3. Radar Site Location
Latitude [deg]:
Enter latitude of radar installed location.
Longitude [deg]:
Enter longitude of radar installed location.
Altitude [m]:
Enter the altitude of radar installed location.
Map data path:
Setup a background map for RainMap.
The RainMap program displays map as a
cylindrical projection layer.
Map left top lat [deg]:
Setup the latitude of left top corner of Map Image.
4. Scan
There are 5 scan patterns that can be customize and
saved in settings.
Note:
This item is possible to change the setting even when the
radar is observing.
However it is necessary to click [STBY] and [TX] again for
reflecting the changes in the scan setting while observing.
Scan mode:
Select the scan mode of antenna.
Volume scan modes. It is recommended that an
azimuth direction rotation speed of less than 7.0
[rpm] to maintain observation accuracy.
PPI scan [2D data]
[Plan Position Indicator scan]
Maintains a continuous equiangular 360 degree horizontal rotation at a single selectable elevation. It is
used to observe one set elevation continuously in a 360 degree radius.
Example of Setting:
To observe a 3.5 [deg] elevation angle at a
rotational speed of 7.0 [rpm] in a 360 degree
azimuth radius set as shown in Table 2.2 .
Sector RHI scan [3D data] (Refer to Figure 2.6)
[Sector Range Height Indicator scan]
Map left top lon [deg]:
Setup the longitude of left top corner of
Map Image.
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".
