FOUSDISP builds and runs a PTDISP command to display FOUS 14 data from FOUS-schema point files.
You can use PTDISP's SELECT keyword to limit the plot to a specified list or range of values, but you cannot specify a different parameter, time, day or unit than those defined by FOUSDISP's parameters or keywords.
The table below lists the valid parameters, their default units, and a description of the parameter. Default units enclosed in parenthesis cannot be changed.
