Version AF-NEXSTORM - Astrogenic`s NexStorm Lightning Detection Software

Compatible with Windows 95/98/ME and 2000/2003/XP/Vista

Professionally designed and intuitive graphical user interface, you will be up and running within minutes

Multithreaded design and efficient internal memory managment for optimal performance on any system, around the clock and without human interference

Boltek ISA, PCI and LD-250 Support

Built-in, programmable screen capture of the GUI, no need to have NexStorm occupying your entire desktop, the program can be minimized as the capture is performed in-memory! Captures can be saved in PNG, BMP or JPEG formats. The JPEG format comes with adjustable compression level.

Data archiving for later replay and analysis

Automated archive export. Use StormVue-1 Java applet or your own creation for displaying the data online, thus minimizing bandwidth usage compared to uploading images. The format of the exported archive is open source and available to third-party developers.

Programmable FTP upload of exported archive or screen capture

Programmable File Copy of exported archive or screen capture to your local or network disk

FlashGate IPC datapump. Third-party developers can now have realtime access to every single strike event using standard Windows interprocess communication techniques (see details below)

TRAC - (Thunderstorm Range Acquisition) - intelligent algorithm for storm positioning and tracking of individual stormcells, features stormcell location plot on map and analyzing of individual storms

Use any BMP image as your background map, no proprietary formats

Configurable, color-coded display of strike history

Strike rate trend graph

A symbol generator provides many strike symbols in different colors and sizes to choose from for your display

Configurable close storm alarm, general severe storm alarm and severe stormcell alarm.

Uses PC-speaker beeps or custom WAV-sounds for sound generation, the choice is yours.

Display-range up to 600 km (375 miles), actual detector efficiency varies with antenna installation and surrounding terrain

Map zoom function, 600-200 km (375-125 miles) smooth and normal zoom-mode

Antenna polar alignment correction, plus or minus 90° angular offset, correction resolution 1 degree. Also includes X-Y swap for complete reversal. You can mount your Boltek™ receiver antenna pointed in any direction and compensate for the offset from north via NexStorm settings. The change is instantaneous and visible to you while you are correcting

Ranging correction, a non-linear adjustment method for optimizing the strike distance averaging in one simple step so that it correlates with your specific environment

A Ranging Kernel user interface provides full control over how NexStorm will estimate strike distances. This feature is multi-directional, there are eight 45 degree sectors that each have seven different ranging sections. These 56 sections are completely independent of each other and every section can have its own unique ranging configuration.

StormVue-1, a light-weight Java™ applet for logical and clear presentation of your lightning-data on the web

NexMap - small, easy-to-use application that helps you scale and adapt a map for use with NexStorm
