The Local ADDE Data Manager lets you add, delete or edit local image datasets that are available through the Satellite->Imagery chooser when you select <LOCAL-DATA> in the Server field. Other types of data (e.g., grib or point) in local files can be accessed directly through other choosers (e.g., the General->Files/Directories chooser).

The columns in the table and buttons are defined below.

The rows in this window are listed in the alphabetical order of the datasets by default, and this order can be reversed by clicking on the name of the column ('Dataset'). Each column can be sorted alphabetically by clicking on the name of the column. At the bottom of this window, there is a status message that lets you know if local servers are running. The Server Manager will attempt to connect to ports 8112 to 8122. When port 8112 cannot be connected to, port 8113 will be attempted, and then 8114 and so on. After these ports have been stopped or cannot be connected to, the status message will say "Local servers have been stopped". When this status message is showing, you cannot connect to any local servers. To help avoid connection problems, your firewall software must allow connections to port 8112.

Adding a New Local Dataset

To add a new local dataset entry, select File->New Local Dataset from the ADDE Data Manager menu, or click Add New Dataset button.
