The function of plot figures in this software design by using MeteoInfo which is a freely available software designed to view and analyze meteorological and spatial data interactively. Add tagert file in this software(Time columns should be preprocessing if target file have), set separator style and make sure title message then data could be showed on the main table. According to set time format, time interval, start and end time then target file could be check depend on time order. After setting flag parameters data figures could be showed with outliers flag, user also can select outliers which program had not find out and the message of outliers could be record in the main table with code ¡®V0¡¯¡®V1¡¯¡®V2¡¯¡®V3¡¯.
