Build & Run a Learned Flow Program

This walkthrough will demonstrate how to build and run a learned flow program. By running a Learned Flow program, uses calibrated Expected Flow for a given station. A Learned Flow program can be built like a standard program & include any number of stations. In this Walkthrough, we demonstrate how to quickly build a Learned Flow program that includes all stations. 

Note: A Learned Flow Program must be completed when using low/high deviation flow alarms. It is recommended to Run a Learned Flow at least yearly. For sites with multiple mainlines, the NLP can will allow irrigation on mainlines that have stations that are not in a Learned Flow state. 

1. Navigate to   → Irrigation Controller → Programs
2. Click
3. Under Strategy dropdown, select Sequential
4. Under Description, enter “Learned Flow Program”
5. Click CREATE
6. Click STEPS
7. Click
8. Under Target type dropdown, select All and under Type dropdown, select Learn Flow
9. Click Wait completion to toggle to
10. Click CREATE
11. Click SAVE
12. Click  next to your new learned flow program to run
13. Once the Learned Flow Program is complete, go to Stations → 
14. Under the Station Actions dropdown, select action Apply observed (learned) flow →  SAVE.

You can now see the new calibrated flow values as Expected flow. If you disagree with any of the Learned Flow values, manually update Expected flow by editing a station.
