Monitoring signal processor

You can use the Ascope utility to monitor the signal processor. It lets you control the antenna position and velocity, sample data either once or continuously, and plot from one to four output parameters in a graphical display. For example:

• Plot the reflectivity and Doppler spectrum to determine how much dynamic range is available in the linear channel for clutter correction.
• Plot the mean velocity against range to make sure the velocity sign is correct.
• Plot the Doppler power spectrum at a selected range to examine weather targets in detail.
