First you select which sites you want plotted from the pop-up menu. Once that is done you could use something like the following:

ERASE
IMPORTRADAR
EXPORT,C:\US\LATESTRADAR.GIF

I you have a website and want a new radar image to upload every hour, this can be set through the schedular (**15 or whatever)

Hi Pat

Thank you very much for your reply.

Unfortunately I have already tried that but it doesn't separate the radar image from the map.

Due to the way the radar is in Oz, Tim's program separates the radar only data from the BOM gif file (removing the background map) and then it is placed on a daws map. This is the process I need to replicate with scripting.

If you try the brisbane radar with a SE Qld map you will see the radar only image has been overlaid on the daws map.

Cheers

Alan
