Auto Viewer

The host software can be used as a measurement data monitor, even if the host PC is not connected to a radiometer. In this case the data source is a Source Directory, to which data files are transferred. A possible scenario could be a PC that is regularly receiving data files from a server. With the Auto Viewer function, this PC can be configured to show the measurement data samples, contained in the data files, in the same way as if it would receive data from a radiometer in a measurement. It is also possible to define a target directory to store the data files as hourly files. After all data samples of a source file have been displayed, the file is automatically deleted from the Source Directory.
The Auto Viewer Setup menu lists the auto viewer’s Source Directory where it looks for data files to be displayed. In addition the Target Directory can be defined where the results of the auto viewer process are stored if Store to Archive is checked.
The Product Scan List summarizes the selected products to be taken from the Source Directory and diplayed afterwards. The display speed can be set between original speed (one sample per second) up to 200 times faster.
The Viewer is activated by clicking Start Viewer, halted by clicking Halt Viewer and terminated with Terminate Viewer. In addition the user can automatically add the generation of ASCII, netCDF or BUFR format data files by checking the respective format(s) in the Data Directory Menu.
