-=====Using SODA=====
+=====Notes to Use SODA=====
 To easily use SODA while in the T28_Data directory while on the aircraft server, there are a couple of programs you'll have to download into your home directory (/home/yourname).

-To get these packages,
+=====Downloading Packages=====
   - Go to this link to download CoPAS,
     - https://github.com/daviddelene/CoPAS
-    - CoPAS should make it easier to download ADPAA and SODA
+    - CoPAS contains ADPAA and SODA (it's how I (James) got ADPAA)
+      - It contains instructions in the readme on how to install everything
+      - I'm not sure how to download ADPAA without using CoPAS to do it
+  - Link to ADPAA
+     - https://sourceforge.net/projects/adpaa/
+  - Link to SODA
+     - https://github.com/abansemer/soda2/blob/master/MANUAL.pdf
+     - You CAN download SODA independently. However, the script to easily run the SODA gui is a part of ADPAA
+       - git clone https://github.com/abansemer/soda2
+=====Browsing Data with SODA=====
+With SODA and ADPAA installed,
+   - Navigate to the directory with a .dat file
+     - e.g. /Radar_Data/T28_Data/data/yr2000/f757/SODA_Outputs/filename.dat
+   - type,
+     - gnu_soda2
+   - click on "Menu" then "Browse Data..."
+   - click on File and select a .dat file
+   - To exit SODA and regain use of command line,
+     - Once you've exited the SODA gui, type into the command line "exit" and hit enter
+       - You won't see any text appear, but if it worked, after a few seconds SODA will finish exiting and you can use the command line normally again.
+=====Using SODA to Process Data=====
+Described in this manual https://github.com/abansemer/soda2/blob/master/MANUAL.pdf
+   - To exit SODA and regain use of command line,
+     - Once you've exited the SODA gui, type into the command line "exit" and hit enter
+       - You won't see any text appear, but if it worked, after a few seconds SODA will finish exiting and you can use the command line normally again.
