Claim 0:
1. A mobile device, comprising:
a processor for executing instructions to perform operations of the mobile device;
a communication interface for communicatively coupling the processor to a processing device external to the mobile device; and
a memory for maintaining the instructions executed by the processor, the operations comprising:
receiving, by the processor, input parameter data representing a characteristic pertaining to an instance of vegetation or a machine for mowing the vegetation;
determining, by the processor, a value of a mechanical parameter of the machine as a function at least in part of the input parameter data, the mechanical parameter of the machine comprising: a cutting reel cassette identifier of a set of cutting reel cassette identifiers, a rear roller position, a bedblock eccentricity position, a number of blades on a bedknife, a bedknife attitude angle, a behind center distance (BCD) of bedknife, a reel motor counterbalance of a set of reel motor counterbalances, a parallelism metric of the bedknife, a drive speed, a cutting reel speed, a frequency of clip metric in units of distance, or a type of bedknife of a set of bedknives; and
outputting, by the processor, additional data representing the determined value of the mechanical parameter of the machine, the outputting further comprising:
establishing, by way of the communication interface, a communication link with an electronic control device of the machine; and
updating, by the communication link, a data field of the electronic control device with the additional data representing the determined value of the mechanical parameter of the machine; wherein the electronic control device is operable to adjust the mechanical parameter of the machine, or adjust a second parameter of the machine dependent upon the mechanical parameter of the machine, consistent with the determined value of the mechanical parameter of the machine.
