The Output windows can display a collection of different windows depending on the situation. Per default the windows are shown as tabs. The individual windows are described below.
All type of output windows may be shown or hidden by unselecting the output window in the ‘View’ drop-down menu in the MIKE Zero menu bar. If new information is shown in a hidden window the window will automatically be shown.
Validation
Simulation
Time series
Cross section
Structure
Longitudinal profile
The Validation window shows validation status messages and error messages. Each time a model object is edited e.g. changing data in the Tabular view or the Property view the data is validated and any errors are shown in the Validation window.
Some extended validation checks are not performed on the fly, but can manually be run by selecting ‘Extended validation’ from the ‘Run’ drop-down menu in the MIKE Zero menu bar. Running the Extended validation will perform both the standard and extended validation checks.
Note that error messages from the extended validation checks are only updated when a new extended validation is performed. Hence extended validation messages may still appear even if the error has been corrected.
Running a simulation will automatically perform an extended validation.
The Simulation window shows progress and output from the computational engine.
The Time series window is automatically shown when plotting either input or output times series.
To add an input time series to the window, click on the 
button next to the time series in Tabular view and select ‘Add to new plot’ or ‘Add to current plot’. An input time series may also be added to the window by clicking on the input time series grid cell in the Property view. A 
button will appear in the right hand side of the cell and clicking on that button gives the options of ‘Add to new plot’ or ‘Add to current plot’.
To add an output time series to the window, navigate to the relevant model parameter group in Result tree view, right click on the relevant model object in the Property view and select the time series to be added to a new/current plot in the Time Series window. See section 2.6 Viewing Results (p. 41) for more details.
The Time Series window can contain one or more plots which are shown as tabs. A plot can be renamed by right-clicking on the tab and selecting ‘Rename’.
A plot can contain one or more time series. The layout of a plot has 3 controls. The first control shown on the left contains a list of each time series in the plot grouped by file name and time series type. Time series can be removed from the plot by right-clicking and choosing ‘Remove’ on either an individual time series or a group of time series.
The middle control shows the data of the time series. Depending on the focus in the left control either one or a group of time series are shown in the middle control. Data can be copied to the clipboard by selecting one or more cells and either right-clicking and choosing ‘Copy’ or using ‘Ctrl+C’.
The right control shows all time series added to the plot. Right-clicking on the plot provides a sub-menu for zooming, printing and user settings such as the use of secondary axis, position of legends, etc.
The Symbology dialogue from the sub-menu gives access to full control for specifying symbology, titles etc. for the plot.
Note on zoom in the window: Drawing a rectangle with the mouse from top left to bottom right will zoom in and drawing a rectangle from bottom right to top left will zoom out in the Time series window.
The configuration of plots is saved with the setup and will automatically appear when the setup is reopened. Any time series not available (either because they come from files that are not reloaded or because the files no longer contain the specified time series) are automatically removed from the plots.
