In the AWIPS OB2, we developed the MRU GUI in the RPS and OTR to interactively generate MRU product request. The elevation
selector and format in the MRU request GUI are different to other products.
 
 

• New elevation display format in the List Editor, like "elev all", "elev 12", and "elev 3.5".
• Added MRU product in the "Add Product" and "Edit Product"
• Priority.
• Request interval.
• New elevation selectors in the "Add Product" and "Edit Product", including all, lowest n and one elevation.

 

 
 
 

1.2 OTR
 

• Added MRU product.
• Priority.
• Request interval.
• New elevation selectors in the "Add Product" and "Edit Product", including all, lowest n and one elevation.

1.3 Elevation Angle Formats For MRU

The formats of the MRU elevation angle in request message, saving list file, GUIs and tcl are different.  The Value/Index is from the GUI of product editor.
In the request message and saving list file, it's short integer(two bytes), and is coded; In the TCL code, it's float  and is coded too; and in the RPS product
list GUI, it's text string.
 

   Values / Index      Message bits 0 ~12           13~15                      TCL                                              List GUI               Notes
 
   none                    1                                    001                         -1.0                                              empty                 -9.0 will be used
   < 0                      value * 10  + 3600            000                          value                                           value                 Not available
   >=0                     value * 10                        000                          value                                           value
   lowest 'n' index     index                               110                          index  + 1000                               elev index
   all                       0                                     010                          1111                                           all
   value                  value * 10                        100                           value + 2000                               elev <= value      Not available

 
1.4 Changed Source Files and Executable

 ProductRequestEntry.H, ProductRequestEntry.C, prod-mgmt.tcll, radarInfo.txtt, prods.conf, and wishRadar.
 

1.5 Issues

• Current list of the elevation angle data  is hard coded in tcl as a list from 0.5 to 19.5.  It should be a configurable file with one time loading.
• Change the empty flag of the elevation angle from the "-1.0" to "-9.0" or "-10.0" to deal with a negative value.
