Claim 10:
11. A method of generating adjustment data for a machine for mowing vegetation, the method executed utilizing a processor and memory of a mobile device comprising the processor, the memory and a communication interface for communicatively coupling the processor to a control module of the machine by way of a communication interface of the control module, comprising:
receiving, by the processor coupled with the memory, input parameter data representing a characteristic pertaining to an instance of vegetation or pertaining to the 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, wherein the mechanical parameter pertains to: 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 by transferring the determined value of the mechanical parameter of the machine over a communication link to a control device of the machine for mowing the vegetation, and updating a data field in a memory associated with the mechanical parameter of the machine with the determined value, the data field utilized by a control device of the machine for adjusting the machine according to the determined value.
