Het RED system is zeker nog niet plug & play.

RE: Comments about System RED
All of us with new System Red units should be aware that although the data from the units is getting sent to and stored by the servers, the data is NOT being used in the on-line maps (Blitzortung,org or lightningmaps.org), nor is the data or statistics from the units available.
Here's what I have been able to gather through several emails with Egon and the other developers:
- The Red units use a new reporting format that is quite different from that used with the older units.
- The servers are currently calculating lightning strikes with two parallel processes. The first calculates strike positions using the old format from older stations only. The second process integrates data from both old and new formats into the strike calculations. However, only the data from the old stations is used at Blitzortung.org and lightningmaps.org for display on maps.
- This means that you cannot use the advanced features of the maps, such as filtering only to show strikes using your station's data in position calculations.
- This also means that you will not be able to see any of your station reports in the text files in the Services/Miscellaneous area of the Blitzortung site. Also, your hourly report files will not be created.
- The only evidence I have seen on Blitzortung.org that data is actually being processed is that the Services/User data area has information about your station, including a graph of the last received strike. Your station will also appear in the Participants area of the web page. An efficiency ranking is calculated for all stations, including Reds.
- Edmund's Lightning Viewer program will not run if you have a Red system, even with an unlock key from Edmund. The program will not run because it thinks you have never sent data to the servers, even though you really have.
So, as one developer said in the forum, the unit is currently an oscilloscope that shows lightning strikes with very accurate time stamps.
I realize that it takes some time to complete the upgrades needed to support the new System Red. Its unfortunate that with all the new units being placed into service in the US, we are unable to see any improvement in coverage and accuracy.
