Use the --quiet option
Large time series will take some time to print in the command line. It's really useful to use the --quiet flag.

Neighbor lookup ?
When reading data from external time series data, it is rather rare that the requested location coordinates truely exist as a data record. Most likely, we need to ask for the location in the data that is nearest to the coordinates of our interest. There are also other methods for inexact location lookups available through the --neighbor-lookup option.

20 years of hourly time series!
Since we ask for 20 years of hourly time series, it is a good idea to use the --quiet flag! Otherwise, it is going to take quite some time to print such a large times series in the terminal.
The --uniplot will still work and this is the idea behind the --quiet flag.
Multiple seriesΒΆ
uniplot will also handle multiple series. This is useful for example in the context of the broadband-multi command.
