E11. How does WaveView store data?
A: All raw, processed and spectra data, with time tags, may be stored on the hard disk in a
structured folder system. An additional text file is created every time the software is activated
to log all actions, changes and events that are made to the display and data storage. This
also logs any errors detected during processing or communications, while the software is
running.
E12. Can we obtain a slave display of the WaveView screen?
A: No. Only the ASCII serial output stream of processed data, updated and transmitted
every minute, can be displayed on the remote VDU.
E13. What is the WaveView “on screen information”?
A: Raw range data plus all processed parameters are presented in numerical and
graphical format on a single screen display. The graphical display (strip chart) can be
switched between parameters. Its time base and scaling can be changed by active user
controls. Data storage and system information is also displayed.
E14. How do I know if WaveView is receiving data from the WaveRadar Rex?
A: The incoming raw data string is displayed in the input stream window in HEX with the
distance measurement and the radar status information converted to decimal.
E15. Can WaveView give a warning if Hs exceeds a particular value?
A: WaveView can be operator configured to present a visual alarm if selected parameters
fall or rise above user defined levels. There are two levels available: “red” (warning) and
“amber” (caution).
E16. Can I run WaveView and use other programs as well?
A: Yes. The software will function normally in the minimised position and other programs
can be operated so long as they do not conflict with the communications ports being used by
WaveView.
E17. Does WaveView check for errors in the WaveRadar REX data?
A: Yes. The checks include readings that are outside the possible measured range and
unchanged readings.
E18. Does WaveView have system status information?
A: Yes. A visual indication of PC time and date, HDD storage data and error conditions
are contained within the screen display.
