🇨🇦 CANADA — DJI Agras Remote Controller Interface, Team Management, Field Data, Logs, Firmware & Device Management

The DJI Agras remote controller is much more than the device used to move the aircraft. It is the operator’s command centre for account identity, Agras Team selection, aircraft connection, field planning, task management, flight-record synchronization, spreading-material profiles, mapping outputs, prescription maps, diagnostic logs, firmware, D-RTK equipment, charging devices, DJI Relay and entry into Operation View.

This Canadian edition of the Ares Acres main-interface guide is written for agricultural-drone operators working across Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and other Canadian agricultural regions. The interface logic demonstrated in the DJI training video is the same: the operator still needs to know which account is logged in, which team is active, where a field is stored, whether a record has synchronized, how to retrieve an unfinished task and how to package logs for technical support. The Canadian difference is the operating context around those records and missions.

That Canadian context matters because a controller can store detailed flight and application information without automatically proving that a mission met every Transport Canada, Health Canada PMRA, provincial, territorial, customer or company recordkeeping requirement. The controller is a powerful operational database; it should be integrated into a broader fleet-management and compliance process rather than treated as the only record system.

This guide follows the source video closely while expanding it into a technician/operator reference for home-screen navigation, account and team discipline, cloud/local/microSD storage, field naming, task-resume logic, material calibration records, variable-rate prescription workflows, diagnostic log handling, firmware control and Canadian fleet SOPs.

Important: DJI Agriculture app labels, menu positions, cloud behaviour, device compatibility and firmware workflows can change by controller, aircraft generation, app version, firmware and region. Use this guide to understand the function of each area, then use the current interface and official DJI documentation as the final authority.

Quick Answer: What Is the DJI Agras Main Interface Used For?

Home Screen → User Account → Agras Team → Messages → General Settings → Network & Storage → Document Management → Planned Fields → Tasks in Progress → Task Templates → Materials → Reconstruction Outputs → Prescription Maps → Flight Records → Log Upload → Device Management → Aircraft Connection → Operation View.

The most important organizational principle is simple: know which account and team are active, where the data is stored, and whether it has synchronized before creating, deleting or rebuilding anything. A “missing” field may belong to another team, exist only in the cloud, remain only on the controller or be stored on microSD.

Important Interface Clarification: Names and Locations Can Change

The source transcript uses names such as “My Agras Team,” “Document Management,” “Task in Progress,” “Material,” “Reconstruction Output” and “Prescription Map.” DJI has changed menu wording and interface organization across controller generations and app revisions.

Do not memorize a screen coordinate as though it is permanent. Learn the function. If a newer T50, T70P or T100 controller moves a menu, the workflow remains understandable when the operator knows what the menu is supposed to accomplish.

1. DJI Agras Home Screen Layout

After the remote controller powers on and the DJI Agriculture interface loads, the home screen acts as the navigation hub. The source video identifies a function area toward the upper-left and a lower area containing data-management and connection functions.

Interface area Primary purpose Operator use
User / function area Account, team, messages, settings and profile access Confirm identity, permissions and correct team
Log Upload Upload diagnostic logs and flight records Technical analysis after a malfunction
Device Management Firmware, activation and accessory status Manage connected fleet equipment
Aircraft connection status Shows aircraft/controller connection Verify system readiness
Operation View Main flight/mission interface Plan, configure and conduct operations

2. User Information and Permissions

The User Info screen displays information associated with the logged-in DJI Agriculture account. Depending on software version and account permissions, this can include personal/account information, task area, flight hours, total flights and other profile data.

For a one-person operation, logging into the wrong account may be obvious. For a fleet with several pilots, contractors, instructors, technicians or regional crews, the consequences can be less obvious: different permissions, different teams, different cloud data and different field libraries.

Account Verification Before an Operating Day

  • Confirm the intended user is logged in.
  • Confirm the user has the permissions required for the planned work.
  • Confirm the correct Agras Team.
  • Confirm required fields and templates are visible.
  • Confirm cloud-dependent records have synchronized when needed.

3. My Agras Team: Why Team Selection Is Critical

The source tutorial makes one statement that explains many apparent data problems: fields are bound to teams.

