Utilities and applications

RVP10 includes applications and utilities for the calibration, alignment, and configuration. These can be run locally on RVP10 or over the network from a central maintenance facility.

RVP10 utilities
Utility	Description
Ascope	A utility for controlling the signal processor manually and to display moments, times series, and Doppler spectra. Includes a signal simulator able to produce first and second trip targets. Can record and playback of time series and moments.
dspx	An ASCII, text-based program for accessing and controlling the signal processor, including accessing local setup menus.
DspExport	Exports RVP10 to another workstation over the network. This allows utilities on a remote network to run locally, instead of exporting the utility display window over the network. Improves the performance of the utilities for network applications by letting them be run on the workstation that is remote from the RVP10. The standard X-Window export is supported, but requires more bandwidth.
Setup	Interactive GUI for creating and editing RVP10 configuration files.
Zauto	Calibration utility for use with a test signal generator.

Radar Application Software
Application	Description
IRIS/Radar	The package provides complete local and remote control/monitoring, data processing, and communication for a radar system. Runs on the same or separate PC. Interfaces to RVP10 internally or by 100 BaseT Ethernet. Controls RVP10 and RCP8 radar/antenna control processor.
IRIS/Analysis	Functions as a radar product generator (RPG) to provide outputs such as CAPPI, rain accumulations, echo tops, automatic warning and tracking, and so on. Runs on a separate PC, often at a central site.
IRIS/Focus	Functions as a radar product generator (RPG) to provide outputs such as CAPPI, rain accumulations, echo tops, automatic warning and tracking, and so on. Displays radar products on standard PC (Windows or Linux) running standard browsers. Includes features such as looping, cross-section, track, and alerts.
