> Yuan, > Is the lack of memory what is meant by this error?: Laura, I believe so, if you are running the IDV in a 64bit machine, you have a lot more freedom to increase the memory. Yuan > "There was an error loading the data: > Error creating data source:netcdf.point with: > C:\madis\data\LDAD\mesonet\netCDF\20070608_1500 > Java heap space" > I receive this error when I try to add the data source in Data Choosers using > IDV2.9u2.
