::3.) Enter '0' to update the variable at every step. ExtData will do a linear interpolation using the available times on the file. This option allows the user more sophisticated option for breaking the data up into different files. See the discussion further down about the file frequency.

::4.) Enter Phr:mn where hr is a two digit hour and mn is a two digit minute or enter Pyear-mm-ddThr:mn where now year, mm, and dd are a year, month and day, this is an interval at which to update the variable from the start time of the clock used in the program.

:Offset - This is a factor the variable will be shifted by, if you enter "none", no shifting will be performed, If you do not want to shift do not put 0.0 as you will be wasting time since it will multiply by 0.0 instead of skipping the scaling

:Offset - This is a factor the variable will be shifted by, if you enter "none", no shifting will be performed, [[If you do not want to shift do not put 0.0 as you will be wasting time since it will multiply by 0.0 instead of skipping the scaling]].

:Scale - This is a factor the variable will be scaled by, if you enter "none", no scaling will be performed, If you do not want to scale do not put 1.0 as you will be wasting time since it will multiply by 1.0 instead of skipping the scaling.

:Variable - This is the name of the variable ON THE FILE. It need not be the same as the export name. You can also set this to /dev/null to set the

:File Template - this is a grads style template, if there are no tokens in the template name ExtData will assume that all the data is on one file. Note that if the data on file is at a different resolution that the application grid, the underlying I/O library ExtData uses will regrid the data to the application grid.
