The following are the time step selection parameters:
\negmedskip
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt} \begin{itemize}
\item \param{tmin} is the minimum selected time,
\item \param{tmax} is the maximum selected time,
\item \param{nintv} is the number of selected time intervals, and
\item \param{delt} is the selected time interval.
\end{itemize}

In the interval-times mode, up to \param{nintv} time steps at interval
\param{delt} between \param{tmin} and \param{tmax} are selected. The
mode may have a delta offset or a zero offset. With a delta offset, the
first selected time is \param{tmin}+\param{delt}; with a zero offset, it
is \param{tmin}.

In the interval-times mode with a delta offset, the number of selected
time intervals \param{nintv} and the selected time interval \param{delt}
are related mathematically by the equations:
\begin{center} \begin{tabular}{cl}
$delt$ = $(tmax-tmin) / nintv$ & (1) \\
$nintv$ = \cmd{int} $((tmin-tmax) / delt)$ & (2) \\
\end{tabular} \end{center}
With a zero offset, \param{nintv} and \param{delt} are related
mathematically by the equations:
\begin{center} \begin{tabular}{cl}
$delt$ = $(tmax-tmin) / (nintv-1)$ & (1) \\
$nintv$ = \cmd{int} $((tmin-tmax) / delt) + 1$ & (2) \\
\end{tabular} \end{center}

The user specifies either \param{nintv} or \param{delt}. If
\param{nintv} is specified, \param{delt} is calculated using equation 1.
If \param{delt} is specified, \param{nintv} is calculated using equation
2.

In the all-available-times mode, all database time steps between
\param{tmin} and \param{tmax} are selected (parameters \param{nintv} and
\param{delt} are ignored). In the user-selected-times mode, the
specified times are selected (all parameters are ignored).
