Detector Status
The Detector Status window in simple and advanced modes.
The Detector Status window gives a visual indication of each
incoming lightning stroke. The signal strength meters are
updated immediately following the detection of a stroke. The
number of segments lighted is directly proportional to the
strength of the stroke. Strong strokes light all of the
segments. The peaks are held for 2 seconds.
You can cause a “click” sound to play for each stroke that is
detected. Right-click on the Detector Activity window and
choose Sound… to activate this option.
When using the StormTracker hardware, the top row of the
signal strength meters shows IC strokes and the bottom row
shows CG strokes.
When using the LD-250, the top row of the signal strength
meters shows the north-south amplitude of the stroke and the
bottom row shows the east-west amplitude.
The clock displays the time in the local format, based on your
Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel. The time
zone abbreviation is formed by using the first letter of each
word in the name of your time zone. You may change the
names of the time zones for your area by choosing Options |
Settings… from the main menu.
The system load meter shows how often the software is able
