To test the imagery, right click on the product in the bottom right legend, and select "Load as image" do you see the correct units/colorbar? (it will load as an additional product). To update the contours, you will need to make a site version of /awips2/edex/data/utility/common_static/base/styleRules/d2dContourStyleRules.xml and use something similar to this: <styleRule> <paramLevelMatches> <parameter>GSTX</parameter> <parameter>GSTF</parameter> <singleLevel units="SURFACE"> </singleLevel> </paramLevelMatches> <contourStyle> <displayUnits>mph</displayUnits> <contourLabeling labelSpacing="4"> <values>0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200</values> </contourLabeling> </contourStyle> </styleRule> And a removal of caveData and restart of CAVE. Let me know if that works (I didn't specifically test it, but in theory it should).
