4.3.1 Starting and Exiting WeatherView
Depending on your user profile and system configuration, the WeatherView application may
start automatically when you log in to an AviMet workstation, or you can open it using the
WeatherView shortcut icon, for example, in the desktop. Depending on the configuration,
WeatherView will open in full screen mode, or in the standard application mode.
The application must be open at all times to ensure that the system can update the data on
the screen. When you do not need to view the WeatherView data, you can minimize the
WeatherView application.
If you close WeatherView, you cannot view or hear windshear and
microburst alerts.
CAUTION!
Do not exit the WeatherView application unless you have a special reason,
such as system maintenance.
CAUTION!
