MIDAS IV Software
This section contains detailed information on operating TACMET
MAWS with the MIDAS IV software.
The MIDAS IV software collects measured and calculated data from
the TACMET MAWS systems. In addition, it automatically generates
METAR reports, archives data for 30 days on the hard disk or any
other selected storage media, and distributes data further to other
systems. MIDAS IV allows the user to edit the METAR reports with
easy-to-use templates. Moreover, MIDAS IV provides the Event
Monitor option, with which the operator can monitor the system and
sensor alarms.
MIDAS IV data can be accessed through four workstation
applications. These applications are:
- Weather View for data display
- US METAR Template for sending a METAR/SPECI message
- Event Monitor for viewing and acknowledging events
- ASCII Log View for viewing stored history data.
