Radar parameters in Binary file
Choose a type of parameter: R [mm/h], Zh [dBz], V [m/s], W [m/s], Quality
3) Radar Site Location
Latitude [deg]
Setup the latitude of the installed point.
Longitude [deg]
Setup the longitude of the installed point.
Altitude [m]
Setup the altitude of the installed point.
Map data path
Setup an indication map for RainMap.
This program treats as the equidistant cylindrical
projection.
Map left top lat [deg]
Setup the latitude of left top corner of Map Image.
Map left top lon [deg]
Setup the longitude of left top corner of Map
Image.
4) Scan set
There are 5 scan patterns that could customize and save a setting.
Notice: Follow a value of the management list Setup on scan pattern 1.
Scan mode
Select the scan mode of antenna.
・ PPI scan (2D data): [Plan Position Indicator scan]
It will continuous equiangular 360 degree horizontal rotation mode at a single selectable
elevation. It generates 2 dimension data.
・ Sector RHI scan (3D data): [Sector Range Height Indicator scan] (ref. Fig.1)
It scans vertically (RHI) slightly move horizontal continuously within a preset azimuth.
Elevation range generates 3 dimension rectangular solid angle data. Horizontal data would
not be saved.
It is continue moving to the azimuth direction with clockwise and counter clockwise as 1 set.
・ Volume scan (3D data): (ref. Fig.2)
This is the mode to activate PPI scan to change the elevation angle up to 32 steps.
It starts with the basic time (It comes with VOLUME Period and RainMap time indication).
・Sector PPI scan (3D data): [SPPI]: [Sector Plan Position Indicator scan] (ref. Fig.3)
It scans horizontally within a preset azimuth area while changing elevation based on up to
32 possible values. It generates 3 dimension rectangular solid angle data. Scanning volume
of SRHI and SPPI are the same.
Only the difference is SRHI scan in vertical plane and SPPI scans in horizontal plane.
PPI scan:
EL angle [deg]
Setup an angle of antenna's elevation during PPI
mode.
AZ rotation speed [rpm]
Setup a rotation speed of azimuth in rotation per
minutes (rpm).
Parameters affect only to PPI mode
Map right bottom lat [deg]
Setup the latitude of bottom right
corner of Map Image.
Map right bottom lon [deg]
Setup the longitude of bottom right
corner of Map Image.
