Introduction to Mirus

Mirus is the software companion for the HarvestMaster GrainGage, used to calibrate the GrainGage and collect, view, and manage data. During harvest,  Mirus records the moisture, weight, test weight, and NIR constituents for each plot. You can also add notes and attributes to support your research. 

Mirus can be used on its own—without a GrainGage—to collect notes in a field without a GrainGage.

 See the Same Harvest View

The Harvest screen is customizable. Whether you prefer a certain combination of panes in the quad view or work better from the graph, spatial, or list view, Mirus will open the Harvest screen to the view that you last used. 

Understand Plugins

Part of the flexibility of Mirus is the way that it is customized to your specific setup with plugin attachments and devices. In its simplest form with no plugins, Mirus collects data through its powerful note taking capabilities (see Appendix D: Take Notes with Mirus). When you download and install Mirus, you will also get the Mirus plugin manager, which you will need to use to enable the H3 device. (See Enable the H3 GrainGage Plugin.)  When you connect your plugin (H3 GrainGage), Mirus will know what data your GrainGage collects. You can add additional capability to your device with plugin attachments, such as Conditional Action for advanced automation and control (see Appendix E: Use the Conditional Action Plugin).

Export SCiO Files 

You can export the data collected by the SCiO sensor from Setup > H3 GrainGage > SCiO.

For advanced analysis or sharing, we recommend zipping the raw scan files, making them easy to transfer and ideal for post-processing workflows. This feature ensures that your original scan data is preserved and accessible for further review or external analysis, providing flexibility and control over your NIR data management.

View GrainGage Info

The detailed snapshot of chamber, module, and sensor information available from the info section is a critical tool for monitoring the health and performance of your GrainGage system. You can see the status of key components. This information is essential for troubleshooting issues, verifying that all modules are properly connected, and ensuring sensors are functioning within expected parameters.

From Setup > H3 GrainGage,

1. Tap Info.

 Mirus opens the Info screen from which you can view Chamber, Module, and Sensor information for the GrainGage.

View Information About Mirus

Together, the information available from the Setup About tab will help keep your system current, compliant, and fully supported for optimal performance.

Update the GrainGage Firmware

You do not typically need to update the firmware. It is automatically updated when Mirus is installed. However, if you need to update, it is easy.  Reasons to update firmware could include a critical patch, new features, or enhancements that improve performance, expand compatibility, or add functionality to your GrainGage system

From Setup > H3 GrainGage > Firmware, tap Update.
