Hi Tiffany 1. The amplitude is implicit how its plotted (as a + or - sign) in CAVE and what "unknown" title in the product stack it will then fall under. But removing the - sign will always have it plotted/listed as +. I will try the other pattern and let you know what happens. 2. As for the pqact entry here it is... its pretty generic. # NLDN LIGHTNING LIGHTNING FILE -close -edex /awips2/data_store/lightning/%Y%m%d%H%M.nldn -----Original Message----- From: Unidata AWIPS Support <address@hidden> Sent: Friday, September 24, 2021 3:13 PM To: Manousos, Peter C <address@hidden> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [AWIPS #MOM-689702]: Lightning data from local feed > > > 1.
