<br />'"' <br /> <br />. Diversions. Daily diversions at each diversion structure used in the calculations <br />will be generated for the PC application. <br /> <br />The output from Point Flow calculations could be stored in the database or recreated every <br />time a user requests it. If stored in the database, results will become obsolete when new <br />data becomes available or existing data is modified. Recalculating values for every request <br />may be too time consuming. CADSWES will determine the best solution to this issue as <br />the detailed design progresses. <br /> <br />8. CADSWES will provide the interface and communications software to obtain <br />Point Flow Analysis results using the SPWRMS PC application. The functionality pro- <br />vided by the PC application is very limited. Users will be able to select a menu item that <br />fetches the Point Flow output files from the server, which can be displayed through soft- <br />ware provided by NCWCD. The following additions will enable the PC application to <br />retrieve Point Flow results: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />New Menu Item: Query / Point Flow. <br /> <br />New Communications Module. Addition of new routine to the communications <br />will allow the files to be sent from the server to the PC. <br /> <br />New Routine to Write Files to Disk. Data will be written to disk as it is received <br />from the server. The resulting files will be read directly by the charting and query- <br />ing software provided by NCWCD. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />06'2,:' <br /> <br />Data for the entire water year will not be sent to the PC every time that a request for data is <br />made. Instead, the data sent to the PC will be constrained to the time interval indicated in <br />the Preferences Dialog. In addition, only data for the selected districts will be sent to the <br />PC. This approach will be taken due to concern about the time it may take to transmit the <br />Point Flow results from the server to the PC for the entire water year. Near the end of the <br />water year, when there would be nearly 365 days of data being transmitted, the process <br />would be the slowest. At such a time, assuming about 350 points of interest used in the <br />calculations, there would be 127,750 rows in each of the three result files. If each row is <br />composed of 50 characters, each file could take 55 minutes to transmit with a 19,200 bits <br />per second (bps) transmission rate. Constraining the amount of data sent with each request <br />will reduce transmission times. <br /> <br />C. CADSWES will provide basic functionality to display Point Flow Analysis results <br />with the UNIX application. The display of Point Flow results on the UNIX application <br />will not be as elaborate as that provided by NCWCD software, due to the different plotting <br />package used by the UNIX application. The following views of results will be provided: <br /> <br />. Calculated instream flow at a point of interest vs. time. <br /> <br />. Calculated gain in a subreach (between points of interest) vs. time. <br /> <br />. Calculated gain and flow vs. river mile (from bottom of single selected reach). <br />Note that the scrolling view of gain and flow vs. river mile of the NCWCD software, <br />which provides the structure name, will not be available on the UNIX display. A simple <br />graph of gain and flow vs. river mile will be provided. without the scrolling view. <br /> <br />Task 2. <br /> <br />Water Information Sheet / Data File Enhancement <br />Completion Date: 3/29/96 <br /> <br />This enhancement will allow text files to be read as a source of data for the Water Informa- <br />
