is missing information that needs to be added to get output values from the calculator. You would click on the displayed message in the Notification Center, and it would take you directly to the section that the information needs to be added.

      Note: If you have added OPI hardware to your site, (i.e., Cables, Cable Nodes, Fan Nodes) you would click on the "Setup OPI System" button in the button left hand corner of the screen to continue the journey to configuring the installed hardware onsite.
