Using TAMET2
This program was
originally developed by B. H. Wall of the CSIRO Div. of Tropical Crops and
Pastures in 1977. While the original fortran
implementation would produce a (long winded) report, this more modern version
comes as a simple GUI that displays potential errors in place, allowing you to
directly edit the data and save your changes.
Using the program is simple – After
met files are opened (through the file menu), the data is scanned by pressing
the lower right button:
Once the file is
scanned, the “prev” and “next” buttons allow you to
move quickly between any warnings tamet has found.
You can make changes to the data and save it.
Parameters for
each of the tests can be changed in the ‘Parameters’ panel. The file needs to
be ‘scanned’ again before the results of these changes are seen.
The complete
list of tests is listed in the ‘Notes’ panel. A thorough description is
provided in Wall’s 1977 document, published as –
Wall, B.H.
