- | =====MENUBAR===== | ||
- | |||
- | ====File==== | ||
- | |||
- | * **Print:** Print the current diagram to a printer or postscript-file | ||
- | * **Save Image:** Save the current diagram as an png-image. | ||
- | * **Change Filter** Create a local filter for positions </a> | ||
- | * **Change Observation Filter** Create a filter for observations parameters. Marked parameters will not be requested and are excluded from the view | ||
- | * **Change Fimex Filter** Create a filter for FIMEX parameters. Marked parameters will not be interpolated and are excluded from the view | ||
- | * **Change Observation start time** The observation view reads the last 300 hours of observations by default. Here one can choose a fixed start date for the observations. The start date will not be logged. At restart - the default applies. | ||
- | * **Quit** quits the program and writes configuration information to ~/ | ||
- | |||
- | ====Preferences==== | ||
- | * **Reset Preferences** reset the original preferences (including window size/ | ||
- | * **Save Preferences** save the current preferences to the conf-file. | ||
- | * **Save at exit** Saves the current preferences automatically at exit. | ||
- | * **Show positions (DIANA)** Show the position names in //Diana// when //Tseries// is connected to //Diana// | ||
- | * **Show active position** Show the name of the current position in // | ||
- | * **Show icons (DIANA)** Show icons for all positions in the //Diana// map | ||
- | * **Show Timemark** Show a grey line marking now | ||
- | * **Show Gridlines** Switch the Grid in the diagram on and off | ||
- | * **Lat/Lon in decimal** represent latitude and longitude as float instead of Degrees and Minutes | ||
- | * **Lock hours to model** Change length of the diagram when changing the model | ||
- | * **Font** Change the GUI font | ||
- | * **Language** Change language for the GUI | ||
- | | ||

- | =====BOTTOM TOOLBAR===== | ||
- | The Bottom Toolbar is dynamically connected to the sidebar. The Toolbar is altered when the | ||
- | sidebar VIEW is changed. | ||
- | |||
- | * **enable/ | ||
- | * **Position filter** apply a filter on the position list, only the positions that exist in the datasource and in the filterlist will be shown. //STATION VIEW// | ||
- | * **Show Position(DIANA)** shows a big red cross in the //Diana// Map over the current position | ||
- | * **Connect** Connect to //Diana// //ALL VIEWS// | ||
- | * **New directory** Add a new directory for locally stored positions //DATABASE AND FIMEX VIEW// | ||
- | * **Cache query** Send a query to the database to cache in the dataset (enabled if the request is too slow) //DATABASE VIEW// | ||
- | * **Record** record positions while clicking at the diana Map //FIELDS VIEW// | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | =====DATAVIEWS===== | ||
- | |||
- | The Sidebar contains the data control interface. There are three different VIEWS to | ||
- | access data **stations**, | ||
- | At the top of the statusbar the user can choose the datainput by the | ||
- | * Diagramtype (Meteogram/ | ||
- | * The Model (ECMWF, Arome etc) | ||
- | * The runtime of the model | ||
- | |||
- | The timeframe of the diagram can be selected by the start, and hours sliders at | ||
- | the bottom. The 0 hour refers to the runtime of the model. In case there are observations | ||
- | available, the time slider maybe drawn to a negative value. | ||
- | The label under the time sliders displays information on the closest observation site, above | ||
- | the sliders is information (coordinates) on the current position. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ====Stations==== | ||
- | In this view, //Tseries// shows preprocessed point data from hdf or ASCII files. | ||
- | The Station lists are extracted from the current datafile and static for that file. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ==== Database - Tseries 5.0 and higher ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Tseries is able to connect to a WDB database and get data interpolated on demand. | ||
- | The Database-Tab title is similar to the database-server which is used in the connection. | ||
- | |||
- | The user interface is coordinate based, you can choose coordinates | ||
- | by the lat/lon sliders, write them directly into the Lat/Lon text-fields | ||
- | or click into any given place in the diana map to get the diagram for | ||
- | the specific coordinates. | ||
- | All the modelnames, | ||
- | When the database connection fails, the database-tab is disabled. | ||
- | |||
- | === Cache === | ||
- | The database interpolates data on demand, for this, the server | ||
- | has to read all the fields necessary to generate your diagram. If this | ||
- | is to slow (default > 1.5s) the cache button becomes active. By pushing | ||
- | the cache button, a request is send to the server to take all needed fields | ||
- | into memory - speeding up the interpolation. The caching process | ||
- | is running in background and takes up to one minute. It is finished when the | ||
- | red blinking icon vanishes. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Bookmarks=== | ||
- | In the Database View, stations are represented as Bookmarks (name and coordinated) | ||
- | Additionally to common bookmarks, the user can define a set of local bookmarks and group them | ||
- | into directories. First, create a new folder by the " | ||
- | Now drag positions from the other folders there, positions in the record folder can be dragged in as well. | ||
- | Rename the bookmarks appropriately. There are some distributed folders with given positions. | ||
- | These can be edited, but will be restored after restart. Private created folders | ||
- | will be stored locally and saved at exit | ||
- | All positions can be dragged into trash for removal. Empty private folders are | ||
- | automatically removed after restart. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ====Fimex | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | =====DIANA CONNECTION===== | ||
- | |||
- | T-series can be connected to the //Diana// meteorological workstation. | ||
- | The connection is controlled by an external application (coserver) which is socket based. | ||
- | Coserver starts automatically when requested. The user can connect T-series and DIANA by | ||
- | activate the //connect// button in both applications. All positions from //Tseries// are send to | ||
- | //Diana// and will be displayed in the map. when a position is choosen in //Diana//, //Tseries// will display | ||
- | the requested Diagram for that position. | ||
