Hello notion21223,

Also, I believe there is an error in your extraction formula. It should be (parentheses added for clarity):

Real_value= (scale_factor*stored_value) – add_offset

instead of

Real_value= scale_factor*(stored_value – add_offset)

Hi Joleen, Currently the timestamp in the McV display comes from the "t" variable in the NetCDF file, which for that particular file has a value of "476374086.93498" in units of "seconds since 2000-01-01 12:00:00". The following Python code seems to confirm that 02:08UT...

Joleen, I am aware of the issues with loadGrid and the ABI DOE files. I wrote some code a few months ago that demonstrates how to get these files loaded from a Jython script, which I attached below and is hopefully helpful. I intend to make loadGrid compatible with the ABI-DOE files using this strat...

Joleen, It looks like a single FlatField is getting passed into makeTimeFieldFromFlatFields... see the line: Number of Flat Fields: 3120000 Number of Times: 3 counter 0 2014-05-20 23:05:00 Z i.e., in makeTimeFromFlatFields, len(fltFlds) is returning 3120000, so fltFlds is probably a single FlatField...

Joleen, I can't think of any obvious reason why setSample would be failing in this scenario. Just for fun, in the makeSingleTimeField function, you could modify newField.setSample(0, fltFld,0) to read newField.setSample(0, fltFld,0, 0) This is a different form of setSample that disables the range eq...

I did not want to pass the dependency of a specific viewpoint name. Yep, that's definitely the downside of viewpoints. It looks like a "viewpoint" is basically just the combination of a projection name and a 4x4 projection matrix... It wouldn't look pretty to have a 4x4 matrix hard coded ...

Also, with the disclaimer that I'm not at all an expert an VisAD's projection matrix... when you do setScaleFactor, what ultimately gets called is DisplayMaster.zoom ... which in turn *multiplies* the scale factor you specified by the current projection matrix ... so I wouldn't expect the resulting ...

Joleen, Have you tried the setViewpoint method I put in for HP?: http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1166&hilit=setviewpoint Sounds like it would be useful for what you are trying to accomplish. Basically you just arrange your display as desired, save off a viewpoint usin...

Hi HP, This is unrelated to the VIIRS plugin actually. (However, you'll probably want to follow Rick's suggestion anyway if you're doing any work with the VIIRS plugin). We made some fairly substantial low-level changes to the scripting stuff last week which broke createLayer's compatibility with th...

Hi Carlos,

We just updated the nightly build one more time. If you download and install the newest nightly, the "dods://" URL should work. Sorry again about the hassle, but thanks for working through it with us!

Let us know if you have any more trouble!
