Hi Kris, The problem lies in the max function found in jython. When using this function, if a 'nan' is found as a value in either 2 data objects, the value in the resultant object is 'nan'. Through scripting we have a work around which requires using 1.5beta2. As you have pointed out 1.5beta2 does h...

Hi Bernie,

The System Requirements are documented in the Users Guide. Getting the correct graphics card and enough memory will make McIDAS-V run much smoother. One last note, McIDAS-V will not work on a secondary display. You'll need to use your primary display as the input to your projector.

A preferred method would be to make one getADDEImage call and request the value for a given lat/lon. Couple of questions. 1) Are yo...

Hi Tim,

Looks like the sensor-id to sensor-type is not being converted correctly. We'll take a look to find out if that information is coming from the server or a conversion done in the McIDAS-V software. I wrote up inquiry 1893 to address the issue.

That is the expect output. If your script did not create the png file, please post your mcidasv.log.

You will need to create a batch file to run the python script. Here are some example lines that could be used in a batch file: cd \ cd "C:\\Users\\jpalmas\\McIDAS-V-System" "runMcV.bat" -pyfile "C:\\Users\\jpalmas\\McIDAS-V\\prueba.py" The batch file would be run from a...
