Spatial Times Series Data

TSD functionality is only available if the TSD option is enabled on your licence.

A Spatial Time Series Data object (Spatial Time Series Database icon) is used for storing spatial time varying data (TVD) that comes from external data sources.

Viewing spatial rain on the GeoPlan

Spatial rain can be viewed on the GeoPlan Window using a theme based on rainfall intensity. See Displaying Spatial Rainfall on the GeoPlan for more information.

Zoom to a Spatial TSD on the network

To zoom to a Spatial TSD on a network that is currently open on the GeoPlan:

  1. Ensure that the relevant network is opened on the GeoPlan.
  2. Drag a Spatial TSD object from the Explorer window and drop it on the network in the GeoPlan.
