Note that each variable name must be unique. If two or more variables share a name, variables added since opening the dialog will not be saved.

  • Move Down Row-down.svg – Move the selected row down.


Observation Files Dialog

The Observation Files dialog

The Observation Files dialog is accessed by clicking Observations... in the Options section of many of the package dialogs. It is used to define an array of one or more observation files. It contains the following sections and buttons:
