How is the EDF implemented? • WLRS does realtime calibrations during satellite tracking! • It establishes one parameter set for every 120 s (MCP), 200 s (APD) • These parameters are supplemented with Meteo-values • Then they are converted to the respective XML definitions • The data is stored locally and uploaded once a day

EDF a la Lab. View. . . • There are some examples for EDF implementation on the web! • WLRS employs Lab. View for that purpose. • The programme icon can be seen below.
