The existing TSTool template command files work well when comparing monthly StateMod files of similar vintage. However, comparing daily files or 15.00.01/latest have issues that result in quite a bit of noise in the comparisons. To address this, the TSTool additional template command files could be created (or make single command file more complex) and the test script could copy the file that made sense for the comparison, considering:
is dataset monthly or daily? - if daily need to read different binary files
is 15.00.01 being compared? - if so, need to exclude some parameters because they don't match between datasets
Also, it may make sense to always exclude Control_Right and Control_Location, although need more input from the State and modelers on the significance of these differences.
I fixed a bug in TSTool where the excluded parameters was not being handled properly and reran the Yampa daily comparison. The number of time series is now much less, but still have the issue of different parameter lists because of StateMod version.
