7.2.4 Automatic NexRad Requests
The interval menu lets you program the system to
automatically send weather requests on a regular
time interval. The interval can be set from 0 to 60 minutes in
15-minute increments. Interval preset is 0 (off). To activate
this function select Interval in the menu and use the Left and
Right arrow keys to pick your setting.
7.2.5 Remote NexRad Request
The Request Point menu lets you request a NexRAD image
centered on a remote airport, navaid or intersection instead of
route of flight. This is useful when looking ahead over long
distances.
Select
Request Point in the menu and select the desired point
as you would if you were flying direct to that target (see section
4.6) Once you select an item press Enter to send the request
and return to the moving map. The result will replace any
weather currently displayed on your map.
To view the weather from a remote location press the
INF (F2) key, and select the correct airport in the menu
and view its map page.
7.2.6 NexRad Radar Animation
Basic NexRAD animation is provided that, when enabled, cycles
through all the received NexRAD pictures. This can provide some
idea of how the weather is changing. Select the Animate option
in the WX menu and press Enter to toggle animation mode on
and off.
