Steve, I'm copying you because you may find this helpful...<br>
<br>
In your describe.general file you had three variables, Time,
Direction, and Velocity.<br>
<br>
Create a DX net that looks like this....<br>
<br>
<img alt="dxnet" src="cid:part1.00030309.08050705@mercer.edu"
height="693" width="862"><br>
<br>
<br>
If you click on Import you it will open up and give you some
options. Here is what I put in it...<br>
<br>
<img alt="dximport" src="cid:part2.00020009.07080806@mercer.edu"
height="315" width="804"><br>
<br>
Note -- your file that you created in the data importer was called
describe.general. I had to include that exact filename in the
Import box. I am also only importing two of your variables.<br>
<br>
Now, once you get this to run and run the program an image window
should open. If you click on the AutoAxis tab (I think it is
under options in the Image window) you can name your X and Y
axis. See if you can get this to work and let me know if you
have other questions.<br>

<div>Alright -- I just looked back at your data. Here are
some options....<br>
<br>
1. Since you have time (always increasing) as your
independent variable you could plot it on the X-axis and
then plot the direction on the Y-Axis with the velocity on
the Z-Axis. This will give you a 3-D parametric curve
through a 3D space. I don't know if we can really glean
anything from it, but might be a place to start.<br>
<br>
2. You could break your data down into hourly averages and
plot the results for several 24 hour day periods to see if
and how they change. In this case I would have my X-axis
be the hours, the Y axis be the direction and the Z-axis
be the velocity. You could alternatively do a color map
for the velocity rather than using a third dimension.<br>
<br>
3. Another option would be to do what I mentioned in 2,
but swap out the velocity and direction.<br>
<br>
4. I seem to remember you wanting to see how the
information changed as a storm approached (tell me if I am
not remembering this correctly). If that is the case you
could do something like 2 or 3, but mark off the "regular
cycles" prior to the storms approach. It things really do
change once the storm hits, it should be obvious from a
plot like this.<br>
<br>
<br>
Let me know how I can help.

<div>Okay -- so I was able to reproduce the
graphic you sent me and it does indeed look
like you are reading the data in correctly. I
think the next piece of the puzzle is for you
to figure out what you want to visualize. In
other words, now that we know Data Explorer
can read the data, we get to decide how we
want to display it. <br>
<br>
Have you given that some thought?
