Accessing the Data via ADDE

Once the SDI begins to ingest data and is connected to the network, the data can be accessed on McIDAS workstations via ADDE. The ADDE group name, by default, is MET.

Perform these steps to access the SDI's data.

1. From a McIDAS workstation:

Type: DATALOC ADD MET SDI IP address

For example, if the SDI has an IP address of 144.92.108.32

Type: DATALOC ADD MET 144.92.108.32

2. Use the ADDE command named DSINFO to determine the descriptor names:

Type: DSINFO I MET

The output should look something like:

DISIFO I MET

Dataset Names of Type: IMAGE in Group: MET

Name         NumPos    Content
-------      -------   -------------------------------------
ALL           100      All Meteosat Images
B              20      B-Sector Channels 1 8 10 (VIS IR WV)
FD             20      Full Disk 5km; Channels 1 8 10 (VIS IR WV)
FDHV           20      Full Disk 2.5km Vis

At this point the suite of ADDE commands can be used with the data.
