• 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. Choosen parameters will not be requested and are excluded from the view
• Change Fimex Filter Create a filter for FIMEX parameters. Choosen 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.

The Sidebar contains the data control interface. There are three different modi to access data stations, database and **Fields. At the top of the statusbar one can choose the datainput by the

• Diagramtype (Meteogram/Marinogram etc)
• 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 choosen position.

In this view, Tseries shows preprocessed point data from hdf or ASCII files. The Station list extracted from the datafile.

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 textfields or click into any given place in the diana map to get the diagram for the specific coordinates. All the modelnames,times and coordinate borders are selected from the database. When the database connection fails, the database-tab is disabled.

The database interpolates data on demand, for this, the server has to read all the fields nessecary 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.

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 “+” button and rename the folder. Now drag positions from the other folders there, positions in the record folder can be dragged in as well. Rename the bookmarks appropriatly. 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.

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 automtically 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 th map. when a position is choosen in Diana, Tseries will display the requested Diagram for that position.
