Image generation is terminated when the search time exceeds this end

time.

Type: string

images_archive_end_time = "1970 01 01 00 00 00";

images_scan_interval_secs

Time between scans in archive mode (secs).

Only applies to POLAR (PPI/RHI) mode, not BSCAN mode.

Type: int

images_scan_interval_secs = 300;

images_set_sweep_index_list

Option to specify the sweep indexes for the image generation.

If TRUE, only the specified sweeps will be processed.

Type: boolean

images_set_sweep_index_list = FALSE;

images_sweep_index_list

List of valid sweep indexes for image generation.

See 'images_set_sweep_index_list'. Images will only be generated for

the specified sweep indexes.

Type: int 1D array - variable length.

images_sweep_index_list = {

};
