=== '''Overview''' ===
Radx2Grid offers several ways to control the output that ends up in the final file, which can help quality control the data and reduce the file size.

===== '''Censoring values''' =====
Radx2Grid offers the option to setting fields to missing values where the data meet certain criteria. This option is turned on by setting ''apply_censoring = TRUE'' in the Radx2Grid [http://wiki.lrose.net/index.php/Radx2Grid#The_Radx2Grid_Parameter_file parameter file]. For example, the user can quality control the files to include only the data that is most likely meteorological by censoring values based on <math>\rho_{HV}</math> values or PID categories.

===== '''Specifying fields''' =====
The default behavior for Radx2Grid is to interpolate all fields in the original file. If you only require a few fields, you can set ''select_fields = TRUE'' and specify a subset of fields to interpolate to the grid.

===== '''NEXRAD long-range''' =====
If you are gridding radar data from the NEXRAD network, you can choose whether to include the non-Doppler long-range sweeps. If you'd like to only include the Doppler short-range sweeps, you can set ''remove_long_range_rays = TRUE''. Conversely, if you'd like to only include the long-range sweeps, you can set ''remove_short_range_rays = TRUE''.
