Displays and Procedures

AWIPS contains two methods for saving and loading data resources: Displays are a simple way to save loaded resources into a bundle file to access in future CAVE sessions. Procedures are similar to Displays, but can be thought of as groups of displays and allows the user to manage saved resources with more control.

Displays

File > Load Display

Load a previously-saved display from within the AWIPS system. The pop-up dialog allows you to select your own saved displays as well as those saved by other users.

When loading a display, all existing tabs will be closed and replaced with the contents from the saved display.

Most saved displays will consist of a single Map Editor (tab), but with multiple tabs saved each will open again in its own Map Editor.

Load Display from Local Disk

To load a previously-saved display from a path within the file directory locally, select File > Load Display and then select the File button on the right to browse your local directories.

File > Save Display

Save a product display within the AWIPS system. This saves the display both locally and to the EDEX server for your specific user.

File > Save Display Locally

To save a product display to a path within the file directory locally, select File > Save Display Locally and then select the File button on the right.

File > Manage Bundles

Select and remove a saved display under File > Manage Bundles, this will open a pop-up dialog. Select the file name and click OK and then confirm deletion to remove the saved file permanently.

Procedures

New Procedure

Select the menu File > Procedures > New
Select Copy Into to add all loaded resources from your current map to the Procedure Stack
Select Save (or Save As) and then enter a name for the Procedure before clicking OK to save.

Open Procedure

Similar to creating a new Procedure, select File > Procedures > Open, select the saved resources and click Load to load them to CAVE.

Delete Procedure

From the menu File > Procedures > Delete you can delete existing Procedure files in a way similar to deleting saved display files.
