Hello folks, I have made a new download of the MERDAT software
available.

MERDAT is for use with images from the MER rovers on Mars.
Data display, Time on Mars/Earth, camera, filter, etc.
True and False Colour composites from the B and W raw images.
AVI movie sequence creation.
Plus more.

As would be expected, this is better than the last one.
GIF image saving has been perfected, as well as a big headache,
saving the X-eye images. I had problems

with joining the two into one. Pages that were in a testing state
have been finished or made more user

friendly. An email function has been included that will post
directly to the MerDat group on Yahoo

Groups.

There are 2 downloads avaiable,

MerDat.zip 14 MB contains directory structure and sample images.

and

MerDat2008.zip 2.2 MB MerDat executable only.

An error log has also been incorporated. This starts fresh every
time you start MerDat and overwrites

the previous log file.

A small utility has been made avaiable as a download.
AVI2GIF.exe. This separate executable should live in the MerDat
directory along with St

What next, I want to add image support for PNG, JPEG2000 and TIFF.
I want to create some form of interogating the PDS for data.
An investigator at JPL asked me about doing an Apple Mac version.
How bad do I feel about not being able to supply one to them. :-(
I am considering releasing the source code to other programmers that
may want to contribute their

skills towards the MerDat project.
If you have an interest in this, please email me.

Have you any suggestions to add to the list.

Thanking you, Kevin. VK3KUF.
