Click here to Order your Radar Equipment Online Edit Alert Areas and Alert Categories There are two separate alert areas that are definable by each PUP for the NEXRAD unit coverage area via the graphic tablet and on one of the graphic screens. The other graphic screen will operate normally during this procedure. Alert areas 1 and 2 are separate overlays displayable with products. When a product is displayed with an alert area overlay, only the included alert boxes are displayed. Each alert area has its own set of up to 10 alert categories associated with it. These categories describe the types of alerts and the threshold level numbers that trigger alerts.Section 12 of the technical manual, Operation Instructions Principal User Processor (PUP) Group/Doppler Meteorological Radar contains detailed guidance on editing/sending of RCMs, generation/distribution of FTMs, editing/sending product annotations (graphic), editing background maps, and editing of alert areas and alert categories.USER FUNCTION OPERATIONS User function operations provides a way for the operator to predefine up to 31 normal PUP operator selections into a single user function. Upon subsequent selection of a user function for execution, each of its predefine selections is performed in sequence, as though they had been individually selected by the operator. This feature is particularly useful for function sequences that are time consuming and frequently performed.User functions may be linked to other user functions at any sequence, or into a loop, so that they may run continuously until canceled. Time delays may be built into user functions to allow time for correct execution, operator observations, or prescheduled sequences. Discussion of all PUP user functions are beyond the scope of this text. For a detailed discussion of user functions, time delays within user functions, end user function definitions, examining/editing user functions, executing user functions, and the canceling of user functions, refer to section 11 of the technical manual, Operation Instructions Principal User Processor (PUP) Group/Doppler Meteorological Radar.STATUS AND ALERTS There are two types of status and alerts: those that are selected and those that are automatically displayed. The 11 operator selected status options are as follows:1. NEXRAD Unit Status (operator selected and automatic display)2. Types of Products Available in PUP Data Base 3. Products in PUP Data Base (by ID number) 4. Earliest lime in PUP Data Base 5. RPG Products Available 6. Monitor Performance Display 7. System Status 8. Status of Archive 9. Communications Line Status 10. Status of Background Maps 11. Alert Status Display All of these may be selected via the alphanumeric (S)TATUS or (M)ONITOR PERFORMANCE commands. The NEXRAD unit status is also available as a graphic display, selected from the graphic tablet. Discussion of PUP status and alert functions are beyond the scope of this text. For a detailed discussion of status and alert functions, refer to section 8 of the technical manual, Operation Instructions Principal User Processor (PUP) Group/Doppler Meteorological Radar.This information is now available on CD in Adobe PDF Printable Format |
