System Configuration
Vaisala AviMet systems are always configured individually for each 
airport to meet the local requirements. During system delivery, Vaisala 
personnel will define the system parameters and the layout of some 
application windows. This is typical especially with end-user applications. 
For instance, the content of the weather data screens in the Weather View 
application can be configured according to user preferences.
System maintenance applications (the ones documented in this 
maintenance manual) are typically not customized.
This manual provides a description of all the maintenance applications and 
functions of the system.
Your system might not include all the applications that are available in 
AviMet systems. Thus, your system might differ slightly from what is 
presented in this manual.
Use of Anti-Virus Software
AviMet software has been designed to be run on closed and secured 
networks. 
Although typically the AviMet software runs on computers that have anti-
virus software running, it is known that anti-virus software can have 
functions that significantly consume computer resources. This may affect 
the AviMet Software performance and some of the anti-virus software 
functionalities cannot be used when AviMet system is in operational use. 
CAUTION
System configuration is only allowed by authorized Vaisala personnel.
CAUTION
Unauthorized editing of configuration files (.INI files) can result in data 
loss and incorrect operation of the AviMet system. Vaisala assumes no 
liability for system errors caused by unauthorized editing of the 
configuration files.
WARNING
To ensure proper functioning of the AviMet software, always consult 
Vaisala about using any anti-virus software. When AviMet system is in 
operational use, software anti-virus functionalities, especially automatic 
updates and blocking, cannot be used.
