Loading the FFMP Basin Table

Purpose:

This task demonstrates how to load the FFMP Basin Table in the D-2D perspective in preparation for using the GUI. Besides this simple task description, several other sample tasks can be performed on your office’s WES-2 Bridge workstation in the WES Exercise #7 on your local WES machine.

Tasks:

 
  1. From the SCAN Menu in the D2D perspective of CAVE, select FFMP xxxx Table/Basins DHR Display for a particular radar under the xxxx radar name submenu.                                                                                                                  Selecting FFMP Table/Basins Display from the SCAN menu for example radar kccx
    1. Note if you are doing this on a live AWIPS and you don’t have any precipitation occurring, your basin table can come up blank. If the table comes up blank, you can left-click on the NAME column header to sort by name, and you should see some entries in the table.
    2. You can increase the frame count with FFMP, but it uses a lot of resources, so limited frame counts are advised.
    3. The FFMP Table should launch as a single Frame of 1 with accumulations for the DHR precip source for that radar.          The FFMP GUI
