The 'Tide Database' Toolbox can be used to export tidal amplitude and phases.Delft Dashboard is delivered with three four tide models: TPXO 6.2, TPXO 7.2, TPXO 8.0 and European Shelf 2008. When this data is exported the user is able to visualize the phases and amplitude on a map. An example of the possibilities is given below under the 'Usage of the toolbox' and presented in the Figure.

Tidal information can be determined with Delft Dashboard. Currently three models are supported: TPXO 6.2, TPXO 7.2 and European Shelf 2008. Data can be exported as Tekal or '*mat' file. Determing the tidal information requires only two steps:
- Define the area of interest. This can be done in two manners:
- Draw a box on the map
- Define xmin, xmax, ymin and ymax
- To view the result:
- Click on 'View' to see directly the amplitude and phase of the component chosen in the screen.
- Click on 'Export' which will generate a seperate Tekal-file. A Tekal-file ('*tek') can be used to used with one of the available post-processors (e.g. Quickplot or Muppet)
