This section describes how to configure the McIDAS-XCD workstation to serve -XCD data using McIDAS ADDE. McIDAS-X includes ADDE servers to provide users with data that has been decoded and stored by McIDAS-XCD.
Type: mcidas
Type: TE MCDATA "/data_directory_path
For
example: TE MCDATA "/home/oper/xcd_data
In order for -XCD to correctly file data in this example, the /home/oper/xcd_data, /home/oper/xcd_data/grib,
and /home/oper/xcd_data/bufr directories need
to exist. Create the #MCDATA, #MCDATA/grib,
and #MCDATA/bufr directories, if necessary.
Type: TE WSRDATA "/wsr_data_directory_path
Type: TE TDWRDATA "/tdwr_data_directory_path
Example: TE WSRDATA "/home/oper/xcd_data/wsr
Example: TE TDWRDATA "/home/oper/xcd_data/tdwr
Type: BATCH XCD.BAT
Type: BATCH XCDADDE.BAT
Notes:
The default datasets listed in the five tables below are created by running batch files provided with McIDAS-XCD. They can be created either by running the XCDADDE.BAT batch file or the set of batch files that XCDADDE.BAT runs (XCDRTPT.BAT, XCDRTWX.BAT, XCDRADAR.BAT, XCDTDWR.BAT, XCDWSR.BAT, and XCDNOAAPORTGRID.BAT; XCDCONDUITGRID.BAT is commented out but can be optionally run).
The datasets below are created by the XCDRTPT.BAT batch file (which can be run separately, or as part of XCDADDE.BAT).
