= PDAF_set_offline_mode =

This page documents the routine `PDAF_set_offline mode` of PDAF. This routine was introduced with PDAF version 2.2.

The routine activates the offline model of PDAF. It has to be called after PDAF was initilized in `PDAF_init`. 

The interface is:
{{{
  SUBROUTINE PDAF_set_offline_mode(screen)

    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: screen            ! Control verbosity of routine
                                             ! >0: display information output
}}}

'''Notes: '''
 * This routine replaces the activation of the offline mode by setting `subtype=5` as was used in PDAF before version 2.2. While setting `subtype=5` still works with PDAF V2.2 it is recommended to use PDAF_set_offline mode.
 * Using PDAF_set_offline_mode instead of `subtype=5` allows to freely choose the subtype of an assimilation method.
