|
| Pre-processing software needed?
|
Yes
|
| Describe pre-processing software
|
OTIS relies on flat ASCII (text) files for input and output. At present, a graphical user interface for comprehensive management of OTIS input and output is not available. OTIS input files have traditionally been developed on the user's local computer system using a text-based editor. As an alternative, users may fill out the web-based forms available via the Generate Input section of http://water.usgs.gov/software/OTIS/. After providing the required information, users can download the resultant input files and run OTIS in the usual manner.
|
| Post-processing software needed?
|
Yes
|
| Describe post-processing software
|
All output is written to flat ASCII files. OTIS output files are usually read into a spreadsheet or graphics program for plotting and analysis.
|
| Visualization software needed?
|
No
