Time step selection is performed in one of the following modes:
\setlength{\itemsep}{\bigskipamount} \begin{itemize}
\item
\ifx\PROGRAM\BLOT
\bold{Interval-Times Mode}
\else
Interval-Times Mode
\fi
selects time steps at uniform intervals between a minimum and a maximum
time. If this mode has a delta offset, the first selected time is not
the minimum time, but the minimum time plus the interval. If this mode
has a zero offset, the first selected time is the minimum time.
\item
\ifx\PROGRAM\BLOT
\bold{All-Available-Times Mode}
\else
All-Available-Times Mode
\fi
selects all time steps between a minimum and a maximum time.
\item
\ifx\PROGRAM\BLOT
\bold{User-Selected-Times Mode}
\else
User-Selected-Times Mode
\fi
selects time steps which are explicitly specified by the user.
\end{itemize}

The nearest time step from the database is chosen for each selected
time.
