SDI-104
GVAR version 20120111
Software and Instructions
Note: This version (20120111) is the latest update
to the current SDI-104 GVAR full release ( 20080930). Because the updates
are cumulative, this version contains the previous updates (20091021, 20100330
and 20111205). Also note that updates are partial releases that contain only
a subset of the full release so if you are doing an initial install on a
workstation you must first install the full release, and then the latest
update. See the SDI Software page for all available full releases and updates.
SDI-104 GVAR version 20120111 contains updates to fix a problem where an IMGCOPY
(or other IMG* command) that requests a complete GOES-15 Sub-CONUS image while
it's being ingested produces a blank line at the point in which the ingestor
starts receiving Sounder data. See the SDI-104
GVAR Software Changes page to see the list of changes for all versions
of SDI-104 GVAR available on the McIDAS Website.
