F.2.1 RAW products
The radar system produces RAW products on the radar server computer and sends them to
the central site for product generation.
To reduce communication bandwidth, by default data is truncated to1- byte, 8-bit resolution
from the original 2-byte, 16-bit resolution.
If the communication bandwidth allows, use 16 bit resolution to improve data quality for
post-processing:
1. On the product configuration menu, select Type > RAW.
By default, the option is Forced 8-bit Format, which truncates the content.
