When the Prediction File is opened, TideMaster Express will perform a cubic spline fit on the hourly tidal
prediction values contained in the file, to create a minute by minute tidal prediction data set.
Right-
clicking the display will reveal an Options menu as indicated. The first item, “Time Period”, allows the
user to select the range of Prediction data that will be available for display on this graph at any time. The
choice is either “Day” which will show the data for a full calendar day from midnight to midnight, or “24 Hour
Band”, which shows a moving graph of data for a full 24 hour period, centred on the current time (i.e. 12
hours before and 12 hours after the current time).
Note that additional parameters may be added to this graph using the Sensor Lists as for other display
modes. It is normal to restrict additional parameters on this graph to measured Tide and perhaps Surge
values.
