GVAR
Server Binary Updates for GOES-15
Note: This version (Mar 2010) is the second server binary update
to the current SDI GVAR full release (2005jun01). The server binaries for this
version are no longer available because a more recent update is available. See
the SDI
Software page for the latest full
release ( 2005jun01) and update
( Jan 2012).
The servers on SDI GOES systems were updated in March 2010 to support GOES-15.
Rather than packaging a completely new version (like 2005jun01),
we are distributing updated server binaries for you to install
in the /home/mcadde/mcidas/bin directory.
See the SDI
GVAR Software Changes page to see the list of changes for all versions of
SDI GVAR available on the McIDAS Website.
You can obtain the files in step 4 below if
you purchased MUG support for your SDI GVAR system or have been
contacted and been given approval by SSEC. You will be prompted for your site's
login and password when you attempt to download the installation files. If
you do not know the login and password, ask your site coordinator. If you
know the login and password and still have a problem obtaining these files
via the web, ask your site coordinator to contact the McIDAS Help Desk by
e-mail or by phone at (608) 262-2455.
