Abstract：China's new generation weather radar (CINRAD) generates three basic data,namely reflectivity,radial velocity and spectral width for the overall scan of each site (saved as a binary byte data file).This base data is not yet available for direct business application.And the professional software should be used to calculate and process the base data file in the later stage to generate the radar single station PUP product,which is applied in monitoring and early warning business.Because radars from different manufacturers have different data structures (formats),taking the CINRAD/SA radar base data file as an example,the Byte variable can only read 1 Byte (8 bits) of unsigned integer numeric data is resolved by using VB (Visual Basic 6.0) language programming.A VB program to process radar base data for the base station is provided to utilize radar detection data effectively and realize the modernization of monitoring and early warning
