No, but conspicuously absent are entries for the majority of the images in the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream. Also, it looks like you had ROUTE PostProcessing enabled (the N1-N8 entries) at one time, but the compositing stopped back on January 3. >How can you tell? There would be garbage in the listing (random numbers, columns that don't line up, etc.). >BTW- I route some imagery to 5000's because >I want longer (24 image) loops for the GOES-10 images - OK. Just wanted to check to make sure. From the listing above, I don't know how you are maintaining those longer loops of images. Is it possible you didn't send me the entire routing listing? >Looking at my ldmd.conf: > >request (DDPLUS|HDS) > ".*" > typhoon.atmos.ucla.edu. >request MCIDAS "^pnga2area Q[01]" typhoon.atmos.ucla.edu >request NLDN ".*" striker.atmos.albany.edu > >This seems OK...? Yes, this is fine. >Any other ideas? Only the lack of routing entries for the "regular" UW images.
