In OB6, six snow fall radar products have been added to the suite of radar products. As the product selector menus in the RPS List Editor, OTR and RMR are getting lengthy, especially with the addition of the snow products, these menus have been redesigned. We have implemented the two levels configurable menus of the products selectors. The configuration file script grammar is,
---------------------------------------------------------------
Main Menu::=
            item 1
            item 2
            item 3
            ...
             item N
item::= Comments | Separator | Product | Sub Menu

Comments::= #Text string
Separator::= separator
Product::= product-mnemonic + <Comments>
Sub Menu::=
           submenu
            sub-item 1
            sub-item 2
            sub-item 3
            ...
            sub-item N
            endsub
sub-item::= Comments | Separator | Product

The new products selector menus of the radar applications are,

The Discussion Version of The Radar Products Menus

Based on the suggestion from Mike on 12/08/04, I made a new menus for discussing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike's Email on 12/08/04:

Following are my comments...

1) Primary RPS, OTR, and RMR request screens.  I like them and I like the
sub-group names.

2) Layer Composite Refl Products request screens. Suggest adding ULR and
changing order to ULR, APR, LRM, and LRA.  Side note: LRA products are
mathematically junk.

3) Precipitation Product request screens. Suggest reordering to: OHP, THP,
STP, USP, HSR, DHR, DPA, SPD

4) Severe Weather Analysis request screens.  Suggest swapping SRR with SWW

5) Storm Products request screens.  Suggest putting in a line between two
sub-groups of products (I don't see a need to name the sub-categories) and
ordering as such: the upper group to VIL, DVL, ET, EET, CS, SS, SWP and
the lower group to STI, HI, M, MRU, MD, DMD, TVS, TRU.

6) I think the product display drop down screens should generally follow
this same groupings and intra-group ordering.  The names "Derived" and
"Graphics" doesn't provide an intuitive indication of what the next level
contains.
