In addition, the following complete radar application software can be
purchased from Vaisala:
- IRIS/Radar—Runs on the same or separate PC. It interfaces to the
RVP900 internally or by 100 BaseT Ethernet. IRIS/Radar controls
both the RVP900 and the Vaisala RCP8 radar/antenna control
processor. The package provides complete local and remote
control/monitoring, data processing, and communication for a radar
system.
- IRIS/Analysis (and Options)—Runs on a separate PC, often at a
central site. One IRIS/Analysis can support up to 20 radar systems.
This functions as a radar product generator (RPG) to provide outputs
such as CAPPI, rain accumulations, echo tops, automatic warning and
tracking, etc. Optional software packages are provided for special
applications: wind shear and microburst detection, hydrometeorology
with raingage calibration and subcatchments, composite, dual
Doppler, and 3D Display.
- IRIS/Web—Provides IRIS displays to network users on standard PC
(Windows or Linux) running Netscape or Internet Explorer.
- IRIS/Display—Displays products sent to it and, with password
authorization, can serve as a remote control and monitoring site for
networked radar systems. Features such as looping, cross-section,
track, local warning, annotation, etc. are all provided by IRIS/Display.
Both IRIS/Analysis and IRIS/Radar have all of the capabilities of
IRIS/Display in addition to their own functions; any IRIS system can
display products.
