RAW products are made one-for-one from ingest files.
A
RAW
file contains all the information collected during a measurement task. It is
compressed so it can be sent over the network to IRIS Analysis.
While
RAW data cannot be displayed, it is useful for recording on tape/disk/DVD or
transferring to another IRIS network computer for product generation.
When a
RAW product file is either retrieved from tape or received from another IRIS
computer, an ingest file is created so that products can be generated. The RAW product is

IRIS Analysis system (not necessarily the radar host) so products can be generated for
analysis or testing.
