Image 1: TDS Radar Chooser

1. Choose the Catalog to use:

2. Choose the Collection to use:

3. For Level III and TDWR data, choose the Product to use:

4. Select a station using the map:

   Once a station and a radar product have been selected the TDS server will be queried as to the available times.

5. You may choose a relative set of times steps (e.g., Last 5 times):

6. Or, choose a set of absolute times (e.g., 12Z, 1Z):

   When choosing absolute times for the first time the IDV needs to query the ADDE server for the times. This may take some time. Times can be selected in the list or the time line (use control/click or shift/click in the list to select multiple times). See the Timeline section for details on its use.

7. Or, match the times of the current active display window:

   This assumes the current active display window has a display with the time driver set. A display can be set as a time driver in the Time Subset panel in the Field Selector tab or the View menu in the Dashbaord's Displays tab.

8. When done, load the selected radar data with the Add Source button.
