Detailed description of the MRR-2 control program
The MRR-2 generates Doppler spectra at 31 height ranges. The data pro-
cessing is performed by a DSP which is located in the Radar Control and Pro-
cessing Device (RCPD) at the antenna. The measured data are transmitted by
a serial RS-232 port. This port is also used for the device control. If the MRR-2
is connected to a PC, the control, the calculation of further values, and the re-
cording of the data can be done with the MRR-2-control program described
below.
The software is divided into two components :
Communication-, Data-, and Error- Service (CDES)
Control Program User Interface (CPUI)
DCES communicates directly with the connected MRR-2, and CPUI performs
the operational control of the MRR-2 using CDES. By means of this the user
can interrogate or change the system status in a comfortable way.
Windows® Service Programs
Service programs are software components, which are started automatically
when the machine is turned on and the operating system boots. They offer
their „services‟ e.g. control functions and data to other programs. The man-
agement of those programs must be provided by the operating system. The
starting of a service program needs no manual operation. Only take care that
the corresponding service is not deactivated.
Various details of the usage of services depend on the operating system. For
this reason the used operating system must be Windows® 2000 or XP. (Win-
dows® Vista and Windows 7 are not supported).
