• Name of the window that was assigned by the operator in Setup > Output.
The example shows the name wind #1.
• Zoom level selected in the View tool.
The example shows X 1, indicating no zoom.
• Window size in pixels selected in the View tool.
This refers to the size of the image area. The actual window size is larger because of the
borders and legends.
• The data time of the displayed image.
When naming windows, consider including the product name. For example, if a VIL
product is assigned by the Product Output menu to be displayed automatically in the
window, name the window VIL.
Also, consider naming the window to match the name of the workstation "work space" in
the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), if this is supported on your workstation.
Tools
Icons below the title bar provide access to interactive functions such as loop configuration,
track, cursor, forecast, and cross-section.
Select an icon to open the tool.
On the right of the tool area, the QLW Mode and the QLW Indicator alert operators to
changes in the status of automatically assigned images in the QLW.
Legend
The legend provides tools for selecting radar sites, products and times, and displaying this
information. You can also loop animations or browse single frames.
The color legend is displayed and labeled. Use the Color Scale to select default color scales
assigned by the operator, or to make your own color scales.

Setting-Up and Starting Quick Look
Windows
You do not have to do anything to start the Quick Look Windows.
When IRIS starts, the windows that have been configured by your system manager (in
Setup > Output) automatically appear on the screen. Most systems are set to have at least 2
windows, but you can have more (check with your system manager).
Windows can also be exported over the network from an IRIS workstation to other
workstations that are running X-Windows, even computers running X-Window software on a
Microsoft Windows OS. These workstations do not need to run IRIS (free displays). However,
if you export displays over the network, your loop performance may not be as good as when
you run loops on your local IRIS workstation. Your system manager can configure these
remote windows.
