Using SEQUENCER
FasTrac Millennium User’s Guide – May 2003
3. Zoom in to the location where the heaviest rain occurred.
4. Do another time lapse over that location. This provides both the overview and the local
weather information, which makes a difference to your viewers.
5.5 Repainting to a Sequence
1. Open SEQUENCER, and click Ins Evt to open the event types menu.
2. Double-click CONVENTIONAL RADAR. This will open the menu that we used earlier to
create a time lapse.
3. Select Repaint, and click Add to Seq.
In SEQUENCER, the system usually paints (displays radar sweeps) views
in the sequence. Repainting is still useful, however, for switching from
NEXRAD mode to real-time radar mode in the middle of a sequence.
5.6 Adding a Radar Lapse to a Sequence
This function allows you to add a real-time radar lapse into a sequence.
1. Open SEQUENCER, and click Ins Evt to open the event types menu.
2. Double-click CONVENTIONAL RADAR. This will open the menu that we used earlier to
create a time lapse.
3. Select Replay, specify the lapse time and whether you want Doppler or Intensity data, and
click Add to Seq.
5.7 Inserting NEXRAD Data in a Sequence
1. Open SEQUENCER.
2. Select Ins Evt, and double-click NEXRAD
PRODUCT to open the NEXRAD Product Setup
menu.
3. Click the Lapse radio button to activate the Lapse
Settings area.
4. Under Lapse Settings, enter the number of
Iterations (times the lapse is shown), the time in
minutes for the entire lapse and the time allocated
to each frame (the total time divided by the time
per frame equals the number of frames that will be
created).
5. Select the site and the product, and click OK.
