2 Introduction Version 06.08.02, 2004-08-05, Color, Acrobat Distiller TSTooI displays and analyzes time series data, either interactively or in batch mode. The TSTooI GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows time series to be easily viewed, manipulated, and analyzed. Time series can be read from and written to a variety of input types. TSTooI can be thought of as a time series calculator. Although a graphical user interface is provided, the heart of TSTooI's analytical features is an interpreter that processes a command language. Depending on your needs, you may avoid the command language completely or use it extensively. This flexibility makes TSTooI useful for basic data viewing and advanced analysis. The documentation is divided into the following main sections. Chapter 2 -Introduction provides background information on time series concepts and how TSTooI processes time series. Chapter 3 -Getting Started provides an overview of TSTooI interface features. Chapter 4 -Commands provides a summary of time series processing commands. Chapter 5 -Tools provides information about analysis tools. Chapter 6 -Examples of Use provides examples of how TSTooI is commonly used. Chapter 7 -Troubleshooting provides troubleshooting information, including a list of obsolete commands. The Commands Reference provides a complete commands reference, with commands listed in alphabetical order. Because some commands are used in more than one situation, this allows the commands to be fully documented once, and referred to as needed. The Installation and Configuration appendix provides information about installing and configuring TSTooI. Several appendices provide information about supported input types (appendices are inserted as additional input types are added). The TSView Time Series Viewing Tools appendix provides a general reference for time series viewing features. These features are used throughout TSTooI and other software developed by RTi. The GeoView Mapping Tools appendix provides a general reference for the GeoView map interface. The mapping interface is being phased in and is used by other software developed by RTi. Introduction - 1
