? <br />The user can input coordinates for a structure in order to override the read coordinates for a <br />structure or station. This is useful for adding new structures or if the original data are <br />missing or erroneous. <br />? <br />A big-picture plot has been implemented to allow display of the differences between two <br />delplt <br />scenario runs or to summarize one run. This takes advantage of the utility developed <br />by the State (addressed in task 2.11.2 of the original scope). <br />? <br />demandts watright tstool <br />File headers produced by , , and are updated by the StateMod GUI <br />when files are written. This allows further tracking of data set changes. File headers include <br />comment lines that begin with a # character. These lines are recognized as comments by <br />StateMod and the DMI utilities. If a file is read by a DMI, existing comments are passed to <br />the new output file so that the comments section contains a full history of the commands run <br />to generate and modify the file. Users can also manually add comments with an editor. An <br />example file header is: <br />\beware\crdss\header.txt <br />Subtask 8. Write a task memorandum summarizing Task 2.06 activities and results. <br />This subtask involves the preparation of this memorandum. <br />3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The following recommendations are made for consideration related to scenario management, DMIs, and <br />the StateMod GUI: <br />? <br />The value of an effective scenario manager should not be minimized. Though the product <br />developed for CRDSS satisfies the scope of work a more thorough scenario manager may be <br />appropriate. It is recommended that the scenario manager be ported to a PC and be reviewed <br />further at that point. <br /> <br />? <br />makenet <br />The utility represents the StateMod network in a more readable and editable form. <br />The functionality and data used by this utility should be strongly considered for inclusion in <br />the StateMod model and GUI in one form or another. The network plots have proven very <br />valuable in reviewing the data sets. <br /> <br />? <br />The file headers produced by the DMIs and the StateMod GUI are a very useful concept and <br />should be extended to other applications within the CRDSS. <br /> <br />? <br />The use of the DMIs and StateMod requires significant background information and may be <br />confusing to someone without this experience. The software has had numerous checks put in <br />to detect user error, however implementation of the checks can take over a software task. <br />Future development efforts should clearly define how well a program will check data.Users <br />need to have knowledge of the software documentation before attempting to use the <br />software. <br /> <br />4 <br />a320/taskmems/ 2-06-01.doc 01/03/97 <br />
