- update: This lab assumes access to our NMS server via http://nextmidas.com, which is not currently available.
- Before You Start:
  - Before you start you need to install NeXtMidas as an option tree for X-Midas (NeXtOpt).
  - Please see the NeXtOpt Setup page in the X-Midas Interoperability module for details.
- Lab 1 (Part A):
  - In this part you will review and run an X-Midas application before remoting modifications are made.
  - What you need to do:
    1. Download the initial X-Midas application remoteorig.txt and save it as in the `mcr` area of your `TRAIN` option tree.
    2. Review with the X-Midas macro instructor.
    3. Open an X-Midas shell, if the `NXM` option tree is not already on your X-Midas path, add it now...

           X-Midas> xmopt nxm $NMROOT/nxm/sys
           X-Midas> xmp nxm

    4. Set your home path to the mcr area of the train option tree.

           X-Midas> home $NMROOT/nxm/train/mcr

    5. Translate the X-Midas macro:

           X-Midas> mtrans %remoteorig

    6. Run it as follows:

           X-Midas> %remoteorig

- Lab 1 (Part B):
  - In this part you will review the modifications to the X-Midas necessary to remote the macro in Part A with `RMIF`.
  - What you need to do:
    1. Download the modified "remoted" X-Midas server application (remoteserver.txt).
    2. Review the differences with the instructor
    3. In the X-Midas shell you used in part A, translate the macro and run it as follows:

           X-Midas> mtrans %remoteserver
           X-Midas> %remoteserver

- Lab 1 (Part C):
  - In this part you will review the NeXtMidas remote client macro then run it in conjunction with the X-Midas server macro in Part B.
  - What you need to do:
    1. Download the "remoted" NeXtMidas client application (remoteclient.mm).
    2. Review the NeXtMidas client with the instructor
    3. Run the X-Midas server macro as in Part B.
    4. In another terminal, start a NeXtMidas shell and run the client macro...

           nM> home mcr train
           nM> %remoteclient

    5. Click the `OPEN` button to open a connection to the server.
    6. Raster data should start to flow in the plot window.
    7. Move the mouse over the raster and watch the X-Midas server plot change.
