Enter the Pathname Parts into the A, B, C, and F fields. DSSVue will define the D-part of the pathname based on the dates/times you enter for the data.
You must select an appropriate time interval (E-part) from the list. The list includes both regular and irregular interval options for the time interval. The behavior of the data entry tabs will change depending on the E-part you select.
The complete pathname will automatically appear in the Pathname field. (Alternately, you can enter the pathname into the Pathname field and the parts will appear in the Pathname Parts fields.)
Enter the Start Date (e.g., 30 Mar 2002).
Enter the Start Time (e.g., 0800).
Enter the Units (e.g., cfs, feet, etc.).
Select a data type from the Type list. Your options are PER-AVER, PER-CUM, INST-VAL, and INST-CUM.
Using the Manual Entry tab—if you have selected a regular interval for the E-part of the pathname, the Date and Time fields will fill in automatically according to the start date and time you have entered. If you selected an irregular interval for the E-part of the pathname, you must enter the Date and Time values for each data value you wish to enter.
The first two cells of the table are provided automatically, but when you press Enter or Tab on your keyboard after entering a value in the last cell of the table, a new row will appear to allow you to continue entering data.
Or, using the Automatic Generation tab, enter the End Date and End Time and a Fill Value. This option is useful when you want to generate a dataset that contains a constant value.

Enter the X Units and the Y Units.
Choose the X Type and Y Type scale from the lists. Available options are: Linear, Log, Probability, and Percent.
The Y ordinates column of the table will split into individual columns according to the Number of Curves you have specified.
