8. Define the smoothing levels (in km).
The XY Smoother is for the horizontal maximum projection.
The XZ Smoother is for the side panels and includes values for horizontal smoothing
and vertical smoothing.
In many applications, you may want to use no smoothing so the that maxima are not
diminished by the smoothing filter.
9. For the Color Scale, Levels, and 1st Level/Step, type the number of levels, the first level
value, and the level step in dBZ.
The color levels for the Zmax display are identical to those defined for the reflectivity.
10. In Resolution, select from the following default values or type other values in the field.
Resolution consists of 3 numbers: the number of E-W pixels, the number of N-S pixels,
and the height of the side panels.
Resolution
Pixels Height
Low 240 × 240 20
Medium 480 × 480 40
High 720 × 720 60
XHigh 940 × 940 80
Resolution values represent the total size of the display, including the side panels.

MLHGT: Melting Level Height
The melting level bright band typically represents the location of frozen hydrometeors
falling into air warmer than the freezing level, where the particles start to melt.
