TSTool reads, displays , manipulates, analyzes , and <br />writes time series data, either interactively or in batch (automated) mode. The TSTool graphical u s er <br />i nterface (GUI ) 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 />do cumentation is divided into the following volumes: <br /> <br />Volume 1 – User Manual (for overall information about understanding and using TSTool) <br />Volume 2 – Command Reference (detailed documentation for every command) <br />Volume 3 – Datastore Reference (detailed docum entation for every datastore, including file formats, <br />databases, and web services) <br /> <br />Th is User Manual documentation is divided i nto the following chapters: <br /> <br />Chapter 2 – Introduction provides background information on time series concepts and how TSTool <br />proc esses time series. <br /> <br />Chapter 3 – Getting Started provides an overview of TSTool interface features. <br /> <br />Chapter 4 – Commands provides a summary of time series processing commands. <br /> <br />Chapter 5 – Tools provides information about analysis tools. <br /> <br />Chapter 6 – Examp les of Use provides examples of how TSTool is commonly used. <br /> <br />Chapter 7 – Using the Map provides information about using the map interface to link time series with <br />spatial data. <br /> <br />Chapter 8 – Troubleshooting provides troubleshooting information, including a list of obsolete <br />commands. <br /> <br />Chapter 9 – Quality Control provides guidelines and examples for using TSTool to quality control data <br />processing. <br /> <br />Chapter 10 – Spreadsheet Integration provides information about using TSTool with spreadsheet <br />software. <br /> <br />The Ins tallation and Configuration appendix provides information about installing and configuring <br />TSTool. <br /> <br />The Release Notes appendix summarizes TSTool changes over time. <br /> <br />The TSView Time Series Viewing Tools appendix provides a general reference for time series viewing <br />features. These features are used throughout TSTool. <br /> <br />13
