 Grid Levels and Parameters
 ==========================
 `Notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/Unidata/python-awips/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.ipynb>`_
-This example covers the callable methods of python-awips when working
-with gridded data. We start with a connection to an EDEX server, then
-query data types, then grid names, parameters, levels, and other
-information. Finally the gridded data is plotted for its domain using
-Matplotlib and Cartopy.

-DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes()
---------------------------------------
+--------------

-getSupportedDatatypes() returns a list of available data types offered
-by the EDEX server defined above.
+Objectives
+==========
+
+-  Cover the relevant methods for accessing EDEX and investigating what
+   data is available.
+-  This example we look at the “grid” data type and investigate the
+   Global Forcast System (GFS) model.
+-  We will talk quite a bit about the **DataAccessLayer** utility, and
+   its `online
+   documentation <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#>`__
+   might be a helpful reference.

+1 Imports
+---------
+
+Start by importing the DataAccessLayer package from python-awips:

 .. code:: ipython3

    from awips.dataaccess import DataAccessLayer
-    import unittest
-    
-    DataAccessLayer.changeEDEXHost("edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu")
+
+`Top <https://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.html>`__
+
+--------------
+
+2 Connect to EDEX
+-----------------
+
+Define a url for your EDEX connection, and then point python-awips at
+that EDEX
+
+.. code:: ipython3
+
+    # Unidata's cloud EDEX instance is used in this example
+    edex_url = "edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu"

+3 Get a List of Supported Data Types
+------------------------------------
+
+`DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes>`__
+returns a list of supported data types offered by the EDEX server
+defined above. The code below shows how to populate, sort, and print out
+that list.
+
+.. code:: ipython3
+
    dataTypes = DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes()
    dataTypes.sort()

+
+4 Create a New Data Request and Set the Type
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Now create a new data request using
+`DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest>`__,
+and set the data type using
+`request.setDatatype() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/IDataRequest.html#awips.dataaccess.IDataRequest.setDatatype>`__.
+Below we create a few different requests with different data types to
+show some differences with other methods.
+
+For this example we are going to look at the **grid** data type, which
+is where the model data can be found, along with some other datasets
+(such as MRMS).

 .. code:: ipython3

-    request = DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest()
-    request.setDatatype("grid")

+method to find out what locations are available for the given dataset.
+Typically these will be geographic locations or NWS sites, although in
+some instances it will be something else. Take a look at what’s
+outputted for the grid_request, for example.
