Apparently but here is my contribution:
Sweep Patterns
The sweep pattern is different in approach and takeoff modes. The system al- ternates between WXR and PWS sweeps.
- PWS and WXR Sweep Pattern in Takeoff Mode ;
Position Dir Radar Sweep Paint Sweep Angle (Degrees) Time
Sweep1 L-R Both WXR data update Both WXR +icons painted -90 to +90 4
Sweep 2 R-L Both PWS data updated Both PWS icons painted +90 to -60 3
Sweep 3 L-R Both PWS data updated Both PWS icons painted -60 to +60 2
Sweep 4 R-L Both PWS data updated Both PWS icons updated +60 to -90 3
- PWS and WXR Sweep Pattern in Approach Mode ;

Sweep 3 L-R Both PWSs data updated Both PWS icons painted -60 to +60 2
Sweep 4 R-L Both PWSs data updated Both PWS icons updated +60 to -60 3
The weather data is updated every fourth sweep.
Every 4 sweeps,meaning 12 secs...
