Input Rainfall Data

[Killultagh]

Is it possible for Geo SCADA to input rainfall data from an external source and display via its internal map feature?

What format is the rainfall data? If it's a WMS map - add as a layer to maps.

If it's a matrix of values, you could store each in a point, set their Geo positions, then have a query layer which renders them into a map. You can animate symbol size and colour to indicate level.

The format would likely be GRIB2 (GRIdded Binary version 2) or if rendered prior to input then CSV.

You could create a database item or DataTable or DataGrid row for each XY co-ordinate for which you have data. Then import the source data values into these items.

Then create a query which lists their assigned Lat/Long and values, linking it to a query layer in the map.

You could write a VB or Python script to interpret GRIB source and insert into Geo SCADA.
