[IDV #IXK-736318]: Cannot Plot Dorade Sweeps

> Hello,
> 
> 
> 
> I just installed IDV 5.7 using the mac OS X package installer. I had to 
> install to a non-standard location (in my home directory), as I do not have 
> admin privileges on my machine (NOAA federal). IDV opens without any obvious 
> issue, and I’m even able to load in a number of different Dorade files (one 
> from the OU/CIMMS SR2 radar, and another from an NWS 88D radar). When opening 
> either of those files, IDV prompts me to select the data type (as it was not 
> automatically recognized) – and I set it to “DORADE Radar Files” (see 
> attached screenshot). At this point, I get a listing of all the fields in the 
> files, but when I select any of them to plot as “Radar Sweep View in 2D”, I 
> get the exceptions listed below one after the other. I’m running macOS Mojave 
> (10.14.6) with Java 8 Update 241 installed.

> Do you have any idea what may be causing this issue? If it is related to 
> being installed in my home directory, I can attempt to get an admin to 
> install it in the default location – just wanted to try to resolve it on my 
> own first.

Hi Dan,

You can try to specify the data source type as "Radr file(NEXRAD/DORADE/UF)" to 
see if it works.
