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 addres s

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.
