Notes

  • For the keypad keys to work properly, either the Num Lock state must be set to on or the shift key must be depressed when you execute the operation.
  • If any weather element is displayed as an image, that element is not counted as a graphic overlay when you toggle an overly. For example, if the second weather element from the bottom is displayed as an image, the third entry in the legend (second graphic) is treated as the second overlay graphic.


  • Additional keyboard shortcuts may be defined to run smart tools, toggle ISC mode, and a few other modes.  Refer to the Keyboard Shortcut Configuration section of the gfe configuration file guide.
