7 Detailed description of the MRR-2 control program
The MRR-2 generates Doppler spectra at 31 height ranges. The data
processing is performed by a DSP which is located in the Radar Control and
Processing Device (RCPD) at the antenna. The measured data are
transmitted by a serial RS-422 port, in the Junction Box this signal is
converted to RS232 level. 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 recording of the data can be done with the MRR-2-control program
described below.
The software is divided into two components :
MRR-Service
Control Program
The MRR-Service communicates directly with the connected MRR-2 and the
Control program performs the operational control of the MRR-2 using the
MRR-Service. 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
