Setup detailed output file window

This window is reached from the Output setup window. It is the first step in setting up a detailed output file. For a guide on how to set up output, see the Output strategies topic.

Output file name. Enter your output file name here. You can use the "Browse" button to help you enter a path. If you don't use a path your file may be hard to find. Detailed output files end up with a ".gz.tar" extension. It is very important that your output file name not have the same name as your parameter file.

Save everything. This saves all possible data. The resulting detailed output file will probably be quite large. This option is handy when you are still tweaking your parameter file. You can save everything, run for a few timesteps, and review the data. This option is also a good one when you wish to have the complete state of the model at every timestep, perhaps to use as input to new runs.

Clear everything. Erases all detailed output settings.

Live Trees. Sets options for saving living trees by opening the Setup tree save options window. The text just below this button will tell you if there are currently any tree save settings. You are not required to save tree data.

Grid data layers. Sets options for saving grids by opening the Setup grid save options window. The text just below this button will tell you if there are currently any grid save settings. You are not required to save grid data.

Dead Trees. Sets options for saving each timestep's dead trees by opening the Setup tree save options window. The text just below this button will tell you if there are currently any tree save settings. Click for more on saving live vs. dead trees. You are not required to save tree data.

Set up subplots.... Sets up subplots for tree data by opening the Edit subplots window. Subplots are regions within the plot as a whole that will have data saved separately. You can find more information in the detailed output file topic. You are not required to create subplots.
