Verify GOES service and check GOES data

If it has been a while since accessing the GOES service or the station has frequently violated the timing window, the GOES service may not be active. To verify that your GOES service is still active, go to https://dcs2.noaa.gov then contact DADDS Technical Support/Customer Service using the online information.

LoggerNet does not interface directly with GOES. Users can get data from the GOES system through NOAA by logging into https://dcs4.noaa.gov/Account/Login or using the LRGS Client software also called OPEN DCS. The client OPEN DCS allows the data to be downloaded to a local computer. A Getting Started Guide for the client is available on the GOES website (https://dcs3.noaa.gov/LRGS/LRGS-Client-Getting-Started.pdf ).

For variable type issues or trouble getting good sensor values, refer to Data formats and transmission durations.
