Running IRIS Utilities Overview

Utilities can be run in a terminal locally or over the network for remote operation and maintenance.

cautionCaution You must be a radar operator to run the IRIS Utilities. Observers cannot run any utilities that may affect the system configuration or operation.
IRIS and RDA utilities can affect the calibration and operation of the radar system and can only be run by IRIS operators (radarop). All the utilities are available on both IRIS and RDA systems.
note

You can access utilities that use the signal processor without quitting the IRIS program (service iris stop).

You can access utilities that use the signal processor without quitting IRIS by setting IRIS Radar Status Menu > Radar Process off.

Alternatively, use the -demo option which is available for many utilities. This allows you to change and store values. Changes do not take effect until you restart IRIS (service iris stop and service iris start).
