Vaisala IRIS, User Manual

Page: 206 / 394

If you log on to a system where IRIS is already running but there is no X session running
(for example, screen lock or log out), the windows appear after a few minutes. It takes
IRIS a little while to realize you are back.
After a window is up, there is no way to get rid of it except to minimize it where it is handy
for quick viewing because weather images are always available and users cannot shutdown
windows inadvertently. The minimize window shows a small thumbnail picture of the image
in the display.
If a window crashes, radar operation and other IRIS functions continue normally and the
window restarts automatically after a minute or two.
6.3 QLW Control and Monitoring

display live data. The update indicator is next to the tool area
OPT button.
