The Major Modes notepad of MetCal (selected using the tab at the top of the page) controls the program's data and control flows during execution. As described in the following sections, each Major Mode has a distinct functionality that may be of more or less use to different users. The default Major Mode is for Standard Outputs. Selection of any other modes produces a pop-up window for input from the user. All of the entries in the window must be completed before MetCal will execute.
