Hi Laura, 

Not knowing what client you plan on using to view I will offer up both
file formats: AREA and GINI

Here is the line for the ldmd.conf file located in:

~ldm/etc

request UNIWISC ".*"    idd.cise-nsf.gov

This will get the feed flowing to you.

Now we will need to "FILE" or "PIPE" to a decoder, again I do not know if you 
want GINI
or AREA files???

These will be in your pqact.conf file, also in ~ldm/etc

For GINI:

# NOAAPORT GINI Images in NIMAGE feed
NIMAGE  ^satz/ch[0-9]/.*/(.*)/([12][0-9])([0-9][0-9])([01][0-9])([0-3][0-9]) 
([0-2][0-9])([0-5][0-9])/(.*)/(.*km)/
        FILE    -close  data/gempak/images/sat/\8/\9/\1/\1_\2\3\4\5_\6\7
[ldm@newshemp GEMPAK]$  


..this path is GEMPAK centric, so you would probably have a different path to 
write to.


For AREA: (FYI..MCIDAS is used as a synonym for UNIWISC in this/below context, 
we prefer
you use UNIWISC..even tho we use MCIDAS :) )

I encourage you to view:

http://weather.unisys.com/noaaport/sat_inventory.html

This may help you with the corner points of the images, resolutions, file 
extensions, frequency
etc.

It would help us help you if we knew how you were planning (what app/format) on 
using the 
satellite data.

I hope this gets things started, we can fine tune after you begin ingesting 
data.

Also, no white space, TABS only :)

Cheers,

Jeff
