AWIPS contains two methods for saving and loading data resources: Bundles are a simple way to save loaded resources to access in future CAVE sessions. Procedures are similar to Bundles, but can be thought of a groups of bundles and allows the user to manage saved resources with more control.
Bundles
File > Open Bundle
Load a previously-saved bundle from within the AWIPS system. The Open Bundle dialog allows you to select your own saved bundles as well as those saved by other users.
Each selected bundle will load its contents to new tabs which are named after the bundle file name (e.g. NAM_ThetaE)
Most saved bundles will consist of a single Map Editor (tab), but with multiple tabs saved each will open again in its own Map Editor
File > Save Bundle
Save a product display within the AWIPS system, synching the bundle between CAVE and the EDEX server.
File > Delete Bundle
Select and remove a saved bundle under File > Delete Bundle. Select the file name and click OK and then confirm deletion to remove the saved file permanently.
Load Bundle from Local Disk
To load a previously-saved display from a path within the file directory of the workstation, select File > Open Bundle and then select the File button on the right to browse your local directories.
Save Bundle to Local Disk
To save a product display to a path within the file directory of the workstation, select File > Save Bundle and then select the File button on the right.
Procedures
New Procedure
- Select the menu File > Procedures > New
- Select Copy Into to add all loaded resources 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 Bundle files.
