Re: [las_users] Animations on Hourly Data

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Daniel,
There's an hourly dataset on the NVODS server,

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/NVODS/getUI.do?dsid=HFRadar_CA_6km_rtv_SIO&varid=v&auto=true

which like your example is a single day of hourly data.  It's animation 
works as expected.  I've attached its xml configuration file, and the 
dataset it uses is on an opendap server.  Maybe you'll be able to spot 
something that will help you  (It uses an old-fashioned init script to 
define a "speed" variable, you could just take that out.)

When we bring it up with in the LAS Animation screen, we don't see the input form boxes for the time range.  And clicking on submit just causes the interface to hang.  We don't see any explicit error messages in the logs when we do this, and no errors appear in the browser.
