3 <br />Getting Started <br />Version 06.08.02, 2003-08-05, Color, Acrobat Distiller <br />This chapter provides an overview of the TSTooI graphical user interface. The TSTooI GUI has three <br />main functions: <br />1. Display and analyze time series data independent of full-scale modeling. In this capacity, a graph or <br />summary can be created and then TSTooI can be closed. <br />2. Format long lists of time series for use with applications like the State of Colorado's StateMod and <br />StateCU models or other software. In this capacity, information from the previous item can be <br />incorporated into a commands file and run the application to generate model files. <br />3. Read time series and produce time series products (e.g., JPEG image files), for use on web sites or to <br />facilitate review of database contents or model output. In this capacity TSTooI is used to generate <br />data products in a streamlined fashion. <br />The remainder of this section provides an overview of the graphical user interface, in the order of the <br />menus on the menu bar. <br />3.1 Starting TSTooI <br />TSTooI is a Java application and therefore is run using a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The JRE is <br />started using a batch file called TSTool.bat (see the Installation and Configuration appendix for file <br />locations). This batch file can be run from a DOS shell or by selecting it from Windows Explorer. <br />Normally the batch file is located in a directory that is in the path and therefore TSTooI can be run from <br />any directory. <br />If a commands file has been created, it can be processed in batch mode using the following command <br />line: <br />tstool -commands commands.TSTool <br />It is customary to name commands files with a .TSTooI file extension. <br />Getting Started - 1 <br />
