Take care to make sure all the IRIS data files for the same observations you would like to investigate with glue are all located in the same directory. Then, a popup dialog box would allow you to choose the desired observation directory containing the “raster” and “SJI” files of interest. Upon clicking “Open” on the lower right of the dialog box, an importer would pop up with the heading “Load IRIS Observation”, with the available data sets listed in the respective “raster” and “SJI” fields, as shown in the image that follows:
