Grib importing

Hi all,

I`m new to DAWS, and just downloaded to trial version. I wanted to try it out with importing grib data, but I`ve never done this before. If I can figure it out and it works as I hoped it would then I will be buying this.

I`ve tried importing grib data from Nomads, but I get this error `List of index out of bounds (-1)` when I press `select field`.

Is it an easy thing importing, ingesting and plotting grib data with DAWS?

Is this the software for me? I`m looking for software that can download, ingest, plot, export and ftp imagery to my site.

Dear meweather:

You might find some useful information by going to page 2 here and following the thread "Grib data and importing". There was another user with similar concerns to yours. Hope this helps. If you need more help, feel free to ask.

Cordially,

I`m also getting the same error when trying to plot or contour a grib file. I`ve run through the manual, followed everything closely. Yup, I use the 211 grid. The file(s) will import fine, the problem occurs when I select the field, press OK and the error will be thrown up.

`List of index out of bounds (-1)`

I just downloaded the recent patch in the hope it would solve this problem, but it still comes up. FWIW, I`m running W2K professional on a fairly powerful machine.

I just checked my version of DAWS this morning (04-18-05 05:22a) and imported a grib file for forcast hour 24 of the data set for 04-16-05. The data plotted just fine. Are you importing more than one forecast hour at a time? This might be the source of the problem. I used the 211 grid for the NAM model from the NOMADS data site.

Yup, one forecast hour at a time and it throws up that error. I`m due to reformat my hard drive in a few days, maybe a clean install of DAWS might do the trick.

I`m 99% sure it`s a problem with DAWS, or the copy running on my machine. Weasel kindly emailed me a grib file that works ok on his machine but fails on mine.

Well, I finally downloaded the latest version and it is a fresh install but I`m still getting the dreaded `out of bounds` error.

The grib files import ok, the problem comes after I have selected field, it will just throws up this error and do nothing else.

Where`s Tim these days?
