CTYpe=	changes the calibration type
DAY=	changes the Julian day (YYDDD) of the image
ELE=	changes the beginning image element number
ID=	changes the NEXRAD station ID to the specified value, e.g., MKX
LINe=	changes the beginning image line number
MEMo=	'text'	changes the text in the memo field; 32 characters maximum
OTYpe=	changes the original source type
RES=	line ele	changes the line and element resolution
SS=	changes the sensor source number
STYpe=	changes the source type
TIMe=	changes the time (HH:MM:SS) of the image
VALcode=	changes the validity code

Remarks

CAUTION: Do NOT change any directory values unless you are familiar with the structure of the image data and its source.

Use command IMGLIST with FORM=ALL to list the image directory values that can be changed with the IMGCHA command. An example is shown below.
