+The setup_and_radar_selection module handles the housekeeping of starting the radar exhibit.
+
+It will use the radar_management_structure, which is in global data, will be used by this
+module to manage what radars are available and which one is selected.
+
+The selection of which radars are to be available to the museum visitors is accomplished
+my entering the radars that will be available as parameters of the command for example:
+
+radar_simulator chain_home marine_ascope marine_traffic police_boat  - all radars
+radar_simulator marine_ascope  -  only the marine ascope radar
+
+Note: if the operator invokes no parameters, then all the radars are to be made available.
+
+When the application is started, it will be in a state where no radar is in use. The visitor
+will use the selector to select a radar to operate.
