V. Instructions to Activate the Geostationary Scales provided in the RPM

A set of xml files is included in each TOWR-S RPM to (optionally) enable display of GOES imagery using a full-disk, geostationary projection.  This is the native projection of the GOES-16/17 products. In order to activate these map scales:

1. Install the TOWR-S RPM per the instructions above.This will add the following files to your site path
 
/awips2/edex/data/utility/cave_static/site/<your_site_ID>/bundles/scales/
 
GOES-Test_Full_Disk_scales.xml
GOES-East_Full_Disk_scales.xml
GOES-West_Full_Disk_scales.xml.
 
2. In the Localization Perspective, in the same list below "scales", open the file, scalesInfo.xml. This is found under the folders CAVE-->Bundles-->Scales.  Add these lines (as described in the comments within the xml files in step 1. The location you add them is wher ethey will appear chronologically in the Scales pull-down.  You may opt to save off a copy of this file, 1st)
 
 <mapScale displayName="Geostationary GOES-Center" fileName="GOES-Test_Full_Disk_scales.xml">
      </mapScale>
<mapScale displayName="Geostationary GOES-East" fileName="GOES-East_Full_Disk_scales.xml">
      </mapScale>
<mapScale displayName="Geostationary GOES-West" fileName="GOES-West_Full_Disk_scales.xml">
      </mapScale>
 
3. Be sure to save the edited file, scalesInfo.xml. One user found the scalesInfo.xml file needed to be promoted to the site level, in the same directory as the three GOES-*scales.xml files. He also made the permissions of the files from 644 to 755.  In all cases, ensure the ownership on the files is awips:fxalpha.
 
4. Restart D2D to see the new scale in the scales pull-down list.
