Current Page: NeXtMidas Training RMIF & Remoting Remoting Lab Instructions
- - 3. | 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: Download the initial X-Midas application remoteorig.txt and save it as in the `mcr` area of your `TRAIN` option tree. Review with the X-Midas macro instructor. 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
- - 3. 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: Download the modified "remoted" X-Midas server application (remoteserver.txt). Review the differences with the instructor 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
- - 4. 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: Download the "remoted" NeXtMidas client application (remoteclient.mm). Review the NeXtMidas client with the instructor Run the X-Midas server macro as in Part B. In another terminal, start a NeXtMidas shell and run the client macro...
           nM> home mcr train
           nM> %remoteclient
Click the `OPEN` button to open a connection to the server. Raster data should start to flow in the plot window. Move the mouse over the raster and watch the X-Midas server plot change.
