Log
The Log feature from the CRHM pull down menu displays the log screen consisting of two scrolling windows. The top window displays information about the model build. Entries consist of ERRORS and WARNINGS. Any errors are fatal and the model run will terminate. Before proceeding any further the user will have to rectify the problems. An example of an ERROR is when a required observation is missing from the observation file(s). An example of a warning is when the model informs the user that the model is using ppt (the daily precipitation divided by the number of intervals/day) and not the actual interval precipitation p .
The lower window is used to display information from the module. Its use is determined by the module designer. Possible applications might be to inform the user if a variable has a value outside its normal range or the model is proceeding without meeting desired criteria. Another use is for debug output during module development.
