TimeSpan

The TimeSpan product is a data visualization of recent lightning events. It visualizes lightning events as color-coded icons, which change color at user-defined intervals. The size and shape of the lightning icon indicates the type, amplitude, and polarity of the lightning event. You can choose a default or a customized color scheme.

When a new lightning event occurs, it is indicated with an animated circle around the lightning, if you are viewing the current time.

On the timeline, you can view information about lightning events up to 7 days in the past (up to 700k).

The Total Lightning Processor can be configured to provide either flashes or strokes to IRIS Focus.
