Loop Control System

The loop control system is a group of McIDAS commands for viewing image frames in a sequence. The order of frames in a loop can be sequential or random. For example, when image frames are loaded with a chronological series of satellite images, you can loop them to follow cloud motions. This lesson describes how to:

create a loop
change the dwell rate
change the loop sequence
add image frames to your McIDAS session

The following commands are used in this lesson.

Command Function

A advances one frame

B backs up one frame

DR defines the dwell rate

F displays the workstation state

L turns looping on and off

LB sets frame loop bounds

LS defines a looping sequence

MAKFRM adds new frames to a McIDAS session

O displays the opposite frame
