Vaisala IRIS - Ribbon Display Testing with Tdwr_Sim

Select the corridor from the submenu for each line of the display. Repeat the procedure for
all of the displays.
In the example, each of the four displays that are enabled is configured identically. In general
this is good practice since it makes the system easier to maintain. If your operation requires
it, dierent displays can have dierent configurations.
To assist with major changes, use the Clear All button. If you make a mistake, use File >
Load to restore the saved values.
After you have configured a set, use File > Save to save your results. You may also want to
do a File > Print to document your settings. Then you can click on a dierent set (yellow
button under the set name) and configure the displays for this. Continue until you have
configured all of the active sets.

Ribbon Display Testing with tdwr_sim
Do not run the tdwr_sim test utility during normal system operation as
it may interfere with the signaling of actual warnings.
WARNING!
To test the ribbon display and for training purposes, Vaisala supplies the tdwr_sim utility.
The utility outputs a simulated TDWR product with alerts for selected corridors to verify that
the ribbon displays are functioning. Note that this does not verify that warnings are properly
generated by the IRIS system.
1. Start a terminal and type:
$ tdwr_sim
