The plotting tools do not work yet on SRI's Solaris-based site, which I
hope to fix with the next release. The issue when you used the
Millstone Madrigal server was more subtle. SRI stored their data as
NEL (log of electron density) rather than NE (electron density).
Madrigal now derives one from the other, but this method didn't exist
for the last release, so doesn't work for SRI data. The plot works
from the Millstone Madrigal server if you choose NEL as a parameter.<br>
<br>
Sorry for these problems. Let me know if NEL doesn't work.<br>

P.S. One more subtle warning about these plotting tools. SRI generates
a lot of different data files for a given experiment, processed in
different ways. The plotting program goes through them in order,
choosing the first one that has the parameter you selected. If there
is more than one file with NEL, you may not get the one you want.<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I am trying to develop
some madrigal ‘homework assignments’
for some undergrads who are working for me. I thought I’d have them
start by making some plots for some of my sondrestrom experiments, but
I cannot
get either ‘simple madrigal data access’ or ‘plot data from
instruments’ to work. In the past I’ve always downloaded
ascii files of data, this is my first attempt to use the online
applications.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
