Hsie and Adam, re: Hsie's request > Could you modify your ~/etc/ldmd.conf file and specify just PRIMARY > source only (comment out ALTERNATE source)? If you can receive data > fine, let us wait until next version of the LDM software before you add > the ALTERNATE source. Right now your machine logs ton's of error > messages in my log file. Adam's changing the PRIMARY/ALTERNATE flag on his FNEXRAD requests will not have any affect since LDM-6.4.x will autoswitch connection modes automatically. The only way to stop the autoswitching is to make the request patterns different. Right now tornado's ldmd.conf requests for FNEXRAD are: # # NEXRAD Level III composite products # request FNEXRAD "rad|pnga" rainbow.al.noaa.gov PRIMARY request FNEXRAD "rad|pnga" stokes.metr.ou.edu ALTERNATE If Adam changed either (but not both) request patterns to "pnga|rad", the autoswitching would stop, and the errors being written to rainbow's ldmd.log file should stop. So, Adam please change your FNEXRAD request lines to look like: request FNEXRAD "pnga|rad" rainbow.al.noaa.gov request FNEXRAD "rad|pnga" stokes.metr.ou.edu and then stop and start your LDM. > Hsie > > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > "This contents of this message are mine personally and > do not reflect any position of the Government of NOAA or > University of Colorado" > > Eirh-Yu Hsie > > Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) > University of Colorado > Boulder, CO 80309-0216 > > Chemical Science Division (CSD) > Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) > NOAA > 325 Broadway, R/CSD4 > Boulder, CO 80305-3328 > > e-mail: address@hidden > address@hidden > voice: 303-497-3275 > fax: 303-497-5373 > > Cheers, Tom **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
