Current Version:


      kubeviz_v2.1.tar.gz (06/11/2017)

We appreciate if you drop an email to dwilman at mpe.mpg.de or mfossati at mpe.mpg.de when you download Kubeviz such that we can update you on new features and bug fixes.

Troubleshooting:


The number one problem users are reporting with Kubeviz is related to third-party IDL libraries being obsolete! Almost all third-party IDL libraries are dynamic libraries. They grow, they change, bugs are fixed, and functionality is added. If your problem is with a third-party library, the first thing you should do is update your library. Be sure you restart IDL after you do.


  1. 1)If you see this message:


     [WARNING] ##      This is a 32 bit IDL version.                ##

     [WARNING] ##  Some features might now work correctly  ##


There is no reason to worry unless you are trying to load a very large datacube. Almost certainly MUSE datacubes require a 64bit IDL version for the load to be successful. In case you only have access to a 32bit IDL, try to use the trim keyword to load a smaller part of the cube.


  1. 2)If you see errors like:


     % Error occurred at: VALID_NUM         

     % AIRTOVAC: Incorrect number of arguments.


It means you have not updated the Astrolib library since 2012. It is important to keep Astrolib updated frequently as bugs are fixed and the library is gradually being converted to handle 64bit variables whenever possible.


  1. 3)If you get an error when you try to load data from an instrument which is not in the list of supported instrument please report it to mfossati at mpe.mpg.de. We will try to solve the issue.


  1. 4)If you get warnings like:


            Warning:

            Name: button101

            Class: XmRowColumn

            XtGrabPointer failed.


            Warning: translation table syntax error: Missing '(' while parsing

            action sequence

            Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>KP_Next: 

            ActionGrab(SWDownPage)

            Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors


There is no reason to worry about these messages, they are triggered by a glitch in interaction between the widget tools (GUI) and the X11 environment. They do not indicate a problem with the KUBEVIZ code and they can be safely neglected.
