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

Hi Heather,

re:
> Thank you very much for getting back to me.  I really appreciate your help!

No worries.

re:
> We are downloading the GOES-16 data directly from the NOAA PDA.

I figured as much given the 'PDA' in the directory portion of the
DIRFILE setting in your DSSERVE invocation.

re:
> It is the 16 banded full disk radiance data.

The name of the file that you setup your ADDE dataset ABIN/FD for suggests
that the file is a Full Disk Channel 8 image, not one with all bands.  This
should make no difference in the IMGLIST results, however.

This looks good to me.

Hmm... I am concerned about the last line comment about 'No SSH tunnels
to terminate'.  I do not use SSH tunneling, so I am not sure how this
is getting tickled.  Are you familiar with how your McIDAS session is
configured wrt SSH tunneling?

re:

Is there any possibility that you could make this one image available to me
so that I can test it in my McIDAS-X v2016a environment?  You making a specific
file available would be preferable to me going out to the PDA and grabbing
some other file.

Cheers,

Tom
