Hi Gilbert,

I think you want to use DATALOC ADD RTGOESR ADDE.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU

Good morning everyone,

About a week ago, I suddenly lost our GLM derived flash data for no apparent 
reason. Single strikes are coming in and plotting fine, but derived data such 
as Total Optical Energy (TOE), etc suddenly disappeared on my end. NWS says the 
data is still going out fine.

Until I can figure this out on my end, I decided that maybe I should just get 
it from the UNIDATA ADDE server
for now. I tried to do this:

dsserve.k ADD RTGOESR/GLMEVENT GLMN TYPE=POINT 
INFO=/home/mcidas/data/GLM_EVENT.cfg ADDE.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU

But it gives me this error:
dsserve.k: You must enter a min and max file  pair with this dataset.
dsserve.k: done

Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!
