Since Level 1B is not a format per se (it is a processing procedure), it
is impossible to assure you that your image(s) can be converted with
the XRD CONVERT_LEV1B command, or, for that matter, served with the
McIDAS LV1B ADDE servers (lv1badir and lv1baget).  The best thing would
be to give the conversion and/or direct serving a try.

I am curious: did you get McIDAS from Unidata, or did you get it from SSEC?
If you joined the McIDAS User's Group (MUG) and are a member in good standing
(i.e., have paid your MUG fees), then your question is better directed to
the MUG support team, address@hidden.  If you got McIDAS from Unidata,
you sent your inquiry to the correct place.


Cheers,

Tom
