iMRV Downloads

DOWNLOAD iMRV Latest Version 26 Feb 2010 (88 MB)

This is an OS X Disk Image (.dmg) file. It will automatically download and open. Drag the entire iMRV folder to your main /Applications folder or the one in your own account. To launch, double-click iMRV.app. This actually starts the IDL Virtual Machine which then automatically launches the iMRV tool.

Tutorials are available and with a few minutes of viewing, you should be ready to work.

A little suggestion: Mac OS seems to be pretty agnostic as to where you put applications. But since I may be producing IDL tools of various sorts outside of iMRV, you might want to make a folder inside your Applications folder called RasmussenSystems, and put all of my stuff in there. Just to keep things organized.
26 Feb 2010, Changes...
  1. Fixed bug in SAM reader that was leading to an error message about an incorrect value for "na"
  2. Slight appearance changes in the cropping tool
25 Feb 2010, Changes...
  1. Added Field Line plotting as a visualization type.
  2. Fixed a bug in Operations->Vector Ops->Velocity when w had been promoted to a higher resolution than u and v
  3. Added the cropping tool to allow users to quickly focus in on a region of interest
  4. Removed the clip limit properties from all visualizations; they are now automatically set to uniform values via the cropping tool
  5. Cropping to regions of interest causes the rotation tool to recenter on those regions, making examination of small regions much easier
  6. Made a slight improvement to the appearance of vectors
  7. Turned off axes. They can be added by inspecting the axes properties in the visualization browser, and setting the Style property
  8. Changed the shininess property of isosurface visualizations
  9. Got rid of the "controller visualization"
10 Feb 2010, Changes...
  1. Added the Velocity filter under Operations->Vector Ops->Velocity from Components. Using this operation will add a field called Velocity to your SAM folder.
  2. Add vector plotting as a visualization type.
  3. Fixed the bug causing the grayed-out label interval in the contour plotting
6 Feb 2010, Changes...
  1. Added the Reflectivity filter under Operations->Derived Grids->Compute Reflectivity. This will add a reflectivity grid to the data set using the particle species fields the user specifies, at the resolution of the highest-resolution species field.
4 Feb 2010, late evening, Changes...
  1. Added Contour as a visualization type. This is very customizable. I'll demonstrate in a tutorial that I will put up tomorrow. Eventually, you will have the ability to edit each contour in the set. Until then, it should be adequate.
  2. Fixed visualization names in browser. Note that you can edit them by right-clicking and displaying their properties, to make them more meaningful to your work.
  3. Finished and tested the three-dimensional clipping algorithm on both contours and isosurfaces.
  4. Fixed errors where clipping would reset to the whole grid when grid resolution was changed
4 Feb 2010 Changes...
  1. Support for SAM files larger than 4 GB.
  2. Made grid minimum and maximum properties of each field, visible in the Data Manager
  3. Added hourglass when converting file resolution because there was no user feedback previously
  4. Fixed bug that crashed the SAM file reader when reading the field name metadata
  5. Some rudimentary contouring is in place; not yet ready for real work.
I archive older versions and can make them available if you ever need them.
iMRV should run on OS X, Linux, UNIX, and Windows. I do not test it on those machines. If you would like to give it a try, let me know and I can provide a test version for you.
DOWNLOAD SysInfo Latest version: 14 Feb 2010 (29 MB)

This is an OS X Disk Image (.dmg) file. It will automatically download and open. Drag the entire SysInfo folder to any spot you wish, and then double-click the SysInfo.app to run it. It will print out some information into the associated x-terminal. Copy/paste the output to a safe location, and click OK to close the application
