Geodas Grid Translator can open existing grids for revising, or create custom grids with boundaries of your choosing. If you are custom designing an output grid be sure to see Designing Custom Grids .
MS Windows:
Start -> Programs -> GEODAS -> Grid Translator
UNIX Xwindows:
Type geodas at the xterm prompt to start GEODAS Launch Pad. Then click
on the Grid Translator icon.
You can also start Grid Translator from the web browser interface of any of the GEODAS Gridded Databases by clicking on the Design-a-Grid button.
When using Design-a-Grid in Grid Translator, you must choose the database(s) you wish to use in creating your grid. The Grid Database Dialog allows you to choose from among all installed GEODAS Grid Databases. If you are using more than one grid database, be sure to select them in the order that you want them processed. (Where grid databases overlap, the overlapping cells will be filled with values from the later database.)
Enter the appropriate information in the Grid Parameter dialog.
If you opened a grid, most of this information will be already there and you
may change selected parameters. If you are custom designing a grid you will
enter the values you want for your output grid.
These are the file options for your output grid. Use
the Grid Options Dialog to determine format,
byte swapping, header, delimiter, etc.
You will next be presented with the Save Grid Dialog. Use this to name your output file and determine the directory you wish to save it in.
Once you click the OK button Grid Translator will Execute. If you are using the Design-a-Grid option you may be asked to load the appropriate GEODAS Gridded Database CD(s) as they are needed. You may need to locate the path to the CD Root.
