RadarGUI
|
RadarGUI allows you to process and view weather data with LibNNids II,
load data from files, and receive live data streams from libradar_stp
(RSTP/TCP/IP protocol) and libradar_dtp_ax25 (RSTP/AX.25 protocol), as
long as you have the appropriate software installed. You'll of course
need LibNNids II, and the live data stream software is optional.
When building from source, note that RadarGUI requires a wxWidgets
installation which was configured with the --enable-stl option. The author
has found that Fedora Core 6 RPMs for wxGTK are not built with this option,
so an installation of RadarGUI on this platform requires a wxGTK build from
source.

Operating Instructions
To connect to a live datastream:
Click "Connect->Connection Manager"
You can now create new RSTP and RDTP connections. You can also bring
configured connections up and down, and view connection status.
You'll need to get connection parameters from your network
administrator.
On viewing data:
As data is received or loaded from files you will see codes appear in
the list boxes at the left of the screen. To view data, first click
the appropriate originating station ICAO identifier. Then a list of
AWIPS PIDs available will appear. Click the AWIPS PID you are
interested in. Then a history list will appear with numbers between
1 and 10. 1 is the most recent version of the product you have
selected, and 10 is the oldest. Click 1 to see the most recent
version.
Loop functionality is available through the loop menu. The zoom
feature is easy to learn: Click on a point with the left mouse button
to zoom in, and click with the right mouse button to recenter on that
point. To zoom out or reset use the zoom menu.
