mcmegu [ parameter=value ... ] [ inputfile ... ]
Parameters are: list_out, sea_level.
mcmegu converts raw sensor counts into engineering values for platforms defined in the file $REFDATA/dcs/dcs_data. Each DCS platform (PTT) may transmit one or more times during a pass. Each record for the platform is converted to engineering values; the engineering values are added to the input dataset. Any platform not in the file $REFDATA/dcs/dcs_data will be skipped.
The engineering values can be listed to the output. They can also be overlayed on an image using weather and then XVU.
One or more TeraScan datasets are required as inputs. The dataset(s) should have latitude, longitude and elevation variables. There are no output TeraScan datasets.
Should the output variables' values be listed? Answer yes, and all error free DCS records for any platform in the $REFDATA/dcs/dcs_data file will be listed. If the response is no a listing will not be produced.
Valid responses are [yes or no]. The default is [no].
Should pressure be converted from station pressure to sea level pressure? If the answer is yes, all stations with elevations less than or equal to 300 m will be converted to an equivalent sea level pressure. If the response is no the pressure will not be converted.
Valid responses are [yes or no]. The default is [no].

Even if a platform's data cannot be converted to engineering units, the raw data can still be examined using dcsmix and dcslist.
