Data Display Menus

For each measurement data product a display window is available.
All data display menus indicate start time, end time, time reference, duration, and retrieval algorithm (for retrieval products). Furthermore Print (prints window on standard printer) and Bitmap (same as Alt-Print Screen) functions are available. 
One may zoom into the data by pressing the left mouse button in the display area and drag the mouse to a different position (mouse button still pressed) to define a rectangle (indicated by a black frame). For zooming back click Zoom Out.
For coloured maps as profile charts and brightness temperature charts, by clicking Select Profile and moving the mouse into the display area, the cursor changes its appearance (||). When clicking on the display area, another window is opened showing the line profile or profile at the time point corresponding to the cursor position. A right mouse button click exits the profile selection mode.
By clicking on Time Series and moving the mouse into the display area the cursor changes its appearance (     ). When clicking on the display area another window is opened showing the time series related to a certain altitude or frequency. A right mouse button click exits the time series selection mode.
Brightness temperature data files always contain the elevation angle information for each sample. The elevation angle display can be toggled (Show Angles, Blank Angle).
You can enter contour values in the profile charts (with Add and Del) to be plotted as lines in the coloured display. With Redr (Redraw) the display is updated according to the newest contour list. The contour lines are turned on and off with On and Off. 
All display menus show the time series of measured data with a rain flag stored for each sample in the data file. This flag is indicated underneath the data plot labelled with RF. During rain events, the flag is coloured in blue and otherwise in red.
Profile and line charts display a legend with a colour code bar. By clicking on the dark grey shaded area of the legend, a sub-menu pops up. When Auto Scaling is checked, the program automatically uses the minimum and maximum numbers for the colour axis limits. When Auto Scaling is turned off, these limits are taken from the two entry lines labeled with Color-Axis Min and Color-Axis Max. Exiting this menu with OK will initiate a new plot with different colour coding.   
The profile display windows offer a similar feature. By double-clicking on the display area in these windows a similar menu is displayed which allows for automatic or manual scaling of the temperature and humidity axis’ in these menus.
Another type of data display is the scalar type time series like LWP, IWV, meteorological sensors, infrared radiometer temperature or stability indices. No colour code is required because the data type is scalar instead of a vector (e.g. a profile). The Display Stability Indices menu has a special information feature. By double-clicking on one of the index labels, a text file is shown with information about the index definition and thresholds for severe weather conditions.
