The radar system itself is run by a FreeBSD box, with another acting as the control console. Data analysis is performed on the radar controller; it's currently generating and processing about 700MB of data per day. The 'what the radar is seeing now' plot is generated offsite using IRF's code and ghostscript on some other system, but derived fom the analysed data. All the other plots are from our suite running under IDL on the BSD box. The horrible vertical noise bands in the data are a hardware glitch in the radar chassis.
