AWIPS 23.4.1-0.3 is a beta release, with both EDEX and CAVE installation options. This release includes a major upgrade for the operating system, running on Rocky 8 Linux – which is a free Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution.
This release is still in beta since the National Weather Service is still working on their 23.4.1 release to operations and does not have full functionality. Users will have the option of installing their own EDEX with this version, or continue to connect to Unidata's public EDEX (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu).

Today we're going to take a look at some of the most useful shortcuts in CAVE – keyboard hotkeys! Our documentation has an entire page dedicated to defining keyboard shortcuts in CAVE and can be an excellent reference. The keyboard shortcuts on that page are broken down into different times and places where those keys are active while using CAVE. For today's AWIPS Tips though, we'll just focus on some of the D2D Menu Shortcuts.
Today we're going to take a look at another python-awips example notebook. This notebook demonstrates how to work with radar data by investigating available radar sites and seeing what products are available for a given site. The plots created in this notebook are from NEXRAD 3 algorithm, precipitation, and derived product data, not the base data. If you are not familiar with python-awips, please feel free to check out our documentation or visit previous AWIPS Tips for python-awips.
Today we're going to discuss an alternative method to ingest data into EDEX outside of edexBridge. The most standard way of inserting data into the EDEX processing queue is by using the -edex command in your pqact entry when receiving data through the LDM.
Today we're going to walk through the process of saving user configurations and overrides locally. This process can be helpful to have a backup version of these files, if you are connecting to different EDEX servers, or an EDEX server was updated and no longer has your files.
