McIDAS-V Documentation
There are three main sources for McIDAS-V Documentation: the McIDAS-V User’s Guide, online tutorials, and instructional videos.
The McIDAS-V User’s Guide provides comprehensive information on how to use McIDAS-V and all its features. The McIDAS-V User’s Guide is available online and is also accessible within McIDAS-V from the main menu under Help.
The McIDAS-V tutorials provide step-by-step instructions on how to utilize the features of McIDAS-V. If you have never run McIDAS-V on your machine, you should start with Installation and Introduction, and then proceed to the data topics that interest you.
The instructional videos cover specific features of McIDAS-V. The Introduction video highlights many of the capabilities of McIDAS-V, while the others answer many of the frequently asked questions received at the McIDAS Help Desk.
We are constantly adding to the video library, so please submit a request in the McIDAS-V Support Forums if you have an idea for a new instructional video topic.
