On-demand products

On-demand products are processed by IRIS Focus in real time, and users can change the product configuration on the fly.

The raw volume data from the radar signal processor is stored in the Data Manager, which makes the data available to the IRIS Focus user interface.

IRIS Focus uses the Data Manager to read the raw volume data and generate radar or lidar products in real time.

To optimize viewing, as the user pans and zooms the map, the location and size of each pixel changes. The on-demand products recalculate the value of each pixel based on the new geographical definition.
