Hi Markus,

It turned out that I need to escape the ";" character on OS X/bash:
java -jar JHelioviewer2.jar -jhv [2009/03/05\;00:00:00\;SOHO\;MDI\;\MDI\;magnetogram\;80]
With that, it works fine - thanks :-)

Next question: Does the following Web Start work for you?
http://achilles.nascom.nasa.gov/~dmueller/jhv/JHV2_test.jnlp
If so, does it show one or two layers? I wrote
<argument>-jhv</argument>
<argument>[2009/03/05;00:00:00;SOHO;MDI;MDI;magnetogram;100],[2009/03/05;00:00:00;SOHO;EIT;EIT;195;50]</argument>
in the jnlp file, but for me, it only shows the MDI layer, while both MDI + EIT are visible when launching the jar file from the command line with the same command (I also tried escaping the ";" in the jnlp file).

Last question: Can you load LASCO images from the command line? If so, how? Calls like
java -jar JHelioviewer2.jar -jhv [2009/03/05;00:00:00;SOHO;LASCO;C3;white-light;100]
don't seem to retrieve LASCO images, but only bring up the default EIT 171.

However, this is really *not urgent* - getting the AIA single channel+color table image to work is really on top of the list.

Thanks a lot!

Daniel
