SECTION 4 – Troubleshooting

 

4.1   General Trouble-shooting Tips

I added a conversion grid file but NADCON won’t let me add it to the Conversion Type list.

Conversion Grid files must consist of a matched pair of two files – one derived from latitude shifts (file extension .las) and the other from longitude shifts (file extension .los).  The files must have identical file prefixes, i.e. “flhpgn”, but must also have the two different extensions.  For example, in order to do a NAD 83(86) to HARN datum transformation in Florida, the files flhpgn.las and flhpgn.los must both be present.

The output format for my single point conversion does not match the input format.

Display format is chosen by selecting one of three radio buttons.  Make sure to choose the selection that best matches the output format desired.

I can’t find my grid files.

§  The default (and recommended) installation path is C:\Program Files\NOAA-NGS\NADCON.  All grids will be installed under a folder called “grids” in the NADCON directory.

§  If the program files have been moved to a new location, perform a file search using a wild card and one of the grid file extensions (i.e. “*.los”).  The search will return a list of all the files with that extension and will display the folder in which they are located.

When I try to run NADCON on my workstation, I get an error message:  “ Windows cannot find ‘javaw’.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.”

This message indicates one of two things:

§  Java has not been installed on the local workstation.  JRE version 1.4.0 or later must be installed for NADCON to work properly.  To install Java, refer to “Installing the Java Runtime Environment,” below.

-Or-

§  The java bin directory needs to be part of the workstation’s “Path” environment variable.  To do so, refer to “Ensure that the Java bin Directory is in the Path Environment Variable” in Section 5.
