CE-QUAL-R1/CE-THERM-R1 Model system is contained in WES.EXE file, a self-extracting archive. To install the windows and plotting package for CE-QUAL-R1 and CE-THERM-R1, first download WES.EXE and copy to a user created subdirectory of CEQUALR1. You will need a total of 1.17 MB available space on your hard drive. The name of the subdirectory is the user's choice. Next, extract the files by typing:

DRIVE:\CEQUALR1>WES.EXE /x

Examples of files (listed below) the user must create for the plotting package are contained on this diskette. These files are to be plotted with output from a THERM.EXE run using the sample input data file, CQT.DAT, for Lost Creek Dam. Data format for all the files the user must create for the plotting package can be found in Part V of the user's manual.

The data files required by the plotting program are:

  1. GRAOTP.DAT (Model results reformated by executing GRAFORM.EXE. This must be done before plotting program is run.)
  2. VER.DAT (User created observed profile comparison file)
  3. FILE15.DAT (User created file containing all dates observed data are available.)

WINDOWS PACKAGE
To run the windows package type:

DRIVE:\CEQUALR1>WESWIN

An introductory screen will appear, and the user then must hit return to go to the next screen. This screen allows the user to run any executable file in the subdirectory (these files will be listed if execute is selected), plot the results for the most recent CE-QUAL-R1 or THERM run, request the help menu, or exit the windows environment. The user can toggle to their choice.

PLOTTING PACKAGE
The plotting package can be executed independent of the windows package discussed above. It will plot the predicted profile results of CE-QUAL-R1 or THERM against observed data (VER.DAT). The options to run the plotting program are:

  1. At the DOS prompt, type WESPLOT which will run the plotting package.
  2. At the DOS prompt, type RUN WESPLOT which will check for the internal files and then run the plotting package.

WESPLOT queries the user as to whether they wish to select maximum X and Y values for the plots or let it select the values. Once the user has selected the appropriate option, the display options for the plots are presented. One or 4 plots will be plotted to the screen or to paper depending on the option chosen by the user. After the user has made his/her display choice, a window containing the plotting dates that are found in FILE15.DAT will appear. The dates to be plotted may be selected by using the arrow keys or the mouse. The left mouse button will select and the right mouse button will exit the window. Four dates are chosen at a time. If the user chose to view one graph per screen, then these four dates would be plotted on the screen one right after the other until all 4 dates are plotted. If the user chose to view 4 graphs per screen, then all 4 dates would be plotted at once on the screen.
