Line State and Load Status
In AWIPS-2 NSHARP, stations and timelines have a "status" to describe if they have been loaded or not. Stations and timelines also have a "state" to describe what is currently displayed and what has been filtered on or off.
State
Current (green) - currently selected timeline or station in the display
Active (yellow) - timeline or station is available for display
InActive (white) - timeline or station has been filtered out of the display
Status " * "
There are times when loading multiple soundings where one particular timeline or station is not available for display (e.g. 18z special soundings launched for some but not all soundings). The color of the * to the left of the timeline or station name reflects whether it is loaded or not.
* Loaded (red) - timeline or station is loaded and is available for display
* Unloaded (purple)- timeline or station is not loaded and is unavailable for display
