Setting up HydroClass

HydroClass is part of IRIS and RDA releases, and no specific actions are necessary in standard IRIS and RDA installations.

You must have a valid HydroClass license code to use HydroClass. The code is activated and encrypted in the setup utility graphical user interface (GUI) field License. Two license codes are provided:

  • HydroClass in Reingest

    Allows activating the classifier methods of Preclassifier, MeteoClassifiers, and PrecipClassifier in IRIS/Analysis, that is in post processing. This license code also enables processing real-time data with the CellClassifier in IRIS/Radar.

  • RVP HydroClass Generation

    Allows activating the classification methods of Preclassifier, MeteoClassifiers, and PrecipClassifier in RDA real-time ray processing.

  1. Enable HydroClass in IRIS/reingest using the menu HClass: Hydrometeor Classification in ReINGEST in the setup block Ingest.

    The installed and activated HydroClass runs promptly on appropriate input data and computes results using the current configuration, when appropriate input data arrive or a task with HCLASS data type is running.

  2. Enable HydroClass in RDA using the menu Optional Data Parameters in the setup block RVP Radar Video Processor.

    HydroClass algorithms process data if the HCLASS data type is configured to be reported.
