The Oceanography VISITview session is scheduled for Monday November 5th.

Interactive VISITview sessions will last 30 to 40 minutes long and be be recorded for future reference.

You need to download the oceanography VISITview files onto your computer to participate interactively in this lesson. You will be downloading a self-extracting (.exe) file which are easiest to manage if you put them in a separate folder. 
Start by creating a separate folder at a convenient location on your computer. After you download the file which will be called Ocean_VV.exe into that folder, you can extract the individual slides simply by by clicking on the executable file.

Once you've created a folder, click here to download the oceanography VISITview lesson.
Note: it is 46M and may take a few minutes to download

After the Ocean_VV.exe is in your folder, click on it. This will open a new window;  replace any files that are in the folder if prompted.

FOR PC's: When the self-extracting zip file has expanded, you will have a folder full of files, including visit.bat and visitlocal.bat.
Prior to the teletraining you can use visitlocal.bat to view the slides and familiarize yourself with the training topic.

FOR MAC's: You must be running os/x for this to work on a mac.
The .exe file is actually mostly a .zip file.  Unravel the zip file by entering 'unzip Ocean_VV.exe' at a unix prompt in a terminal window after downloading the file to a separate folder, from either the clickable link or the ftp site.
When it's time to start, you can look at the lesson beforehand by typing 'sh visitlocal.sh' at a unix prompt in a terminal window.

The teletraining starts at 5:15 CST on 18 October. You should "launch" your visitview lesson at that time by double-clicking the visit.bat icon.  Note that internet access is required during the session for the instructor to advance frames or to show annotations, etc.   

Lines open for the teletraining starting at 5:15 CST on Monday November 5th. Please call 1-800-462-1257 to participate.
The lecture should start around 5:20 CST.
