You can run ToolsUI from the command line locally. You will need to download the ToolsUI jar at http://artifacts.unidata.ucar.edu/content/repositories/unidata-releases/edu/ucar/toolsUI/4.6.10/toolsUI-4.6.10.jar Once you have it, you should be able to run the command: java -jar toolsUI-4.6.10.jar This will start up ToolsUI. You then need to do the following: 1. Follow the menu Debug->Debug Flags->H5iosp and click on the "filter" entry. 2. You will then need to put the path to the file in the file window at the top and hit return. 3. The simplest way to invoke the inflation code is to right click on one of the compressed variables listed in the right-hand window. Then click the write binary data entry; it should pick a default directory and default output file name. Click close. The debug output should appear in the console window in which you did the jar command. It does not look very useful to me, but you should also be able to get the java.util.zip log information and that may tell you more since it should only contain the inflation calls from H5tiledLayoutBB. > Do I need to run ToolsUI on the server that is running thredds, or can I run > it locally on my PC?
