Getting Started
Set up your LENS unit, Fieldbook account, and first-season workflow.

Meet the five main parts of your LENS — the probe, power source, fiber optic cable, scanning surface, and reference cap — and how they work together.
Accept your Fieldbook invite
Activate your Fieldbook account from the invitation email and set a secure password.

Farms are the top-level containers in Fieldbook. Create one before adding fields.

Add fields inside a farm by uploading shapefiles or drawing boundaries on the map.
Once per fieldCreate a cropyear
A cropyear ties scans to a specific crop in a specific field for one season.
Each seasonConnect the unit and calibrate
Connect the probe to the power source and laptop, then calibrate before every session until both indicators are green.
Before every sessionRun a demo scan before your first real session
A quick test scan on an early-season crop confirms the unit works and your scouts are comfortable.
