Instructions,
Problems and Fixes:
6-3-2009 – Cheetah 3 Analyzer
Program Version 3.1.7 is posted
and corrects data collection process error. User should download the latest Cheetah Analyzer exe
(Version 3.1.7) using the link above and replace Version 3.1.6. Another option is to uninstall and
reinstall the programs but that is not necessary or recommended. This error affected the Active Fire
Graph and Report. It only
occurred to an Analysis Set where more than one GACC was contained in the
Analysis Set. If users have done
Active Fire Graphs or Reports from an Analysis Set that has more than one
GACC, these Reports and Graphs should be rerun if there is intent to use the
results in the future. 10-23-2008 – Cheetah 3
Analyzer Program Version 3.1.6 is posted
and corrects a divide-by-zero problem that occurred in some reports and graph
creation with data sets that had very low fire occurrence. 1-7-2007 – Notification
of Lat/Long Issue with USFS Files The latitude and
longitude values for Forest Service fires were not read correctly on the
initial import. This problem has
been corrected in the 1-7-2007 version of the Cheetah3Master.mdb that is now
posted. All analysis sets
currently created are fine as latitude and longitude are not used in any of
the processes in Cheetah Analyzer. 11-6-2006 – Powerpoint
presentation The Powerpoint
presentation made at the 2007 Fall Predictive Services Meeting in Santa Fe,
NM., has been posted for reference.
The handout used was the Cheetah3_Summary.pdf document. An updated version of this has also
been posted correcting a spelling error. 11-6-2007 –
Cheetah3Master.mdb For CAL-FIRE fires, the
latitude and longitude values were accidentally reversed. This has been corrected in the
current Cheetah3Master.mdb.
There is no affect on existing Analysis Sets as latitude and longitude
are not part of the current Analysis Set data structure. The updated file has been posted. 8-17-2006 – California
State Fires We have been alerted
that an update to the CALFIRE fire occurrence data will be provided by the
state around August 24. Once
received, the additional data will be integrated into the Cheetah3Master.mdb
based on a schedule worked out with NICC. 8-17-2007 –
Cheetah3LU.mdb The State of Alaska has
been added as an Agency. In
Alaska, all fires have been assigned to a Preparedness Area, regardless of
the organizational unit where the fire started. To do analysis in Alaska, select Alaska as the GACC and
Alaska as the Agency. In the
building of a PSA, the “units” that will appear are the Preparedness
Areas. If Cheetah 3 has not been
installed, the latest Cheetah3LU.mdb
is contained in the C2_Setup.exe file. If Cheetah 3 has been installed, you will need to replace
the current version of Cheetah3LU.mdb file. To obtain a copy of Cheetah3LU.mdb file, download the file
using the link above. Copy the
file to the folder where Cheetah 3 is installed and replace the existing
Cheetah3LU.mdb file. This is the
folder that has all of the program executable (*.exe) files. 7-20-2007 - Cheetah 3
Analyzer, Version 3.1.2 In the Cheetah 3 Analyzer,
the pulldown list for the selection of fire cause for the Fire Acres Report
was disabled. This problem has
been fixed. If Cheetah 3 has not
been installed, the latest C2_Setup.exe file using the link above. If Cheetah 3 has been installed, you
will need to replace the current version of Cheetah 3 Analyzer program
executable. To obtain a copy of
Cheetah 3 Analyzer, Version 3.1.2 (C3Analyzer.exe) file, download the file
using the link above. Copy the
file to the folder where Cheetah 3 is installed and replace the existing
C3Analyzer.exe file. This is the
folder that has all of the program executable (*.exe) files. 7-19-2007 – Posted
updated Users’ Guide Reorganized the format
of the web site to aid use.
Early versions of the Users’ Guide had incorrect contact information
for Tom Wordell. 7-18-2007 – Program
Release On this date, Versions
3.1.1 of Cheetah 3 Analyzer and Cheetah 3 Managers are available. Also posted is the Users’ Guide in
pdf format. The user should download
the Cheetah 3 Installation file (C3_Setup.exe) and the
Cheetah3Master.mdb.
Following installation, the user should replace the blank
Cheetah3Master.mdb file install with the Cheetah3Master.mdb that contains the
operational fires database.
