4. SPIDAR Software
The SPIDAR Software allows the user to:
•
Configure and setup data collection parameters
•
Setup unique parameters for each antenna
•
Control data acquisition
•
Manage and export data from the NIC-500
During Line Scan operation, the data is displayed for the user to ensure that the system is
running properly and collecting data. The software is not designed for reviewing, in-depth
analysis or processing of data; this should be done in EKKO_Project.
4.1 Main screen
Once connected to the NIC-500, the Welcome screen will be displayed (Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1: Welcome screen
On the left side of the top menu bar there is a button with three horizontal bars (often called a
Hamburger button). Clicking on this button will produce a menu with 5 options, as well as a
slider button for the background theme and shutdown button (Figure 4-2).
The 5 menu options correspond to the same options shown on the welcome screen. Clicking
on an option (either on the menu, or on the Welcome screen) will change the main window
display accordingly. Each option is explained in the following sections.
