Description
The msbrowser opens an interface to the TMS Measurement table. With
the Measurement browser it is possible to obtain a general overview of
a number entries in the table or a detailed view of a specific entry. A
general view is provided via user specifiable queries on the table.
The table can be queried, for example, on observation date, i.e., a
request can be made to return all measurements that occurred between
two dates. All entries in the table which satisfy the request are
return in the browser list box. Each entry in the list contains

about that particular measurement, such as its sequence number,
proposal name, source, etc. Additional detailed information about a specific
entry is obtainable by double-clicking on an entry with the left mouse
button.
