Specify the time skip in HH:MM. For example, specify 01:00 (one hour), for a 24 hour movie
to have 24 frames.
The skipping algorithm attempts to show the frames that are exactly on or as close as
possible to intervals of the skip time. In the case of a one hour skip time, the frames would
be on or as close as possible to just after the hour.
Max Time
This is the maximum allowed time span.
You may not be able to achieve this since there may be insucient frames on the disk or you
may be limited by the Device Movie Length frame/memory limit configured in Setup >
Output. The actual achieved time span is displayed in the Span field.
Speed
This is the requested speed in frames per second. Faster is to the right, slower is to the left.
Achieving the speed depends on the speed of your CPU, the amount of memory that you
have, and the size of image that you are looping.
Pause
This is the pause in seconds between successive loops.
In addition to marking the end of a loop, Pause gives the computer a chance to rest and do
other things. For example, setting a very short pause of 0.0 sec runs the loop continuously,
which can cause other tasks such as loading the loop to take longer. If your computer seems
too busy, lengthen the pause. The 1.5 second default value is a good compromise.
High-speed loops of large images place a high demand on CPU and
memory.
By running several large format loops at high speed with no pause, you can use near
100 % of your CPU and memory depending on your system hardware configuration.
Consider the IRIS tasks on your system such as product generation and data acquisition
from the radar. The default values for Speed and Pause are reasonable starting points.
