Vaisala IRIS, User Manual

• Real-Time Network System: RAW products are sent to another IRIS computer and the
product generation is done there rather than by the radar host. This off-loads some of
the processing burden from the radar host onto other network computers that may be
less busy. This is valuable if you want to generate products that are not normally
produced by the radar host.

Associating Products with Tasks (page 17)
3.14.1 Configuring RAW products
1. Select Menu > Product Configuration .
2. Select Type > RAW .
3. Select the button next to the task name, and select a task from list.
Vaisala recommends you give a RAW product the same name as its associated task.
4. To copy the product files over a slow network connection, select Make sweep-by-
sweep? > On
5. To filter the RAW product to only include some of the data types of the original data,
deselect Include All Data .
For example, you might want to send all data to a research customer but skip sending
the dual-pol data to a simple display computer.
Vaisala recommends that you leave Include All Data enabled until a need arises to
limit data types.
If you use a wild card, you cannot merge data from hybrid tasks into one file.
6. Select File > Save as and give a name for the RAW file.
3.14.2 Recording RAW Data Automatically
You can configure a RAW product automatically when the associated task runs.
Because RAW products require substantial disk space, it is best to record them "on the
fly," so they are not automatically deleted by the disk Watchdog .
