The first line of text shows the current zulu time 03:07:27 and the altimeter at the primary airport for the current scenario, PHL. The following line shows the network status (always "OK/OK/NA" in <i>vice</i>) as well as the current radar mode, FUSED. Next is the current range shown from the scope's center, 17nm, and the length of predicted track lines (PTLs), 0.5 minutes. Next are the altitude filters, first for unassociated tracks and then for associated tracks (both in hundreds of feet.) The next few line again shows the altimeter at PHL and contains the altimeters at nearby airports in multi-airport scenarios.</p>
