Introduction

The Warning Decision Training Division has developed operator training to support the Radar Data Acquisition Unit/Radar Product Generator (RDA/RPG) Build 21 deployment. This build has multiple features that support operations, including:

• Learn where the VMI is applied to the velocity data and why


• Know about new Rain Rate Classification product (RRC)


• Identify how performancee checks behave with a forced restart


• List significant changes to the Shift Change Checklist


• Identify which SAILS/MRLE settings are retained when the MSF changes VCP to clear air mode


• Learn about restarting failed tasks


• Single Adaptable Parameter for ice crystals and dry snow


• Baud Rate Increases


• Notable other bug fixes

The operator training for RDA/RPG Build 21 deployment consists of an on-line Articulate module.
