Introduction
This chapter describes the function of commands in each menu, sub-menu and toolbar and is a good reference point when you become familiar with Source. In addition to presenting a Source view of each command, it provides a brief description of what that command does.
Menus
The menu bar for Source is shown in Figure 1. The remainder of this section describes the function of the commands in each menu.
...
Selects the type of analysis to be performed. Synonym for Select Analysis Type on the Simulation toolbar. See Running scenarios and Forecasting.
Opens a configuration window for the selected analysis type where you can set parameters to control the run (eg. date-range). Synonym for Configure on the Simulation toolbar. See Running scenarios and Forecasting.
Performs the selected analysis. Synonym for Begin Analysis (Run) on the Simulation toolbar.
...
Launches the calibration wizard for catchments. Synonym for clicking Configure on the Simulation toolbar (or choosing ) when Select Analysis Type is set to RR Calibration Analysis. See also Calibration Wizard for catchments.
...
Opens the optimisation results window. This window is populated by a run of the calibration wizard for catchments. See also Inspecting calibration results.
...
Opens the Find dialog. See Searching for nodes and links.
...
Opens the Units Preferences window (see Unit preferences).
Opens the Options dialog. The available options include:
...
Opens the Set Recording Defaults dialog. See also Recording Manager defaults.
...
Opens the Edit Tabular Formatting Settings dialog. Refer to the chapter on User preferences.

- Flow Calibration analysis, which derives the "best" set of parameter values so that output from the model matches an observed data set;
- Run w/Warm Up, which seeds the model with the available historical data and prepares for forecasting. See also Incorporating uncertainty into climate variability;
- Single analysis, which simulates the river performance for a single set of conditions (as opposed to an iterative analysis which considers several possible outcomes); or
- Stochastic analysis, which is used when dealing with stochastic climate data. Refer to Calibration Wizard for catchments.
