Printer Setup
The current default printer is automatically used by EFDC_Explorer. Toolbar Summary shows an example printer setup form that appears when the highlighted toolbar button is clicked. If no printers are available during the startup of EFDC_Explorer, it will display a warning but will continue. Besides being used for printing, the settings from this form also impact certain exported graphics. The primary setting used is the portrait versus landscape option to set page orientation.

EE uses the CF (Climate and Forecast) conventions which Unidata describes as "designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with the NetCDF API. The CF conventions are increasingly gaining acceptance and have been adopted by a number of projects and groups as a primary standard. The conventions define metadata that provide a definitive description of what the data in each variable represents, and the spatial and temporal properties of the data. This enables users of data from different sources to decide which quantities are comparable, and facilitates building applications with powerful extraction, re-gridding, and display capabilities." http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/
Toolbar Summary shows the dropdown menu for exporting data from ViewPlan. When the user selects the Export NetCDF option then form shown in Toolbar Summary is displayed.
...
In the File Creation frame the user may select from exporting all the NetCDF data in one file, or separate it into a series of files, one for each day.

The View Calibration Data toolbar function toggles on and off the display of the following:
Show Data Stations: Label the current plot with Station IDs. This information will be displayed on most views even if there is no matching parameter in the calibration data.
Show Data Values: Labels the current plot with calibration data if there is a parameter match to the data and the data is within the tolerance time of the current view.
Show Data Residuals: Labels the current plot with residual (Model – Data) if there is a parameter match to the data and the data is within the tolerance time of the current view.
Use Layer Options/Show All Layers: This option enforces the calibration data layer options to the current view. If not checked the data and residuals displayed will be based on depth averages.
Set Model/Data Time Tolerance: Allows the user to set the number of minutes allowed between the model snapshot time and the data time. If the absolute time differences are less than or equal then EFDC_Explorer will consider the two time the same and display the appropriate data or residuals.
Show Previous Data: This function jumps the current view backwards in time to the previous model-data match for the current parameter. If a match is not found, or the current model time is less than the first data record, a message will be displayed in the status bar indicating that there was no match. Ctrl-> keystroke performs the same function.
Show Next Data: This function jumps the current view up to the next model-data match for the current parameter. If a match is not found, or the current model time is greater than the last data record, a message will be displayed in the status bar indicating that there was no match. Ctrl-> keystroke performs the same function.
