Some features of VizSWAT

[Hong]

Hello, Srini,

The software looks great! However, I am wondering if it is possible to
control the playing speed of the animation? The movies is too fast to
see with its default speed. In addition, I am wondering if the data
extracted using the VizSwat can be shared by spreadsheets like Excel?
Or do you have any suggestion how to extract the specific parameter
from ArcSWAT simulation results, for example, flow in a subbasin,
which can be processed by spreadsheets? Readout program seems not to
work for ArcSWAT so far, right? Do you know if there is any pan to
update the Readout?

Thanks.

Dear Hong,

Yes to all your questions.

To change the speed of the animation, right click the variable you
are trying to animate under view tab, and select options. In this
screen you have general tab, there you can control the speed of the
animation. For example the default will be 5000 fps, you can change
to low or high depending on your need.

You can also save the data for a particular location or reach, for
this first you need to select the reach using data->probe->point
menu, you need to be in the data tab for this, then using left mouse
click on the reach you need to display the time series, and drag it
back to the data content tab.

Once you have the time series in the data content tab, you can right
click and save data as, option to save the data, you have two options
either binary or ascii.

The ascii will allow you to import into excel etc.

You can also do all the statistics of comparing with observed using
the analysis menu. You can also import your streamflow guage data.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions.
