1. In Display Mode, select the operating mode:
• Archive mode is a manual mode where you can loads radar data files and creates
visualizations without any automatic functions taking place.
• In Live mode the IRIS 3DView software continuously monitors the input directory.
When a new radar data file comes in from the central server computer, IRIS 3DView
automatically loads it.
If the background process has been configured and enabled, it renders 2D images of
the radar data in the background, using preset view angles and display states. The
background process requires some setup (that is, setting of a pre-defined view
point, and similar), but no interaction is required at runtime.
2. If you are in Live mode, in Radar Site, select the monitored radar site.
The radar site and timestamp of the currently loaded data file are shown.
