The TSTool GUI has <br />three main functions: <br /> <br />1. Browse and view time series data . In this capacity, a graph or summary can be crea ted and then <br />TSTool can be closed. <br />2. Automate time series processing . For example, format lists of time series for use with <br />simulation models or other software. In this capacity, time series that are read and displayed can <br />be incorporated into a command fi le, which can be run to generate time series files. <br />3. Process time series products . For example, create graphs for use on web sites or to facilitate <br />revi ew data or modeling results . In this capacity TSTool is used to generate data products in a <br />streamlined fashion. <br />The remainder of this chapter provides an overview of the graphical user interface, in the general order of <br />the main features and menus on the menu bar (left to right, top to bottom). The features necessary to <br />accomplish the above tasks are desc ribed at an introductory level. See other chapters for more detailed <br />information . See also the training materials that are available under the doc \Training folder of the <br />software installation. <br /> <br />3.1 Starting TSTool <br /> <br />W hen using the State of Colorado’s CDSS configuration for TSTool , the software can be started on <br />Windows using Start…All Programs…CDSS…TSTool -Version (or <br />Start…Programs…CDSS…TSTool -Version ). The menus vary slightly depending on the operating <br />system. <br /> <br />TSTool also has been implemented for Linux and Mac OS X, in which the tstool script can be run to <br />start the software. <br /> <br />To process a command file in batch mode without showing the user interface , use a command line similar <br />to the following : <br /> <br />tstool –commands commands.TSTool <br /> <br />It is customary to name command files with a .TSTool file extension. It may be necessary to specify a full <br />(absolute) path to the command file when running in batch mode in order for TSTool to fully understand <br />the working directory. See the Batch Mode Execution section at the e nd of this chapter for more <br />information on running in batch mode. <br /> <br />27
