[McIDAS #LLN-564004]: GOES-16 data and McIDAS

Hi Heather,

re:

Yes, but there have been a number of changes to the ADDE server for the
GOES-R imagery that are not available in the Unidata v2016a release.

I just setup an ADDE dataset pointing at an ABI Channel 1 Full Disk image
file created by CSPP GEO on our GOES-16 ingest downlink, and I had no
problems listing/displaying the data in Unidata McIDAS-X v2016a:

My test demonstrates that v2016a should be able to serve the data (but newer
versions of McIDAS-X will needed to serve the data correctly).   The only
thing I can think of is that there is something wrong with the file you have.

What is the output of:

imglist.k ABI/FD.ALL FORM=ALL DEV=CCC


Cheers,

Tom