The My Agras Team area lets the operator view the current team and, when allowed, switch teams. Owner-level accounts can create and manage teams through supported DJI Agriculture management systems.

Field-data rule: If a known field is missing, check the active account and Agras Team before rebuilding the boundary. A team switch can change which fields are visible even when the original data still exists.

Recommended Team Structure for Canadian Operators

The exact structure depends on the business, but teams can be useful for separating:

  • Different farms or customers.
  • Prairie and eastern operating regions.
  • Spraying vs spreading crews.
  • Training vs production work.
  • Company-owned vs customer-managed field libraries.
  • Seasonal crews or contract operators.

The important point is consistency. Everyone should understand which team owns the master field record.

4. Flight Record Auto-Sync

The source tutorial recommends enabling flight-record synchronization so task information can be uploaded to the DJI Agriculture server for management and review. For fleets using multiple controllers or operators, synchronization improves continuity and reduces the chance that an important task record remains stranded on one controller.

Auto-sync is convenient, but it does not eliminate the need to understand what your organization must retain separately. A DJI flight record may support operational history while a provincial pesticide program, customer contract, Transport Canada requirement, SFOC condition or internal QA process may require different information or retention periods.

5. Flight Records Screen: Manual Upload

The Flight Records screen can be used to review and upload records manually. This is useful after work in areas with weak or no internet service.

End-of-Day Record Workflow

  1. Connect the controller to reliable Wi-Fi where available.
  2. Open Flight Records.
  3. Confirm the day’s important tasks are present.
  4. Upload records that remain local.
  5. Verify synchronization before clearing any nonessential data.
  6. Preserve separate customer, pesticide or aviation records required by the operation.

6. Logging Out and Back In

The Exit function logs the current DJI Agriculture account out. The source video shows login again through a supported QR-code method or account credentials.

Do not log out casually when the controller contains unsynchronized data. Confirm important work is preserved first. In a multi-team fleet, note the active account and team so the next login does not create confusion about “missing” fields.

Security note: Do not send passwords, authentication codes or login QR codes to a dealer or third party for troubleshooting. A diagnostic QR reference generated through Log Upload is a different workflow.

7. Message Center

Message Center stores unread and historical notices. Review relevant system messages before large operating days, particularly when they concern firmware, account status, service availability, safety, activation or device compatibility.

An operator who dismisses every message automatically can miss information that explains a new warning or changed menu behaviour.

8. General Settings: Units Matter in Canadian Agriculture

General Settings controls measurement units and other available parameters. Canadian agriculture often uses a mixture of metric and imperial conventions depending on region, customer, chemical program and agronomic workflow. A farm may discuss hectares in one system and acres in another; liquid rates may appear in L/ha while other planning conversations still use acres or gallons.

The controller does not know which convention your crew intended. Standardize the unit system used for a particular operating workflow and verify it before entering manual values.

Unit-conversion risk: Confusing hectares and acres, litres and gallons, metres and feet, or m/s and km/h can create a serious application or route error. Do not copy a numerical value from another document without checking its unit.

Fleet Unit SOP

  • Choose the preferred controller unit system for the organization or project.
  • Include units on written task instructions.
  • Do not communicate a rate as a number alone.
  • After updates or controller changes, recheck measurement settings.
  • When importing a prescription map, verify the source units before flight.

9. Language and Audio Files

The controller can use the system-default language or another supported language. The source tutorial notes that multilingual audio resources can download automatically after a language change.

For fleets with English- and French-speaking operators, interface-language consistency can help when procedures refer to exact menu labels. If the language is changed, complete required downloads over reliable Wi-Fi before field deployment when possible.

10. Privacy Settings and Product-Improvement Data

The source tutorial recommends enabling privacy/data options for task-management convenience and encourages participation in DJI’s product-improvement program. Treat those as configuration decisions, not universal requirements.

A farm, university, public body, enterprise operator or contractor may have internal policies governing location data, customer field boundaries, telemetry, cloud synchronization and diagnostic sharing. Review settings in the context of those policies rather than enabling every option automatically.

11. Storage Management

Storage Management lets the operator clear categories of app data. This becomes important on controllers that accumulate mapping files, screenshots, recordings, cached content, logs and years of task information.

