The SPx RadarView application consists of two files which must be located in the same folder (any folder) on your laptop:
Ensure that the Selection option is set to Network and in the Address field, enter the IP Address of the sensor. The Port must be set to 700.
Click OK.
Once the IP address and port are correctly set and the application makes contact with the sensor, the Video and Turn indicators should turn green. Shortly afterwards, you should begin to see radar scan information within the main window.
On the left side of the screen, ensure that the Raw option is ticked.
Ensure that in the Raw Radar section, the Fading option is set to Sweep and the Rate (sweeps) is set to 5. Click OK.
