It also allows the user to set a delta value for going forward (positive) or backward (negative). Additionally, the user can advance by single steps through data or continuously. When the end of the range is reached, the animator will wrap around the end of the range to the opposite end by delta. A second set of variables allows the synchronous control of two viewing windows. Output from the animator will cease for "Pause Seconds" # after each previous output. For connection to an AVS reader module to control record number updates to effect animation, output_integer_1 should be wired to an integer port visible </pre> </blockquote> <h3>Input </h3> <blockquote> <pre> parameter on the reader. The reader module should output number of hours and current hour, and these should be wired to the ANIMATE DUAL input ports "Max Value 1" and "Current Value 1", respectively, for a first window. For a seconds window, these should be wired to the ANIMATE DUAL "Max Value 2" and "Current Value 2" input ports. For better coordination between the reader and the animator, perhaps a more ideal arrangement would be to make the reader have 3 record values (current, min, and max) to match those of the animator.

This system provides a unified method of analysis and visualization for data output from different environmental air quality models. Remotely, standard output files from the following models can be read into AVS: ROM (Regional Oxidant Model) RADM (Regional Acid Deposition Model), low res and high res RADM (Regional Acid Depostion Model) Emissions, low res UAM (Urban Airshed Model, regulatory version) UAM (Urban Airshed Model, AREAL research version) UAM Wind (Urban Airshed Model, regulatory version) MCNC ALPHA-Prototype netCDF files Alternatively, xdr portable binary AVS fields can be created from these data types and accessed directly from the local workstation. You can download these modules individually from the IAC using anonymous ftp to the appropriate directories /avs_modules at avs.ncsc.org. If you would like to download the entire suite of modules, networks, and sample datasets at the same time, the IAC recommends that you use anonymous ftp to grab the following file from avs.ncsc.org - /sample_data/avs_data/MCNC_Env_Pgms/MCNC_Env_Pgms.tar.Z This contains all source code to all local and remote modules, as well as all of the sample datasets, networks, documentation, installation, and usage notes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>  </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr height="100%"> <td class="sideLink" width="25%" align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><a href="../../../../../general/index.shtml" target="_top">General Information</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../../repository/index.shtml" target="_top">Repositories</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../new/index.shtml" target="_top">  New Releases</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../download/index.shtml" target="_top">  Download</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../submit/index.shtml" target="_top">  Submit</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../pfiles/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Files</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../avs5/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS5</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../input.shtml" target="_top">    Data Input</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../filters.shtml" target="_top">    Filters</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../mappers.shtml" target="_top">    Mappers</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../output.shtml" target="_top">    Data Output</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../misc.shtml" target="_top">    Miscellaneous</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../express/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS/Express</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../pog/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Guidelines</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../../usergroup/index.shtml" target="_top">User Group</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../../training/index.shtml" target="_top">Training Materials</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="c6c6e0"> <tr> <td><img src="../../../../../img/foot1.gif" alt="IAC" width="155" height="25"></td> <td width="100%"> Last Updated:  26th November 2002 </td> </tr> </table>