When storage is low, classify data before deleting it:

Data type Typical handling
Temporary/cache/general data Often reasonable to clear after confirming it is nonessential
Active field/task data Preserve until verified in another required location
Prescription maps Preserve master/source versions and confirm field association
Diagnostic logs Preserve while a fault is unresolved
Screenshots/screen recordings Archive if needed for support, training or QA
Customer/application records Retain according to applicable contractual and regulatory requirements

12. Network Diagnosis

Network Diagnosis helps determine whether the controller can reach the required internet services. The source video represents successful paths with green connections between network nodes.

If cloud fields, login, firmware updates, record synchronization or log upload fails, run Network Diagnosis before assuming the aircraft-control hardware is defective.

Network vs Aircraft-Link Diagnosis

A controller can have a healthy aircraft radio link while having no internet. It can also have excellent internet while not being linked to the aircraft. Diagnose these as separate systems.

13. Beginner Guide

The Beginner Guide appears when an operator enters Operation View for the first time and explains interface icons. It can be reset so another user can see the walkthrough later.

This is useful for orientation, but it is not formal flight training. A new Canadian operator still needs the pilot privileges, aircraft knowledge, site procedures and pesticide training applicable to the mission.

14. Document Management: The Controller’s Mission Library

Document Management organizes the data objects that make repeatable agricultural operations possible.

Data type Purpose Key management risk
Planned Fields Saved field boundaries and planning information Wrong team, duplicate fields or poor naming
Tasks in Progress Partially completed operations Accidentally finishing/deleting a task that should be resumed
Task Templates Preset spraying/spreading parameters Using an old template for a different material/product
Materials Spreading-material calibration profiles Material or feeder no longer matching calibration
Reconstruction Output Processed mapping results Using stale or wrong-site reconstruction
Prescription Maps Variable-rate application datasets Wrong field, layer, units, rate or product

These records can exist locally on the controller, in the DJI Agriculture cloud or on microSD storage. Knowing the storage location is essential before deleting, transferring or troubleshooting.

15. Using a microSD Card

The source tutorial describes importing supported field and prescription-map data from a microSD card. Removable storage can be useful when connectivity is poor or when data is prepared on another computer.

Use a deliberate folder and naming system. Do not carry “Field_Final,” “Field_Final2,” “Field_NewFinal” and “Field_ReallyFinal” into a commercial operation without knowing which one is authoritative.

Before Importing From microSD

  • Confirm the card is recognized.
  • Confirm the file/data type is supported.
  • Confirm the farm and field identity.
  • Confirm date/version.
  • Confirm units.
  • Confirm the prescription or boundary matches the intended treatment.

16. Planned Fields

The Planned Field section stores field records. The source video shows sorting by time and distance, categorizing by field type, searching, renaming, uploading, deleting and batch actions. Cloud fields can also be downloaded.

Recommended Canadian Field-Naming Convention

Use names that remain understandable to another operator months later. For example:

Client_Farm_Field_Province_Year

or

Farm_NorthQuarter_Canola_2026

A good field name reduces duplicate planning and makes support discussions much easier.

Before Bulk Deletion

  1. Verify the logged-in account.
  2. Verify the Agras Team.
  3. Verify whether each field is local, cloud or both.
  4. Verify any required backup.
  5. Review every selected record.
  6. Only then confirm deletion.

17. Tasks in Progress

Tasks in Progress stores missions that were started but not completed. Agricultural work is frequently interrupted by battery changes, tank refills, weather, daylight, field access, equipment service or deliberate pauses.

Instead of rebuilding the mission, the operator can retrieve the unfinished task and resume it. Before doing so, recheck the actual field conditions. A route that was appropriate yesterday may require a new wind, obstacle, product, buffer or weather assessment today.

18. Task Templates

Task Templates store preset spraying or spreading parameters. They can save time and improve consistency across recurring jobs, but they are not self-validating.

Before using a template, confirm:

  • Correct aircraft and payload system.
  • Correct field and crop.
  • Correct material or pesticide.
  • Correct application rate.
  • Correct droplet or spreading configuration.
  • Correct route height and speed.
  • Correct unit system.
  • Current label and regulatory requirements.
  • Current weather and field conditions.

For pesticide spraying in Canada, a saved template cannot override the current PMRA label. If the label changes, the template must be reviewed before reuse.

