The WRITE TIMESTAMP module creates an ASCII file and writes into it the set of timestamp labels input as one string.

The MCNC Environmental Programs Group has created this module as part of a suite of AVS demo modules, networks, and sample data sets to demonstrate the functionality of its visualization prototype for an Environmental Decision Support System (EDSS). You can download these modules individually from the IAC using anonymous ftp to the appropriate directories /avs_modules at avs.ncsc.org.

This system provides a unified method of analysis and visualization for data output from different environmental air quality models. Remotely, standard output files from the following models can be read into AVS: ROM (Regional Oxidant Model) RADM (Regional Acid Deposition Model), low res and high res RADM (Regional Acid Depostion Model) Emissions, low res UAM (Urban Airshed Model, regulatory version) UAM (Urban Airshed Model, AREAL research version) UAM Wind (Urban Airshed Model, regulatory version) MCNC ALPHA-Prototype netCDF files Alternatively, xdr portable binary AVS fields can be created from these data types and accessed directly from the local workstation. You can download these modules individually from the IAC using anonymous ftp to the appropriate directories /avs_modules at avs.ncsc.org. If you would like to download the entire suite of modules, networks, and sample datasets at the same time, the IAC recommends that you use anonymous ftp to grab the following file from avs.ncsc.org - /sample_data/avs_data/MCNC_Env_Pgms/MCNC_Env_Pgms.tar.Z This contains all source code to all local and remote modules, as well as all of the sample datasets, networks, documentation, installation, and usage notes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>  </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr height="100%"> <td class="sideLink" width="25%" align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><a href="../../../../../general/index.shtml" target="_top">General Information</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../../repository/index.shtml" target="_top">Repositories</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../new/index.shtml" target="_top">  New Releases</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../download/index.shtml" target="_top">  Download</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../submit/index.shtml" target="_top">  Submit</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../pfiles/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Files</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../avs5/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS5</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../input.shtml" target="_top">    Data Input</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../filters.shtml" target="_top">    Filters</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../mappers.shtml" target="_top">    Mappers</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../output.shtml" target="_top">    Data Output</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../../misc.shtml" target="_top">    Miscellaneous</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../express/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS/Express</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../../pog/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Guidelines</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../../usergroup/index.shtml" target="_top">User Group</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../../training/index.shtml" target="_top">Training Materials</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="c6c6e0"> <tr> <td><img src="../../../../../img/foot1.gif" alt="IAC" width="155" height="25"></td> <td width="100%"> Last Updated:  26th November 2002 </td> </tr> </table>
