To activate this output, select Diagnostic at the bottom of the DWELL Configuration Menu .
Note that diagnostic output is produced even if you later disable the target warning, as long
as the diagnostic button is enabled.
The diagnostic outputs are stored as type
USER
products. The naming convention is as
follows:
• USER: < productname >DAT or TIM
The main output of the DWELL product is a product of the same type as the input
product (for example, a PPI ) for either the input product data type (for example, dBZ)
or time (age).
The diagnostic
USER product is for the data type that was not selected for the main
output.
For example, if
dBZ is selected for the main output, the diagnostic USER product is for
the time ( TIM suffix). If time is selected for the main output, the diagnostic USER
product is for the input data type ( DAT suffix).
• USER: < productname >CON
If the contrast filter is enabled, the diagnostic USER product with the suffix CON shows
the background field. For an example, see DWELL Algorithm Examples (page 140) .
• USER: < productname >PIL
If target warning is enabled, the diagnostic USER product with the suffix PIL shows the
"pile" product, that is, the number of target hits per pixel (X4) for the first in the
sequence of the assumed motion vectors (that is, the first trial).
For diagnostic work, the target Warning can be configured to run a single motion
vector so that any speed and direction can be isolated for study.
