For more detailed information, please consult the misr_view user's guide, located in the "ug5.3_html" directory under the "external" directory or online at https://nasa.github.io/MISR-View/ . The FAQ below offers additional information. Once misr_view is unpacked, there should be two top-level directories, "external" and "src". The "src" directory contains all of the source code for all of the modules that comprise misr_view. The "external" directory contains all files that are needed to operate misr_view. Generally speaking, the user does not need to recompile the source code. For information regarding the history of changes to misr_view, please refer to the file "CHANGELOG". PLEASE READ THE FAQ AT THE END OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ========================================================================= OPTION #1 OPTION #1 OPTION #1 OPTION #1 OPTION #1 OPTION #1 STARTING UP MISR_VIEW WITHOUT A LICENSED VERSION OF IDL ========================================================================= A "licensed version of IDL" means that you have purchased a copy of IDL from Harris Geospatial Solutions, Inc. (http://www.harrisgeospatial.com). If you have never dealt with this company, you probably do not have a valid IDL license. In order to run misr_view without an IDL license, the IDL Virtual Machine (IDL-VM) must be downloaded from the HARRIS website. Due to export control policies, download and installation of IDL (and subsequently the IDL Virtual Machine) requires that you complete the registration and verification process via the HARRIS website. Once done, click on 'My Account' in the top right-hand corner, navigate to "Downloads", and then "All Downloads". Select the appropriate platform to begin the download and installation process. Installation of the Virtual Machine will not be covered in this document. --------------- Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista --------------- (1) Start the IDL-VM by double-clicking the IDL-VM icon or selecting the IDL-VM via the Start button. (2) Dismiss the IDL-VM window that appears by clicking the "click to continue" button. (3) When the selection dialog box appears, find and select the "misr_view.sav" file and click the "OK" button. "misr_view.sav" will be located in the "external" directory. The data selection interface and main console should appear on the screen. ------------- Macintosh OSX Macintosh OSX Macintosh OSX Macintosh OSX Macintosh OSX ------------- There are two ways to invoke the IDL-VM on a Mac, either via a terminal window, or by clicking on the IDL-VM icon. The latter will be covered here, the former below. (1) Start the IDL-VM by double-clicking the IDL-VM icon. (2) Dismiss the IDL-VM window that appears by clicking the "click to continue" button. (3) When the selection dialog box appears, find and select the "misr_view.sav" file and click the "OK" button. "misr_view.sav" will be located in the "external" directory. The data selection interface and main console should appear on the screen. ----------------------------- UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX ----------------------------- Please note that it is assumed that the IDL-VM has been configured on your system. If the steps below do not work, most likely the IDL-VM is not set up properly on your system. Consult with a system administrator if you have one, or look at the online documentation for the IDL-VM (http://www.rsinc.com/idlvm/idlvm.pdf). (1) In a terminal window, type: idl -vm (2) Dismiss the IDL-VM window that appears by clicking the "click to continue" button. (3) When the selection dialog box appears, find and select the "misr_view.sav" file and click the "OK" button. "misr_view.sav" will be located in the "external" directory. The data selection interface and main console should appear on the screen. ========================================================================= OPTION #2 OPTION #2 OPTION #2 OPTION #2 OPTION #2 OPTION #2 STARTING UP MISR_VIEW WITH A LICENSED VERSION OF IDL (PRE-COMPILED CODE) ========================================================================= A "licensed version of IDL" means that you have purchased a copy of IDL from Harris Geospatial Solutions, Inc. (http://www.harrisgeospatial.com). If you have never dealt with this company, you probably do not have a valid IDL license. Please see how to run misr_view without an IDL license (above)... Please note that misr_view users who have a valid IDL license can run misr_view as unlicensed users do... If you *do* have a valid IDL license, follow the instructions below for your specific operating system if you want to invoke misr_view from pre-compiled code: --------------- Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista Windows XP/2000/7/Vista --------------- (1) Start up IDL. (2) Make the "external" directory the current active directory. For example, if the desired current directory is C:\misr_stuff\misr_view\external\, the following command would be entered at the IDL command line: CD,'C:\misr_stuff\misr_view\external\' (3) At the IDL command line, type the following: RESTORE,'misr_view.sav' (4) Then, simply type: misr_view The data selection interface and main console should appear on the screen. ------------------------------ UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX UNIX/Linux/Macintosh OSX/IRIX ------------------------------ (1) Start up IDL in either command-line mode or the IDL Development Interface, "idlde". (2) Make the "external" directory the current active directory. For example, if the desired current directory is /home/misr/misr_view/external/, the following command would be entered at the IDL command line: CD,'/home/misr/misr_view/external/' (3) At the IDL command line, type the following: RESTORE,'misr_view.sav' (4) Then, simply type: misr_view The data selection interface and main console should appear on the screen. ========================================================================= OPTION #3 OPTION #3 OPTION #3 OPTION #3 OPTION #3 OPTION #3 STARTING UP MISR_VIEW WITH A LICENSED VERSION OF IDL (SOURCE CODE) ========================================================================= A "licensed version of IDL" means that you have purchased a copy of IDL from Harris Geospatial Solutions, Inc. (http://www.harrisgeospatial.com). If you have never dealt with this company, you probably do not have a valid IDL license. Please see how to run misr_view without an IDL license (above)...

The assumption here is that the user knows how to start up the browser application. Once the browser is active, use the "Open File..." or "Open..." menu item under the "File" menu to open the file "misr_view_ug5.3.html", which is located in the "ug5.3_html" directory under the "external" directory. ========================================================================= ========================================================================= >>> QUESTION: Are there any differences in functionailty when running misr_view without a valid IDL license? >>> ANSWER: Yes. When running misr_view with the IDL-VM, users will not be able to modify or create transform files. Some transform files are provided with misr_view, and these should be sufficient for most users. The transform interface is described in detail in the misr_view user's guide. ========================================================================= ========================================================================= >>> QUESTION: How does one make a directory "active" on a PC so that a licensed IDL user can run misr_view? >>> ANSWER: There are several ways to do this; look in the IDL documents to see how to add directories to a search list. Another way to do this is by using the IDL command "CD". For example, if the desired current directory is C:\misr_stuff\misr_view\external\, the following command would be entered at the IDL command line: CD,'C:\misr_stuff\misr_view\external\' ========================================================================= 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
