WEATHERPAK® MTR Receiver/Display

The touch screen on the MTR display provides access to multiple information screens that display the weather data in a variety of ways. Those screens include Active and Preview screens, a raw data screen, and a screen displaying a columnar list of other WEATHERPAK®s nearby. Following is a summary of the function of each screen (for more detailed information, please review the WEATHERPAK® MTR Users Manual):

The Active Screen is the most important and most frequently used information screen. It displays the data received from the Active WEATHERPAK®. An Active WEATHERPAK® is defined as the weather station which has been selected to provide data to the plume model. Access to all other screens is initiated here.

The Detected Screen displays data from other WEATHERPAK®s detected in the vicinity, in a columnar fashion. If any of the remote systems are WEATHERPAK® MTRs, the relative position (direction and distance) for those stations will also be displayed.

The Preview Screen displays data from any station listed on the WEATHERPAK®’s Detected Screen. It allows the operator to view the status of that system and change its Active or Default status.

The Status Screen displays the unique serial number of the WEATHERPAK®, its tower battery voltage, and the raw data line being transmitted by the selected WEATHERPAK®.
