See the SDI page by clicking "SSEC Desktop Ingestor (SDI)" in the Software section along the left side of the main page. From the SDI page you can select version 2001aug24 or any other available version of SDI software. Read the section below that corresponds to your type of ingestor (GMS, GVAR, Meteosat, NOAAPORT, or POES) to determine if version 2001aug24 affects your ingestor and if/when SSEC recommends that you install it. I. GMS Ingestors ---------------- Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the GMS ingestor. The most recent GMS changes appeared in version 2000jun06, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version 2000jun06 or later. II. GVAR Ingestors ------------------ Version 2001aug24 contains updates to the GVAR ingestor to allow the IMGPROBE command to work with GOES-12 data and to make the BAND keyword in the IMG* commands work as expected with GOES-12. Therefore, SSEC recommends that you install version 2001aug24 as soon as possible on your GVAR ingestors. III. Meteosat Ingestors ----------------------- Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the Meteosat ingestor. The most recent Meteosat ingestor changes appeared in version 1999nov29, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version 1999nov29 or later. IV. NOAAPORT Ingestors ---------------------- Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the NOAAPORT ingestor. The most recent NOAAPORT ingestor changes appeared in version 2000jun06, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version 2000jun06 or later. V. POES Ingestors ----------------- Version 2001aug24 does not contain updates to the POES ingestor. The most recent POES ingestor changes appeared in version 2001jul20, so your ingestor is up-to-date if it's running version 2001jul20 or later.
