According to Scott Jacobs, acting chief of the NCEP Systems Integration Branch, NCEP Central Operations (NCO) continued its work on the National Centers Perspective (NCP) client software in September in preparation for forecaster testing, currently scheduled for November. "The development of the required functionality is coming together and we will be conducting full system tests in October to suss out any final issues or bugs that would affect the user experience during their testing," said Jacobs.
Near the end of September, Raytheon and the NWS Office of Science and Technology (OST) delivered a 64-bit version of the client to the NCEP sites. Previous versions had run only in 32-bit mode. "This version is for the users to test AWIPS I functionality," said Jacobs. "The testing has just begun, and a few configuration issues have been reported and fixed." Full stress testing of the 64-bit version is under way and the results will be reported to OST and Raytheon.

We don't have a time yet that we can say with certainty.

How are data feeds going to work with the release of AWIPS 2 to the public? Will data feeds have to be purchased or established by the individual user or are they publicly available as well? Finally, is there a target time frame for release?
Thank you!

when the AWIPS ll system comes out will all the data feeds be available for free along with it and heard rumor of this being a java version. Could that be in use with a windows system?

AWIPS2 data flow uses the LDM, so access to CONDUIT will be the same as it is now. The possibility of running CAVE (Common AWIPS Visualization Environment) gui to remotely access EDEX servers (HDF5 db) is being evaluated. Not sure yet if such a practice will be standard.

what good will it be if you can't access real data with the cave gui?
when will the release be?
will it work in windows, or will you have to use vmware to use it?
