Rotors and spray heads can be set at different patterns, like full circle, half circle etc. Without requiring the user to deep dive into calculations (custom), is it possible to allow the user interface to include the option to change the diameter of the head, like 360 degrees spray? The calculation should not be difficult.

  Yes, we are discussing something similar, an advanced setup for sprinkler head (nozzle size, arc, pressure) to get a close to reality precipitation rate. 

  Still unsure that a catch cup test wouldn't be easier to perform than all this parameters that most customers don't know them.

  I agree with your opinion totally.  You can however offer an adjustment to a head, like 90, 180, 270, full circle as adjustments without deep diving. So choose Rotor, then set to 180 arc.

  I have 72 heads, rotors and spray set at 360, 180, 90.  No simple way to set that in your present interface.

  Example, My Zone 1 has rotors set at 180 degrees, Zone 2 Rotors at 360 degrees.  Your recommended time is 39 minutes, really close to what I have. However you also say the Zone 1 is 39 minutes, which is twice as long as it needs to be, thus wasting water.
