It is possible to run SeaDAS without purchasing an IDL license from
ITT Visual
Information Solutions. This "runtime" mode is available for all
supported platforms and uses an IDL
"embedded license". Running SeaDAS in this mode will take slightly
longer to start up, but thereafter will run as fast as with a full
IDL development license.
NOTE: Installing this feature does not limit you to only running SeaDAS in runtime mode.
The compressed tar file seadas_idl_rt.tar.gz contains all the files required to implement this feature. If you do not already have SeaDAS installed on your machine, follow the standard installation instructions.
If you do have SeaDAS installed, it is not necessary to reinstall the
whole SeaDAS software package in order to use the this feature. You
may evaluate the runtime feature by simply downloading the file
seadas_idl_rt.tar.gz and extracting it into your $SEADAS home
directory. (This file will require approximately 500MB of additional
disk space when extracted.)
To use runtime SeaDAS (with the IDL embedded license):
> seadas -em
To run SeaDAS using a full IDL development license:
> seadas
Full automation of data and graphics processing is possible when using runtime SeaDAS. The main limitation is that the IDL command line is not available. However, the SeaDAS command mode is still accessible via use of SeaDAS batch scripts. These scripts can be fully-functioning (slightly modified) IDL procedures. The only limitation of this approach is that the batch scripts must be run non-interactively, meaning SeaDAS will exit after the batch file's last line is parsed.
You can use the User-defined Band Commands capability
(mband_cmd) to interactively access SeaDAS and IDL functions
when working with loaded band data.
