TSTool Documentation <br />Introduction - 4 <br />• Seq – an optional item used in cases where multip le time series traces may be available, with all <br />other identifier information being equal (e.g., for simulations where multiple versions of input are <br />used or for cases when a historical time series is cut into annual traces, collectively known as <br />ensembles ). Typically the sequence number is a four -digit year corresponding to the data input <br />year. <br /> <br />The last part of the TSID (~I nputType~InputName or ~DataStoreName ) indicate s input <br />information , which allows TSTool to locate and read the time series from a file , database , or the internet . <br />The input information was introduce d starting with TSTool version 5.04.00. The datastore convention <br />was introduced in TSTool version 9.08.00 and will be phased in as the software is enhanced. The <br />datastore design allows any name to be used to define a datastore , which allows more flexibility in <br />defining data connections. T he details about datastore configuration are defined in a simple properties <br />file . <br /> <br />The following table lists datastore type s that are supported or are unde r development . S ee the datastore <br />appendices for information about how time series identifiers are formatted for specific datastores . <br />TSTool f eatures for a specific datastore may only be available if at least one datastore for a specific type <br />is configure d and enabled. Datastores are available for databases and web services because the <br />“connection” information can be configured once and used throughout the TSTool session. User -assigned <br />datastore names are used in TSTool commands to ensure that command fi les are transportable and <br />datastore configurations can be updated without requiring commands to be updated . <br /> <br />Datastores Supported by TSTool <br /> <br />Datastore Type Category Description <br />ColoradoWaterHBGuest Web service State of Colorado’s historical data. <br />Colorad oWaterSMS Web service State of Colorado’s real -time data. <br />Generic Database Database A generic datastore to work with the <br />ReadTableFromDataStore(), <br />WriteTableToDataStore(), <br />ReadTimeSeriesFrom DataStore(), and <br />WriteTimeSeriesToDataStore() commands, <br />which can be configured to use an Open Database <br />Connectivity (ODBC) Dat a Source Name (DSN). <br />HydroBase Database State of Colorado database (see also legacy and default <br />treatment as an input type in following table). This is <br />not available by default due to the legacy practice of <br />allowing HydroBase to be selected at TSTool sta rtup. <br />RCC -ACIS Web service Regional Climate Center Applied Climate Information <br />System. <br />ReclamationHDB Database United States Bureau of Reclamation HDB database. <br />RiversideDB Database Riverside Technology, inc. database used for real -time <br />and historical t ime series data as part of RiverTrak ® <br />System software. <br />USGS NWIS Daily Web service United States Geological Survey (USGS) National <br />Water Information System (NWIS) daily values. <br />USGS NWIS <br />Groundwater <br />Web service USGS NWIS groundwater values. <br />USGS NWIS <br />In stantaneous <br />Web service USGS NWIS instantaneous (real -time) values. <br />16
