Thanks! > >---------- Forwarded message ---------- > >ginicomp not displaying >giniwest not displaying The GINICOMP, GINIEAST, and GINIWEST datasets are composed of imagery that is not generally available in the IDD. Given this, you must point your McIDAS-X session at a server that does have the data. The output from your DATALOC command: >DATALOC: > > >DATALOC ADD CIMSS aeolus.valpo.edu >DATALOC ADD GINICOMP aeolus.valpo.edu >DATALOC ADD GINIEAST aeolus.valpo.edu >DATALOC ADD GINIWEST aeolus.valpo.edu shows that this particular session is pointing at aeolus.valpo.edu for these datasets. In my previous email, I recommended pointing at different servers for these: DATALOC ADD GINICOMP pscwx.plymouth.edu DATALOC ADD GINIEAST atm.geo.nsf.gov DATALOC ADD GINIWEST papagayo.unl.edu Like I said in a previous email, each user can select which server they request data from from the MCGUI: o click on the Adde Client Routing Config button on the MCGUI (button just to the right of the Zoom (capital Z) button o click on the IMAGE tab o click on the down arrow for each of the datasets that you are having problems displaying and select a server from the list that is presented. After selecting a different server for each of the problematic datasets, click on the Update and Exit button at the bottom of the widget o retry a display from the datasets giving your problems. >rtnowrad not displaying Like I said in a previous message, the RTNOWRAD dataset will only be populated if you subscribe to WSI Corporation and purchase a feed of their NOWRAD imagery (composite NEXRAD Base Reflectivity). If you do not subscribe to WSI for these images, then you will not be able to display images from this dataset. Remote servers may be getting these images, but since the images have to be purchased, they are not at liberty to serve them to sites off their own campus. >synoptic plots/contours not displaying > >Ship/Buoy Plots - Error: can't read ptPltDay(SHIPBUOY)": no such element >in array > >Lightning - Error: can't read "ptPltDays(LIGHTNING)": no such eletment in >array > >Vertical Plots not displaying (display --> observ --> thermo diagram/hodo) > >RAOB Cross sections not displaying This shows a different problem whose source is not readily apparent to me at this moment.

The list should look like: DATALOC ADD CIMSS aeolus.valpo.edu DATALOC ADD GINICOMP pscwx.plymouth.edu DATALOC ADD GINIEAST atm.geo.nsf.gov DATALOC ADD GINIWEST papagayo.unl.edu DATALOC ADD RTGRIDS aeolus.valpo.edu DATALOC ADD RTIMAGES aeolus.valpo.edu REM DATALOC ADD RTNIDS aeolus.valpo.edu DATALOC ADD RTNEXRAD aeolus.valpo.edu REM DATALOC ADD RTNOWRAD aeolus.valpo.edu DATALOC ADD RTPTSRC aeolus.valpo.edu DATALOC ADD RTWXTEXT aeolus.valpo.edu DATALOC ADD TOPO aeolus.valpo.edu Notice that I commented out the DATALOCs for RTNIDS and RTNOWRAD. These are datasets that would be populated with imagery purchased from WSI Corporation. While I was on aeolus, I noted that you most likely not subscribed for these data. Along these lines, as the user 'mcidas' you should remove DATALOCs for these datasets: DATALOC DEL RTNIDS DATALOC DEL RTNOWRAD Please let me know the status of your attempts to run the MCGUI after you make the above changes.
