Hello, I want to clarify a couple things here, since we're still confused exactly what and where the issue is. Are you using Unidata's python-awips (DAF) downloaded and installed from here: http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/ How is your GFM tool getting the initial METAR data if it's independent of DAF? DAF is designed to be used to interact with an EDEX server to request data and make additional calculations/manipulations of data and use them to be plotted, printed out, etc. Thanks, Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer UCAR-Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XFF-584221 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
