2 Introduction <br />Version 09.08.00, 2010 -09 -08 <br />TSTool can be thought of as a time series calculator. TSTool displays, manipulates, and analyzes time <br />series data, either interactively or in batch (automated) mode. The TSTool GUI (Graphical User <br />Interface) provides access to viewing and analysis features, command editors, and provides error <br />feedback. Time series can be read from and written to a variety of file and database formats. Although a <br />graphical user interface is provided, the heart of TSTool's analytical features is a command workflow <br />processor. Depending on the task being performed, the command language may be used extensively or <br />not at all. This flexibility makes TSTool useful for basic data viewing and advanced analysis. The <br />documentation is divided into the following main sections. <br />Chapter 2 — Introduction provides background information on time series concepts and how TSTool <br />processes time series. <br />Chapter 3 — Getting Started provides an overview of TSTool interface features. <br />Chapter 4 — Commands provides a summary of time series processing commands. <br />Chapter 5 — Tools provides information about analysis tools. <br />Chapter 6 — Examples of Use provides examples of how TSTool is commonly used. <br />Chapter 7 — Using the Map provides information about using the map interface to link time series with <br />spatial data. <br />Chapter 8 — Troubleshooting provides troubleshooting information, including a list of obsolete <br />commands. <br />Chapter 9 — Quality Control provides guidelines and examples for using TSTool to quality control data <br />processing. <br />The Command Reference provides a complete command reference, with commands listed in <br />alphabetical order. Because some commands are used in more than one situation, this allows the <br />commands to be fully documented once, and referred to as needed. <br />The Installation and Configuration appendix provides information about installing and configuring <br />TSTool. <br />The Release Notes appendix summarizes TSTool changes overtime <br />Several appendices provide information about supported input types (appendices are inserted as additional <br />input types are added). <br />The TSView Time Series Viewing Tools appendix provides a general reference for time series viewing <br />features. These features are used throughout TSTool and other software developed by RTi. <br />The GeoView Mapping Tools appendix provides a general reference for the GeoView map interface. <br />The mapping interface is being phased in and is used by other software developed by RTi. <br />21 Introduction - 1 <br />
