The AddTin control file is a list of input files, which simplifies the specification of input data at the command line. Since a large number of files may be combined through this utility, it's convenient to have a file containing a list of filenames. Below is an example of the list file. In this example, there is a full day of 1Hour radar images. AddTin will load all of these file, and aggregate them according to the settings at the command line. If the input file is DSS, then the "inpath:" argument should be used to specify all record pathnames to be used.
Below is the previous example converted to using file masking. Note that this example requires specification of the sTime and eTime at the command line.
infile: C:\data\xmrg%MMddyyyyhh%z
The example below shows the aggregation of six hours of precipitation data from a DSS file.
Below is the previous example converted to using path masking. Note that this example requires specification of the sTime, eTime and duration at the command line.
