Hi Mason,

If you disable the AR from the preferences, the IDV will keep it until you 
changing it back. But you obviously experienced some performance
hit without AR. The AP and weighted average are not tightly related and the 
grey box is likely the difference between your data range and the 
system default range for this variable. You should be able to change the range 
of contour in the control panel.  In the IDV, if you select 
Tools > Parameter Defaults Editor, you will see the default range of common 
used parameters which is used in the rendering. This table is 
combined with the Parameter Alias table, and both table can be overwritten by 
User defaults.

Well, you can see the IDV is a powerful tool and a bit complicated. I hope you 
can enjoy using it in your research after some learning curve.