19. Material Profiles for Spreading

The Material section stores spreading-material profiles. Calibration establishes the relationship between the material, feeder/opening behaviour and flow. This allows the controller to reuse known settings for a compatible material/configuration.

Material density, granule size, coating, moisture, blend composition and feeder hardware can change the real flow relationship. Treat a materially different product or changed feeder as a reason to verify or recalibrate instead of assuming the old profile remains valid.

For T100 spreading setup, use the Canadian DJI T100 Spreading System Programming & Calibration Tutorial.

20. Reconstruction Output

Reconstruction Output stores processed results from supported field or orchard/fruit-tree mapping workflows. Those results can support field planning and, where supported, editing three-dimensional routes.

Reconstruction data should be treated as mission input, not decorative imagery. Confirm it represents the current site. New structures, tree growth, wires, irrigation equipment or terrain changes can make old mapping insufficient for a current operation.

21. Prescription Maps and Variable-Rate Application

Prescription maps define spatially variable application instructions. They may originate from multispectral imagery, agronomic analysis or another compatible prescription workflow.

The controller’s job is to store/import and execute the compatible task. The controller does not determine whether the upstream agronomic prescription was correct.

Prescription Map Verification

  • Correct farm and field.
  • Correct crop and treatment date.
  • Correct prescription layer.
  • Correct product/material.
  • Correct rate units.
  • Correct maximum/minimum rates.
  • Correct boundary and exclusion zones.
  • Correct current pesticide-label use pattern where applicable.
A technically valid prescription file can still create the wrong application if it belongs to the wrong field, uses the wrong units or commands a rate that does not comply with the current product label.

22. How to Upload DJI Agras Logs After a Malfunction

Log Upload is one of the most valuable service functions on the controller. When an aircraft, remote, positioning system, battery/charging device or payload system behaves abnormally, the associated logs may help DJI or a dealer determine what happened.

  1. Open Log Upload.
  2. Select the issue category that best matches the malfunction.
  3. Locate the logs or flight records from the time of the event.
  4. Select the relevant records.
  5. Upload them using a stable internet connection.
  6. Wait for the upload to complete.
  7. Capture the generated diagnostic QR code/reference.
  8. Write a concise description of the event.
  9. Include aircraft model, approximate time, task type, warning text, repeatability and recent hardware/firmware changes.
  10. Send the diagnostic package to the appropriate DJI Agriculture service channel or dealer.
Do not clear controller logs immediately after an unexplained incident. The data from that event may be the most useful diagnostic evidence available.

23. What Information Should Accompany a Log Upload?

  • Aircraft model and fleet identifier.
  • Remote-controller model if relevant.
  • Exact warning or error code.
  • Approximate local time of the event.
  • What the aircraft was doing immediately before the fault.
  • Whether spraying/spreading was active.
  • Battery and charging equipment involved if relevant.
  • RTK or network state.
  • Recent firmware, repair or component change.
  • Whether the fault repeats.
  • Photos of visible damage.
  • Screenshot/screen recording if available.
  • Diagnostic QR/log reference.

If the fault points toward a replacement component, contact Ares Acres with the same information so the part-identification process starts from evidence rather than guesswork.

24. Device Management

Device Management shows supported connected hardware and firmware information. The source video describes using this area to review or update firmware and to activate or check accessories such as D-RTK equipment, charging devices and DJI Relay.

Before a major operating window, review the fleet as a system rather than checking only the aircraft. Controller, aircraft, batteries, charging infrastructure, RTK, relay and payload components can all influence the mission.

25. Firmware Management for Commercial Fleets

A “new version available” message should trigger review, not blind panic and not indefinite avoidance. Firmware can contain safety improvements, compatibility changes, new functions or bug fixes. Commercial operators benefit from controlled deployment.

Before a Non-Emergency Fleet-Wide Update

  • Review DJI release information where available.
  • Confirm compatibility across aircraft, controller and connected accessories.
  • Preserve critical fields, templates and records.
  • Use reliable power and internet.
  • Update during a maintenance window when practical.
  • Test the updated system before deploying the entire fleet where operationally appropriate.
  • Do not postpone urgent safety instructions merely to preserve an older configuration.

