2.2 AviMet Product Platform
Vaisala AviMet
â
Low-Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS) is part of the AviMet
technology platform. Other major systems based on the platform are:
• Vaisala AviMet
â
Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS)
• Vaisala AviMet
â
Runway Visual Range System (RVR)
The LLWAS system can be an independent system or fully integrated into the AviMet
â
AWOS system. The instructions in this manual generally cover both versions, but if using the
integrated version, note the differences specified in the manual.
The systems can be one of the following types:
• A single-CDU system with workstations
• A single-CDU system without workstations
• A duplicated system with two CDUs with workstations
• A duplicated system with two CDUs without workstations
In a duplicated system both central data units process the same data. If one of the CDUs
fails, the other CDU continues working transparently to users and without any disruption to
system performance. A CDU may be used as an end-user workstation, too.
For more information on the CDU types, see

2.3 System Configuration
Vaisala AviMet systems are always configured individually for each airport to meet the local
requirements. During system delivery, Vaisala personnel will define the system parameters
and the layout of some application windows. This is typical especially with end-user
applications. For instance, the content of the weather data screens in the WeatherView
application can be configured according to user preferences.
System configuration is only allowed by authorized Vaisala personnel.
CAUTION!
This manual provides a description of the end-user applications and functions of the system.
Your system might not include all the applications that are available in AviMet systems. Thus,
your system might differ slightly from what is presented in this manual.
