Starting, Stopping, and Restarting IRIS Software

cautionCAUTION

When IRIS starts up, it tries to execute default operating tasks.

If there is a danger to personnel from radiation, set your radar console switch in the Local position so that IRIS cannot take control.

You can also configure a mode named DEFAULT that does not start the radar antenna and transmitter. See Running Radar from the Radar Status Menu.