26. D-RTK Device Management

Device Management can be used to activate or review supported D-RTK equipment. RTK is a precision-positioning system, and its status should be confirmed before relying on it for field boundaries or autonomous routes.

For the complete Canadian precision-positioning workflow, use the DJI Agras T100 D-RTK 3 Tutorial (Canada).

27. Charging Device and Generator Management

The source tutorial describes connecting supported DJI charging equipment or a generator through USB-C for activation or status inspection. Depending on the device and controller generation, the interface can show information such as activation status and other equipment data.

If a charging device is not recognized, check device power, controller port, cable, compatibility and firmware before assuming a failed board or charger.

28. DJI Relay Management

Supported DJI Relay hardware can also be activated or checked through the device-management ecosystem. Relay addresses communications/link geometry; RTK addresses precision positioning. Do not confuse the two systems during diagnosis.

Use the DJI Agras T100 Relay Tutorial for deeper operating context.

29. Recommended Canadian Pre-Operation Controller Workflow

  1. Power on the remote controller.
  2. Confirm the correct DJI Agriculture account.
  3. Confirm the correct Agras Team.
  4. Check controller battery and external battery if used.
  5. Check network status when cloud-dependent functions are needed.
  6. Review relevant messages.
  7. Verify measurement units.
  8. Confirm required fields and tasks are available.
  9. Confirm important cloud data has synchronized.
  10. Check aircraft connection status.
  11. Review Device Management when firmware or accessory status matters.
  12. Confirm D-RTK/Relay/charging-device status as applicable.
  13. Enter Operation View.
  14. Verify the field, route, payload, application settings and weather.
  15. Confirm the exact aircraft and mission satisfy the applicable Transport Canada framework.
  16. For pesticide work, verify the current PMRA label and provincial/territorial requirements.
  17. Complete the aircraft-specific preflight before starting work.

30. Common DJI Agras Main-Interface Problems

Problem Likely cause First checks
Field is missing Wrong team, cloud-only/local-only data, deletion Check account, team and storage location
Flight records will not sync No internet, unstable service, account issue Run Network Diagnosis; use reliable Wi-Fi
Cloud download unavailable Connectivity or account/team mismatch Check network and team selection
Prescription map missing Wrong storage location or import issue Check microSD, local documents and cloud source
Controller storage full Logs, recordings, maps, cache Back up important data, then use Storage Management
Device will not activate Cable, network, account, compatibility Check connection and current device requirements
Firmware update fails Weak network, insufficient power, compatibility Use stable internet and adequate power
Dealer cannot diagnose fault Wrong logs or poor event description Upload logs from exact time and provide context
Task template gives wrong rate Wrong unit/material/product or stale settings Stop and validate the complete task configuration
Controller shows data but operation is not legally eligible Operational data confused with authorization Verify Transport Canada and PMRA/provincial requirements separately

31. Common Operator Mistakes

  1. Starting without checking the active Agras Team.
  2. Creating duplicate fields because the original belongs to another team.
  3. Deleting local data before confirming synchronization.
  4. Using inconsistent field names across a Canadian fleet.
  5. Copying a rate without its units.
  6. Assuming acres and hectares are interchangeable in a task template.
  7. Reusing a spraying template without reading the current pesticide label.
  8. Assuming a material calibration remains correct after changing feeder or material.
  9. Importing a prescription map without verifying field and rate units.
  10. Clearing logs after a malfunction before support reviews them.
  11. Attempting firmware updates over weak field connectivity when reliable shop Wi-Fi is available.
  12. Assuming a connected aircraft means the full system is ready to fly.
  13. Assuming controller records alone prove regulatory compliance.
  14. Using outdated blanket statements about SFOC requirements for every aircraft over 25 kg.
  15. Ignoring the exact aircraft’s Safety Assurance eligibility for Advanced or Level 1 Complex operations.

32. Transport Canada Context for Controller Data

Canada’s RPAS rules changed on November 4, 2025. Medium drones—more than 25 kg and not more than 150 kg—can now be used in certain VLOS Advanced Operations when the pilot, aircraft and operation satisfy the applicable requirements. Some additional operations fit Level 1 Complex privileges, while special operations outside the normal frameworks can still require an SFOC.

