SDI GVAR version 2005jun01
Software and Instructions
SDI GVAR version 2005jun01 contains modifications to the GVAR ingestor to
include support of the GOES-13 satellite (scheduled for launch in June 2005).
See the SDI GVAR Software Changes page to see
the list of changes for all versions of SDI GVAR available on the McIDAS Website.
Important Note: Beginning with this 2005jun01 version, the SDI installation opens only
port 112 (ports 500 and 503 are no longer opened). Therefore, 2005jun01 SDI
GVAR servers will respond only to data requests from clients running McIDAS-X
version 2005 or 2004 (and also 2003 if the client’s MCCOMPRESS environment
variable is set to "gzip"). Thus, commands sent to server port 500 or 503 from
clients running older versions will fail on the client (eventually timeout
because of no response). See the McIDAS-X
Version 2005 Upgrade Procedure for
more information.
You can obtain the SDI GVAR version 2005jun01 files through this webpage if
you purchased MUG support for your SDI GVAR system or have been contacted

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.
