> R. TDWR velocity files,
Some comments:
1 - the DIRMASK= (represented by RESOLV.SRV MASK= clauses) does not account
for the set of files that Bob provided to me
The set of files that were provided to me were named:
TDWR Base Reflectivity file (TR0):
TDEN_SDUS00_TR0DEN_201405202229
TDWR Base Velocity file (TV0):
TDEN_SDUS00_TV0DEN_201405202230
KBOU_SDUS55_TV0DEN_201506042350
TDEN_SDUS00_TV0DEN_201405202229
If you have the same set of files, then the dataset definitions would
be better defined as:
N1=RCI,N2=NCDCR,TYPE=IMAGE,RT=N,K=NEXR,R1=1,R2=999999,MASK=/home/rabin/tdwr/ncdctest/*TR0*,C=B.
R. TDWR reflectivity files,
N1=RCI,N2=NCDCV,TYPE=IMAGE,RT=N,K=NEXR,R1=1,R2=999999,MASK=/home/rabin/tdwr/ncdctest/*TV0*,C=B.
R. TDWR velocity files,
2 - I was never told about any issue with TDWR TS0 files, and I was never
provided with examples to work with
Since I have no example TS0 files, I can't comment on how the set of ones
that you have should be described.
BUT, I can comment that my code update included modifications for
what is likely to be the high resolution (256 color instead of 16 color)
TDWR TS0 product (product code 186). I could verify this really
is the case if I am provided with one or more of the TS0 files.

I agree.
re:

OK.

I see the same thing. This _strongly_ suggests that the NEXRAD Level
III/TDWR server that is being used in the remote ADDE access to RCI/NCDCR
on rci.ssec.wisc.edu is _not_ the server that was updated with the three
files (nexradir.cp, nexrutil.c and kbxnexr.dlm) that I gave Jim last
Tuesday while I was in Madison. The reason I say this is because the
"all zero"s output from IMGLISTs is exactly the behavior I saw before
updating the server code.
re:

Bob C. sent us a couple of emails this morning to let us know that he
was checking into things while Barry is on vacation. One of his emails
included the comment that processing of Bob R's TV0 files looked good,
but processing for Bob R's TR0 file was bad.
re:
> Does this mean that a fix is at hand for the
> TR0 files? Where do things stand with the TS0 files?
The fix is included in the source code files that I provided while at the
MUG meeting. I am willing to bet that the version of McIDAS-X that
is being used by the remote ADDE interface on rci.ssec.wisc.edu is still
SSEC v2013.1, and this was not the code that was updated by Jim last week.
A quick test of this would be to update the NEXRAD Level III/TDWR servers
with my code updates in the SSEC v2013.1 distribution on rci.ssec.wisc.edu.
Cheers,
Tom
