RSAM Section User's Guide

The main RSAM UI looks something like this (depending on your Valve installation):

The interface is extremely simple. Simply select a station (control-click/shift-click for multiple stations, one plot is produced for each station) and a time interval and press submit. Valve is not calculating RSAM on-the-fly, it is being imported from another process, most likely an earthworm process. For more information about RSAM see:
