TSTool / Command / SetAveragePeriod

Overview

The SetAveragePeriod command sets the period that is used to compute historic averages used with the FillHistMonthAverage and FillHistYearAverage commands. If the averaging period is not specified, the available period is used. Use a SetAveragePeriod command if a subset of the data should be used to compute averages.

Commands that are concerned with this issue also typically provide a parameter. Setting a global default with this command can make it more difficult to understand processing.

Command Editor

The command is available in the following TSTool menu:

  • Commands / Fill Time Series Missing Data

The following dialog is used to edit the command and illustrates the syntax of the command.
