FasTrac Millennium User’s Guide – May 2003
Overview
exiting the program, you may not return to it by clicking on the icon. You must click on the
minimized icon on the task bar to return to the program. This safety feature is designed to prevent
multiple copies of FasTrac Millennium from running at the same time.
1.4 NetRad
The NetRad module lets you specify which radar sites provide NEXRAD data to your system.
You must enable it before starting FasTrac Millennium, as described in this section.
1. Double-click on your NetRad desktop icon or
double click on the netrad.exe filename to
open NetRad.
2. Select Connect > Disconnect, and then select
Setup > Main Setup to open the NetRad
Setup menu.
3. Use the Add Site and Remove Site
commands to select the sites you wish to
display.
The FutureScan products option on
the NetRad Setup menu is available
only if you own the FutureScan
module.
Be sure that the Data Compression box
is checked, as this reduces the load on
the NetRad server.
4. Set the Folder pathname to reflect the
directory that will contain the NEXRAD
product files, and click OK to return to the
NetRad main menu.
5. Select Connect > Connect to reconnect to the NEXRAD server.
If you have modified your NEXRAD sources, go to the folder to which
NetRad delivers files (the folder defined in the Folder field in the NetRad
Setup dialog box) and delete all of the files in the folder.
You may now view NEXRAD products in FasTrac using the NEXRAD panel, as described in
section 6.3.1.
