[AWIPS #GFQ-914001]: Questions

Hello David,

> Hi, I have a few questions about the CAVE client.

Sure - couple questions for you as well. 

1. What operating system are you using?
2. What username are you using when starting CAVE? (I see a 
david@DavidsWorkstation and David@Davidspc)

Yes, these settings save to our EDEX and should be available automatically when 
you open a new CAVE. One caveat, we have 2 EDEX systems and sometimes we have 
to switch back and forth between them after we do updates. While we save these 
configuration files they are not always copied over. However if you let me know 
you username/machine name I should be able to copy them over to our current 
operational EDEX.

Same reason as above, a few weeks ago we switched our public EDEX, but these 
can be copied over. There's also an option to save your displays locally. 

> 3.  Where do I change the gamma settings for satellite image adjustments?

Are you referring to the RGB products? These are specified in the satellite 
menu. The file depends on which satellite and which sector. If you open up the 
localization perspective and navigate to D2D --> Menus --> satellite --> goesr. 
If you look at the goesr[EW][SECTOR]SectorMenu.xml you can see which RGB xml is 
used.

Ex from the goesrECONUSSectorMenu.xml:
 
        <contribute xsi:type="subinclude" subMenu="RGB Composites" 
fileName="menus/satellite/goesr/goesrRGBCompositesCIRA.xml" />
        <contribute xsi:type="subinclude" subMenu="RGB Composites With DP 
Readouts" fileName="menus/satellite/goesr/RGB-DP.xml" />

Then you can make a user override of this file and play around with the 
settings. (You will need to close CAVE and remove caveData after making 
changes).

Another note about these RGB files, if we update EDEX this file won't initially 
be copied over. The reason behind this is especially with the satellite menus 
they are constantly updating/changing with new products and if you have your 
user override file, you won't ever see the updated files/menus.
