6.9.2 Stormscope
NOTE
The Stormscope pages are only available if
the WX-500 is connected to the RS-232
channel that is configured for the WX-500.
6.9.2.1 Stormscope
Access the Stormscope Configuration page, as
shown in Figure 6-36, by touching the 'Configure' key on the Stormscope page. The L3 Communications
WX-500 Stormscope configuration is reported by the WX-500 through RS-232 data.
Verify the Status field indicates "Ok", and that the
other displayed parameters are correct based upon
the installation. See the configuration information in
the WX-500 Installation Manual to determine the
correct configuration.
When a GTN is interfaced with a WX-500
Stormscope, the "Synchro" or "Serial" heading
formats may be used. If another heading format is
used, lightning strike information is visible on the
Weather Page, but not the Map Page.
6.9.2.2 Stormscope
Access the Stormscope Test page, as shown in
Figure 6-37 by touching the 'Test' key from the
Stormscope page. This page shows current strike
activity, WX-500 status, and the heading supplied by
the WX-500. The WX-500 mode may be changed to
Cell, Strike, Noise, Strike Test, Self Test, and Demo by
touching the 'Menu' key and displaying the
Stormscope Test Menu, as shown in Figure 6-38.
The strikes can be cleared from the display by
touching the 'Clear Strikes' key. The view can be
changed by touching the 360˚ key or the Arc key.
Verify that the WX-500 mode can be changed. Refer
to the WX-500 manual for specific installation test
procedures for the WX-500, using this page to view
strike data, change the WX-500 mode, view WX-500
status, trigger count, and heading.
