7. OUTPUT DATA FORMAT

7.1. Data File Type 1 (csv)

1) Record unit
Add a file to folder in computer for each setting cycle (e.g., 60 sec.).
It is possible to set up a save folder.
2) Record file name
Outputs file extension: csv
Form: DATE_TIME_DATAKIND_ElevationAngle.csv (YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_xx._###csv).
e.g., Output the Rainfall intensity "01/10/2012 9:37:26" → "20121001_093726_Rain_000.csv".
Output data types are shown below:
R: Rainfall intensity [mm/h]
Zh: Reflective factor (Horizontal) [dBZ]
Zv: Reflectivity factor (Vertical) [dBZ]
V: Doppler velocity [m/s]
Zdr: Radar reflectivity factor difference [dB]
Kdp: Propagation phase difference rate of change [deg/km]
