IO Terminal
The IO Terminal application is used for connecting to sensors and field 
devices through a communication port. When there is an open terminal 
connection to the device, you can monitor the messages it sends and send 
commands to check and modify the device status. 
Sensor Selector (Optional)
With Sensor Selector you can disable a faulty sensor or a sensor that is 
being maintained. Data from the disabled sensor will not be published for 
use in other system processes.
Playback Feature (Optional)
Playback is a feature that allows the user to replay data from a specific 
period of time in the past as it was displayed on the screen. The feature can 
be integrated with an AviMet application, typically with a Weather View 
screen.
Workstation Types
The Vaisala AviMet systems typically include different workstations for 
the following groups of users:
- Air traffic controllers (Weather View Workstation, WV)
- Observers (Observer Workstation, OWS)
- Forecasters (Forecaster Workstation, FWS)
- System maintenance personnel (RCM Workstation)
The number of different workstations in the system depends on the 
configuration of the system. Each workstation type has a preconfigured 
workstation environment. Vaisala configures the user profiles (for 
example, OWSUSER, FWSUSER, WVUSER, and RCM user) for the 
workstations.
The following software applications are installed in end-user workstations:
- AviMet software applications (as appropriate).
- Operating system: Windows® 7 Professional (Windows® XP 
Professional in upgrades).
