Automation / Scripting of Weather Graphics' Digital Atmosphere

The Digital Atmosphere software by Weather Graphics has a scripting interface but not everything is scriptable. The following program is something I put together to allow for a little more flexibility. I've tested it on DA Pro. If DA users can let me know if this works on the Standard version I would appreciate it.

You can call this program from a DAP script. It takes three parameters, each being optional. To call it run

DAPro_Auto.exe DPC=XX ISL=XXX AL=XXXXXX

Where

  • DPC = the data plot crowding value
  • ISL = Isentropic level -- do not include '°K'
  • AL = Active Level

For example

DAPro_Auto DPC=80

sets the data plot crowding value to 80

DAPro_Auto DPC=85 ISL=262

sets the data plot crowding value to 85 and the isentropic level to 262°K

The AL parameter may require quotes if the value has a space in it such as:

DAPro_Auto DPC=85 AL="925 mb"

You can use just one, two, or all three command-line values in combination

Download DAPro_Auto and the WinBatch source code here.

 

I also have a complete automation library and script processor for the GRLevelX Software.
