The PEST Properties dialog box is used to specify many of the input variables in the PEST control file. It is also used to activate or deactivate PEST, to specify the directory in which PEST is located, and to define pilot points. The dialog box is displayed by selecting "Model|PEST Properties..." ModelMuse only supports the use of PEST with MODFLOW and SUTRA

The dialog box is a tree control on the left. Selecting one of the items in the tree control will cause the associated pane to appear on the right side of the dialog box.

Most of the controls in this dialog relate directly to input variables in PEST. The descriptions of these variables come from the PEST manual for PEST version 17.3.
