1.3 Using the OC/SA
Recall there are two instances of CHPS, the Operator Client (OC) (live system), and the Stand Alone (SA).
The SA gathers data (either via manual data extraction or using an Archive Module) from the OC to create simulations.
- The OC serves as the source for data.
- The SA serves as the platform for performing the simulation based training.
Configure the CHPS SA to import archived files or canned observation data sets to recreate flood events, serve as a powerful hindcasting tool, or perform other simulated analysis.
The CHPS software, true to its "everything is configurable" nature, allows for several options for simulation-based training.
Keep in mind, the focal point will be working in both systems.

Hindcasting, also known as back testing, is an analysis method where known observations or model forcings are put into CHPS and run to see how the output compares with the outcome of an event.
