McIDAS-V Support Forums

Hi HP, Apologies for all of the emails. This is the first time I've been made aware of this problem! We switched to a new version of the forums a couple months back, perhaps that is related. I'm curious what your email settings look like. Could you please: Click on your username under the search bar...

Hello, Some months back the catalog changed from using "http" to "https". You should be able to use: https://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/radarServer/catalog.xml Note that this new "https" URL will be the default in the next stable release of McIDAS-V, but I don't have a ti...

Hi Joleen, There are no updates to report with inquiry 2385. I spent some time experimenting in the Jython Shell and discovered how you can apply min/max values after importing an enhancement. Here's how that works: a = importEnhancement('C:/Users/rcarp/joleen_enhancements/clavrx_cloud_type.cmap', '...

Hi Chris, After looking at the Tropical Cyclones Archive page I saw that you can download the data in ASCII text format. This format can be loaded into McIDAS-V as a text data source and wind barbs can be plotted. For example, here is an image of GOES-16 AMVs from 12/02/2020: amv_image.png I'm not e...

Hi Chris, As of right now, local point servers do not exist in McIDAS-V, so there is no way to read in MD files. We have an inquiry open to add local point servers ( Inquiry 2155 ), though I have no estimate on when this will be completed. If it's possible to get your data in another format of point...

After a discussion with the user through email, it was determined that the accounting issue was related to trying to access a server from Satellite Data Services (SDS - https://www.ssec.wisc.edu/datacenter/). Any accounting required for SDS servers/datasets should be obtained directly from SDS. Ther...

Thanks for the tip, Ghansham. Good timing as well since I just ran across this again today attempting to create a new data source. I briefly discussed this with one of our programmers who will try taking a look into this shortly. I'll keep you updated with any progress.

Hi HP, If you pick up a nightly built today (09/15/2020) you should see that subsetting of HRV data now works as expected. I tried out several remote ADDE datasets and things seem to be working on my end, but please let me know if you see any problems. Relative times still do not work, though the pr...

Hello, I'm glad you were able to get your data to display. When you say "the probe tool only works correctly when the image is displayed in the native projection" are you referring to the middle mouse button probe? I'm seeing this work on my laptop using the 10.8um>Temp AREA file you sent ...

Hi HP, Thanks for reporting these issues. As far as the region selection not working with HRV data, I'm replicating this. This bug likely popped up with code changes on 08/18 in inquiry 2181 . Please note that with all of the changes in this inquiry the nightly might be having several changes over t...
