Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for calibrating a first meter of an air cart include determining a calibration factor using a second meter. The second meter may be located with the air cart or remotely from the air cart. An amount of material dispensed from the second meter is used to determine the calibration factor. A number of cycles of operation of the second meter may also be used to determine the calibration factor. The calibration factor may be provided via a wired or wireless connection to a controller operable to control operation of the first meter.
