Alarm types
NexStorm provides you with three different types of alarms:
Severe storm alarm Triggered by a configurable strike rate set by the user.
Close storm alarm Triggered by a TRAC targeted stormcell being at or inside of an adjustable
range.
Severe storm cell alarm Triggered when a TRAC stormcell’s strike rate goes above the user
adjustable strike rate parameter.
The Severe and Close storm alarm triggers can be shown in the main user interface window by checking the
Visible on map and Visible in graph checkboxes respectively.
Additionally, strike and noise alerts can be deactivated for events that occur outside a specific distance by
enabling the Inactive for storms outside... option.
Alarm looping configuration setting
When an alarm is triggered, its associated sound (whether played using the PC-speaker or wav-sound) will be
played the amount of times that is configured under the Alarm looping configuration setting. The pause
parameter tells NexStorm how many seconds it should wait between playing consecutive alarms.
