Occasional peaks in the yellow or red segments are normal.
They occur when the system is performing a particularly
computation-intensive operation, such as updating the
analysis window or the graph window.
During periods of little or no lightning activity,
Lightning/2000 only checks the lightning detection hardware
intermittently. The system load meter will light only the first
bar at these times.
NOWCast
The NOWCast window presents recent statistics textually.
Any alerts in effect are listed. The recent history of the stroke
rate, the strong stroke rate, the energy rate, the rates of the
stroke subtypes (if using the StormTracker hardware) and the
noise rate are detailed.
NOWCasts are not saved automatically, but the current
NOWCast may be saved at any time by choosing Save |
NOWCast from the File menu. The hotkey for this action is
F5.
If you’re viewing a NOWCast, it can be saved to any location
by choosing Save as… from the File menu.
