C. System Software (HYDROMET)

.

The HYDRDMET software package is comprised of a series of programs that

provide for transmission receive, raw data processing, data conversions, data

archiving, data retrieval in various reports and graphics formats, and system .

diagnostics. The following is a description of the basic programs utilized by

the user:

.

1. DAYFILES maintains and provides access to the real-time data being
collected for a given station. This program performs raw data
processing, data conversions, shift applications, and archiving of .
the real-time data. Figure 5 is an example of a DAYFILES report.

2. ARCHIVES computes and stores mean daily values for a given data type ..
for a given station. Figure 6 is an example of an ARCHIVES report.

3. ANNUAL provides a yearly summary of mean daily values for a given .
data type for a given station. It also summarizes by month the
total, mean, minimum, maximum, and any special conversions, i.e. mean
daily discharge to acre-feet. The format matches that established by.,
the U. S. Geological Survey-Water Resources Division and accepted by
the Colorado Di vi s ion of Water Resources for pub 1 icat ion purposes.
Figure 7 is an example of an ANNUAL report. ~

4. PLOT provides for the development of graphical displays of data
values plotted against time. In the case of discharge data, this .
produces a hydrograph. Figure 8 is an example of a plot of DAYFILES
