Exhibit 2.4.3-1. Pop-Up Menu In Small Display Panes

Swap with Large Pane

This menu option exchanges the contents of a small display pane with that of the large display pane. This is the default action when you click Mouse Button 3 over a Small Pane.

Looping

A check button that toggles the animation of the product(s).

Step Frame

This menu option opens the "Step" buttons from the Toolbar. "Step" buttons are available only in the small display panes, and only when there is more than one frame of data.

Zoom

This menu option opens a cascading menu that contains eight zoom factors. The position of the cursor before the pop-up menu was invoked determines the center of the display once you zoom in. When zooming on plan-view data, the zoom factors are expressed as display widths in kilometers. For nonplan-view data (such as skew-Ts, profiler time series, etc.), the zoom factors are given as magnification factors.

Sampling

A menu option that contains a check button that toggles the capability to have continuous sampling for all image data, as well as METAR and ceiling/visibility plots and the Home Tool.

Lat/Lon Readout

A check button that toggles the ability to sample latitude and longitude coordinates at the mouse pointer.

Unload All Products

This menu option removes all graphics and image products from the small display pane. To redisplay a product, swap the small display pane into the large display pane and reload the product.

Unload Graphics

This menu option removes all displayed graphics from the small display pane. To redisplay a graphic, swap the small display pane into the large display pane and reload the product. If image(s) are displayed with the graphics, they remain in the small display pane when the graphics are removed.
