20020106: NMAP2 problem

Robert,

For WSI Nowrad images, I have the files under the directories:
$RAD/USRAD/2km/NOW and $RAD/USRAD/8km/NOW

The files should be named NOW_YYYYMMDD_HHNN

This is the configuration in the $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl file for RAD.

If you click on the "Data Selection" widget and select "images" followed
by "RAD", "USRAD", "2km", "NOW" (eg the directory names as mentioned above),
then you will have an "Accept" button at the bottom of the data selection 
window.

Once you click "Accept", you will get a time line of available files
in the data selection widget if your data is current.
If you do not have current data, that might be your confusion.

If your data is not current, you will have to click on the "Set Time"
button at the bottom of the time widget and then select the calendar
time to match your data set. This would be necessary if you were
using data from a case study data set for example.

Since you didn't mention whether the data was current, the above 
may be the problem. If not, then send me a "ls -R $RAD" listing
so I can see what your data structure is if other than what I mentioned above.

>>Robert,
>>
>>NOWRAD composite images from WSI, or do you mean individual site NEXRAD 
>>images?
>>
>>Are there any ERROR MESSAGES in the log window? The ERROR button on the 
>>lower
>>right of the main window will turn red. Are you changing the map region or
>>using the default for the image? How many images are you selecting from the
>>time widget? Are you launching NMAP2 (and the other GUIs) from NTL?
