  1. FEWS configuration file Explorer.xml in the directory SystemConfigFiles## the dateTime section  
      1. In order to hide the year within FEWS, the dateTimeFormat must be configured accordingly.  
      1. The cardinalTimeStep should be consistent with fewsSystemTimeUpdateInMinutes. Indeed, it makes no sense to set it in the Water Coach to 1 minute, while it is set to 1 hour in the FEWS configuration (although this will not cause any problems in the game). (obsolete as of FEWS release 2013.02)
      1. The element adjustSystemTimeAutomatically should be set to 'true', otherwise it will not be possible for the Water Coach to alter the systemTime during the game. (Also make sure that you don't have a T0 configured in the global.properties file).
    2. The port number fewsPiPortNumber for the FEWS PI service has to be in the range of port numbers that must be specified in Explorer.xml. Note: by specifying this range the PI service is started. This part of the configuration can be kept the same in the operational configuration.

    3. To distinguish the FEWS configuration for the Water Coach, one could change the name and panel labels. The name of the Explorer window is configured with systemCaption and the name of the panels with panelHeaderLabels. For example, the term TRAINING or SERIOUS GAME could be added to the captions of these panels.  (obsolete as of FEWS release 2013.02 since the FEWS user interface contains a yellow border when operated in Water Coach mode)
  2. Depending on the set-up of the scenario and script database, an additional change could be required, see Scenario and Script database.
  3. Note: with some configurations at the start-up of fews via the water coach, the error message 'Fault occurred' may occur. This message can be ignored.
  4. Since all data for a scenario is pre-loaded in the FEWS local data store, it is desirable to hide certain data after the current system time, e.g. measurement data. This can be accomplished by specifying hideExternalHistoricalAfterSystemTime=true in the file global.properties, which is located in the FEWS configuration directory. As the name of this key implies, only time series of the type "external historical" are hidden; time series of the types "external forecast", "simulated historical", and "simulated forecast" are completely visible. As of FEWS release 2012.02, this step is no longer required.
