[Datastream #RJJ-691000]: Access to the Archive Machine

Hi Matthew,

re:

The images are in McIDAS AREA file format.  They can be viewed in any of
the three applications that we make available: GEMPAK, McIDAS-X, IDV.
How you view the images depends on the application/interface you want to
use.  Perhaps the IDV is the easiest package to use since you can:

- copy the image(s) to one or more directories of your choosing

- open the Files action in the Data Chooser tab of the IDV Dashboard
  and navigate to the appropriate directory

- select the image and then set the Data Source Type to McIDAS AREA files

- click on Add Source

- set the desired way you want to load the image in the dialogs in the
  Field Selector tab (which you will be flipped to automatically)

- click on Create Display

Question:

- what application were you planning on using for your investigations?

Cheers,

Tom
