6.1 General Examples

This section includes examples related to general TST ool use, which may be appropriate for general
users.

6.1.1 General – One-time Time Series Display/Analysis

The following example session illustrates how to que ry time series data for display, analysis, and
viewing.

1. Start TSTool. If the HydroBase or other database input types are enabled, you may need to select a
database and provide a login.
2. To manipulate time series in any way, first select the time series of interest (see Section 3.3 - Main
Interface ). Pick appropriate input type, data type, and filter information. Press Get Time Series List
to list the available time series. After pressing Get Time Series List , a list of time series will be
shown in the upper-right corner of the interface.
3. Select one or more time series from the list and transfer to the Commands list as time series
identifiers. Time series identifiers are explained in Chapter 2 – Introduction .
4. Press the Run All Commands button to query the time series. They should now be listed in the
Results area.