For Advanced and Level 1 Complex operations involving relevant aircraft, the exact model/configuration must have the applicable RPAS Safety Assurance for the intended operation. The controller’s flight history does not create that declaration or substitute for required airspace authorization.

Controller records can still be valuable evidence for fleet management, route review, troubleshooting and internal QA. Preserve them deliberately, especially for unusual events.

33. Health Canada PMRA Context for Task and Prescription Data

A saved task template or prescription map is a set of operational instructions; it is not a pesticide registration. Before executing a pesticide mission, the operator must confirm that the current product label supports the intended use.

Health Canada’s SPN2026-02, published June 30, 2026, allows RPAS application under the current policy for certain products already registered for conventional aerial application when the label permits aerial use and does not prohibit RPAS. The aerial directions still control application rate, minimum spray volume, droplet requirements, buffer zones and other conditions. Provincial and territorial pesticide rules remain relevant.

If an old controller template commands a spray volume below the current labelled aerial minimum, the template must not be used merely because it exists in the controller.

34. Recordkeeping: What the Controller Can and Cannot Prove

Controller data may help document Controller data may not automatically prove
Field/task identity That the pesticide use was legal under the current label
Flight timing Every required weather observation
Route geometry That every regulatory separation requirement was met
Application settings That the correct product was physically loaded
Area completed That provincial applicator-licence conditions were satisfied
Warnings and status That the operator responded correctly to every warning
Diagnostic logs That the exact aircraft had the required Safety Assurance for the operation

Use controller data as one part of a complete record system rather than the sole source of truth.

Should every Canadian controller use metric units?

Use the unit system appropriate to your organization and mission. The critical requirement is consistency and explicit units, especially when agriculture workflows mix acres/hectares or other conventions.

Do DJI flight records replace Transport Canada records?

Do not assume so. Retain whatever records are required for the exact operating category, authorization, company SOP and mission.

Do controller records replace pesticide application records?

No. Preserve the information required by the applicable pesticide program, province/territory, customer and company.

Does every DJI Agras over 25 kg require an SFOC?

Not automatically after the November 2025 rule changes. Some medium-drone VLOS operations can fit the Advanced framework when all requirements are met. Other operations can require Level 1 Complex privileges or an SFOC.

Does seeing an aircraft connected in the controller mean it is Safety Assurance eligible?

No. Verify the exact model/configuration against Transport Canada’s current Safety Assurance information for the intended operation.

Can an old prescription map be used after a pesticide label changes?

Only after verifying the current prescription still fits the current legal label and agronomic plan. Stored data does not override a current label.

What changed for RPAS pesticide spraying in Canada in 2026?

Health Canada SPN2026-02 established a policy allowing RPAS use for certain products already registered for conventional aerial application when the label permits aerial application and does not prohibit RPAS, provided all aerial directions are followed.

Can a drone use a lower spray volume than the aerial label minimum?

No. Current PMRA policy specifically requires the minimum aerial spray volume on the label to be respected.

Final Operator Takeaway

The DJI Agras main interface is the operational memory of the aircraft ecosystem. It connects the pilot to accounts, teams, fields, unfinished missions, task templates, material calibrations, prescription maps, logs, firmware, RTK equipment, charging devices and the aircraft itself.

The most valuable habit is data discipline: correct account → correct team → correct units → correct field → correct task → correct material/product → correct device status → correct regulatory framework → operation → synchronized records → preserved diagnostic evidence.

For Canadian fleets, that discipline is especially useful because agricultural operations often combine aviation rules, pesticide rules, provincial requirements, customer records and mixed measurement conventions. The controller can help organize the mission, but the operator still has to verify that the mission and application are correct outside the screen.


Educational, operational, data-management and regulatory notice: This Canadian article expands the supplied DJI Agras remote-controller training workflow and reflects publicly available Canadian regulatory context as of September 10, 2026. DJI interface names, cloud behaviour, firmware, device compatibility, Transport Canada operating categories, RPAS Safety Assurance declarations, SFOC requirements, airspace permissions, Health Canada PMRA policies, pesticide labels and provincial or territorial recordkeeping requirements can change. Always verify current DJI and regulatory information for the exact aircraft, controller, field, pesticide and mission before operation.
