Pregenerated weather products

Pregenerated products are generated by signal processing components in IRIS Analysis. IRIS Focus reads the list of products, and displays the products that the user requests on the IRIS Focus map view.

The radar products and their settings are preconfigured, and only displayed in IRIS Focus. They cannot be edited in the IRIS Focus map view.

There is no upper limit to the number of preconfigured radar products that IRIS Focus can have.

The raw volume data is stored on a IRIS Analysis server. The data can be archived to tape or stored on a large disk array.

The radar products are rasterized into 2D bitmap images, based on the back-end signal processing settings. The images are sent to the IRIS Focus web user interface through the IRIS Socket Server interface.

When you select a pregenerated product in IRIS Focus, IRIS Focus polls the Socket Server and loads the image.

For information on setting up IRIS Analysis products, see IRIS Product and Display Guide (M212928EN).
