These features provide more efficientnetwork operations, stabilizedperformance, <strong>and</strong> deliver advancedinformation about the geolocatedlightning events.The TLP combines <strong>Vaisala</strong>’s latestpatented location algorithm withterrain <strong>and</strong> propagation correctionservices, significantly improving thenetwork median location accuracy to250 meters or better in the interiorof the network. With <strong>Vaisala</strong>’snewest sensor technology, a locationaccuracy approaching 150 meters canbe achieved.User-Friendly, Web-basedOperationThe TLP is available on a Linux ®operating system for added flexibility<strong>and</strong> lower ownership costs. TheTLP employs a web-based interfacewith excellent network monitoringtools.<strong>Vaisala</strong> <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Lightning</strong> Processor TLP100/200 Series — License LevelsPART NUMBER BASE + LF System &NetworkPerformanceNetworkPerformanceMappingDE/LAProjectionsPremium(“Burst” Processing, EnhancedClassification, AdvancedWaveform Parameters)TLP111 TLP121 TLP131 TLP141 PART NUMBER BASE +LF + VHFSystem &NetworkPerformanceNetworkPerformanceMappingDE/LAProjectionsTLP211 TLP221 TLP231 A typical <strong>Vaisala</strong> LF precision lightningdetection network configuration usesTLP100. <strong>Vaisala</strong> LF + VHF networksrequire <strong>TLP200</strong>. Each network consistsof four or more sensors (dependingupon desired coverage area). Eachsensor sends back data from detectedlightning-generated electromagneticsignals to the TLP in real-time. The TLPuses this data from multiple sensorsalong with a geolocation algorithmto find the optimum location solutionfor each lightning event. In addition, avariety of parameters <strong>and</strong> associatedcharacteristics are reported for eachsolution. <strong>Lightning</strong> data from the TLPcan be sent to different applications fordisplay, storage, <strong>and</strong> analysis.
