Metview's documentation is now on readthedocs!

The structure of the user interface is similar in GRIB and BUFR modes: in both cases it is made up of five main panels.

These panels are as follows:

File information panel

This panel is located at the top and displays detailed information about the currently loaded file.

It can be shown/hidden with the

button in the toolbar.

File list panel

This panel is located on the left and contains the list of input files

Click on a given file in the list to load it into codesUi (only one file can be loaded at a time). 

To add a new file to the list use the FileAdd file ...  menu (or press Ctrl+N).

The file list panel can be shown/hidden with the

button in the toolbar. Alternatively it can be closed with the button next to its title.

Message list panel

This panel contains the list of the messages in the currently loaded file and it is located in the middle of the user interface (see here for details on the  BUFR Message List panel).

Message content panel

This is the area right of the Message list panel to show the metadata and data of the currently selected message. Its structure and contents is different in GRIB and BUFR files (for details about the BUFR mode click here).

Log panel

This panel at the bottom of the interface shows the log messages.

It can be shown/hidden with the

button in the toolbar.
