Hi Elizabeth- In the Field Selector, when you click the arrow to display a variable, I'm assuming you are displaying "Brightness" counts (Brightness, Radiance, Raw, Temperature are the options). When the probe is used, with a middle click, the lat/lon/brit values are displayed of the indiv...

Hi Kris-

Currently the GUI doesn't have this capability. I'm going to add the enhancement to inquiry 2666. This inquiry is to add the sandwich routine as a formula. Bob is currently looking into some of the other RGB formulas and inquiries regarding this topic as well.

Thanks, Jay

Hi Joleen-

Thanks for the update. We believe your problems are related to inquiry 2760.

Bob has recreated your problems on our MacOS testing machine and the programmers are iterating on a fix. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, Jay

Hi Joleen- I checked 1.8 and today's nightly (March 1) and was seeing the same behavior with your rgb_and_locs.py script in both versions. Here is what I'm seeing when running 3 different commands to run the script in the background: 1. ./runMcV -script /Users/jayh/rgb_and_locs.py -> Works correctly...

This isn't due to the government shutdown, it looks like a problem with the geoarc server since we've tried different versions of -V, and they give the same error when trying to access data from a geoarc dataset. Marhaba Said- You mentioned it ha...

Hello- What type of file are you trying to access? Let us know the format of the dataset you are trying to use in the local data manager, and if you could ftp us the file, that would help: ftp ftp.ssec.wisc.edu user: anonymous password: your_email_address bin cd pub/incoming put filename Let us know...

Hi Joleen-

Thanks for the Change Data report. I was able to reproduce all of these issues on my machine as well. I wrote inquiry #2741 for evaluation.

Thanks, Jay

p.s. I did have some issues using the AMV files, Bob is going to look into them further.

Hi Kris- That sequence of events was very helpful. I was able to reproduce your error with regularity by doing these steps: 1. Laptop closed, using external monitor, start -V 2. Minimize -V session 3. Open laptop, then unplug external monitor (all windows go to laptop screen) 4. Close laptop, then p...
