Using SFUK archives

Hello,

Plotting (current and trends) SFUK-data works fine for latest downloaded files. But has anyone a suggustion how to plot from saved and reloaded archives. I can only display the latest (24 UTC) and its trend. But how if I wish to display the 12 UTC from any archived datafile?

Cheers,

Doesn't File > Import From File work? When you do this it produces a QUEUE.SFE file, which contains any SFUK bulletins that were ingested. These are then plotted whenever you choose the Data > Sferics command.

Tim,

When reloaded any archive from SFUK then I have two options in the the data -> sferics: Current and 6-hour trend. <Current> is plotting the latest in the SFUK-file and the 6-hour trend the trend from latest report. No options to plot any other requested time in that file.

But when I remove some hourly reports from the .SFE file and open this one with <file open> then I do get the requested time from that report.

I believe that this works for time being, but wouldn't it better to have also the option to choose any requested time from the menu? If it is burried in any scriptcommand, how to?

Thanks anyway for the hint of the .SFE file.

Cheers,
