1. To control animation playback settings, select the settings icon on the animation
toolbar.
Time Span
Determines the maximum time selectable using the animation slider. The options
are 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours back in time.
Frame Interval
Determines the minimum frame interval. If there are more frequent data files on
disk, then some are skipped to reach this minimum.
The larger the frame interval, the faster the animation proceeds through the time
span.
The options are 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Animation Speed
Sets an additional delay between displayed frames. Does not aect the rendering
time. Options are:
• Fastest (no delay)
• 1 second
• 3 seconds
• 5 seconds
• 10 seconds
Loop mode
Select to have the animation Play once or Loop until stopped.
The typical bottleneck for animation playback is CPU power, that is, the time it takes
for IRIS 3DView to calculate the 3D model of the frame.
If the animation playback speed is unsatisfactory, set the Animation speed to
Fastest, render it in a smaller window, and consider lowering the data resolution in
the Settings window.
