McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hi Henry,

Great! I'm glad that you were able to get McIDAS-V running correctly.

Thanks for following up,
Bob

Hi Henry, I don't have a Ubuntu machine to test on my end, so I can't reproduce the problem here. Here are a few quick things you can try: I would make sure that your video/graphics drivers are up to date. This is generally the issue when there are display problems. Try starting McIDAS-V with the -t...

Hello, I believe the reason you're seeing the errors from mcservl (the local server process) is that you have McIDAS-V installed in the /root directory. We recommend that users install in their own user directory (as their own user, not an admin) so that there are no read/write permissions. However,...

Hello, There are a couple things I see wrong with your script when writing all of the rows to the CSV file. You should make a couple changes to line 100 in your script: with open('/home/conrado/mosaic/sat_data1.csv', 'w') as csv_out: You want to write to the same file that the header was written to ...

Hello, No worries. You specify your directory paths in lines 2 and 3 of the script. Note that this just points to a directory, not the actual filename. Here is how I have it set: # specify data and output directories dataDir = 'C:/Users/rcarp/conrado/data' outDir = 'C:/Users/rcarp/conrado/output' I'...

Hello, Thanks for the file. I wrote the following script that I believe writes out all of the lat, lon, and data points. Here is the script: # specify data and output directories dataDir = 'C:/Users/rcarp/conrado/data' outDir = 'C:/Users/rcarp/conrado/output' # create local dataset localParms = dict...

Hello, It would be helpful to have one of your AREA files for me to test with. Would you mind posting one to our ftp? Here are instructions for doing that through a Terminal window (from the directory containing the AREA file): ftp ftp.ssec.wisc.edu user: anonymous password: email bin prom cd pub/in...

Hello, I checked with one of our programmers and he said the code you should start looking at is in visad-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. You'll find this in the McIDAS-V-System/lib directory where you installed McIDAS-V 1.8. The file you should look at is GriddedLatLonSet.java. If you don't feel like unpacking t...

Hello, I forwarded your question about where in the code McIDAS-V does the navigation for gridded data. I'll let you know when I hear back from them. I was going to suggest the Grid Table display for getting a table of lat, lon, and data values. You can click in one of the cells of the Grid Table, h...

Hello, We have an inquiry written up to able to export the output of a Grid Table display to CSV/Excel format. However, this functionality is not currently available. In the past, we've suggested that users click in one of the cells of the Grid Table display, do Ctrl+A to select all of the cells, th...
