McIDAS-V Support Forums

I tried to install beta 2 in Windows (32-bit) and the display came up blank. It appears that there is a map/navigation there, as I can move the cursor around and retrieve coordinates, as well as change the map projection and even "display" images - but it all shows up blank in the display ...

Hi Jay, Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I'm swamped right now and can only get to testing McV when I have spare time (ha!). 1. Yes, I usually start MCLISTEN in McIDAS-X with McV either already running or not running. Then I use the Data Explorer to find the frame in -X that I need. Note that ...

This is a McIDAS-X question/bug but since it's related to McIDAS-V.... I am running McIDAS-X and McIDAS-V on a Dell Precision 650 running RHEL Enterprise 4.0. I have McIDAS-X configured to 320 frames at 1024x768 resolution on a 24 bit display (I think...). When I start MCLISTEN, it works as advertis...

Thanks,

Is there a way to set up a loop and have it automatically update? Something similar to a cron or SKL in McIDAS-V. I'd like to display a loop (via Data Explorer or bundle) and want to have it auto-update based on a set time (every 5 mins, every 15 mins, every 30 mins, etc)

Thanks!

I was trying to re-create an image from the CIMSS Satellite Blog using McIDAS-V: m When I tried to display the edge of the "full disk", instead of smoothing at the ends that McIDAS-X does, it appears that McIDAS-V does some kind of "stepping". I've attached an example from the MT...

Greg,

I have the same issue, but got around this by selecting the Navigation Type: Lat/Lon in the Data Sources menu.
