Hi Pietro, I made a ticket and you should have received an email. You can just reply to that email and it goes automatically into our support- system. Just in case you did not get the email. I will send another one now. I use the email address you used registering to this forum. Please let me know if you prefer another email address. Best regards, Matti Lindroth

Hello Pietro, Without seeing the situation I would guess there is some problem with the data. Have you tried looking at the timeseries graphs ? If I remember correctly the parts of the code that produce Omwc and Ewc graphs are using natural logarithm to calculate scaling and axis lengths. It seems that negative value is passed on to this ln-function. Is it possible for you to send me the WaCA- project file? I can create a ticket of this into our support-system and you can send it to me in there. This way you don't have to share it with the rest of the world. Best regards, Matti Lindroth

Greetings Thierry, This indeed a problematic type in current WaCA 3.1 build. I was able to reproduce the problem you are experiencing. It seems the date time format is not recognized by WaCA. I am going to include this date time format to the supported date time formats list for the next build, but in the meantime if you want you change the format in following ways to use your data in current available WaCA version: 1.) Either write the time stamp in one bundle like this: 201312231240 2.) Or just remove the colon between hour and minute like this: 20131223 1240 Both of the date time formats above are supported. You can achieve the latter one easily by a simple replace or remove operation in almost any text editor. Also I recommend using ISO-8601- format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) whenever possible. It is unambiguous and mostly supported by any software.

Hi, Currently there are no tools to convert .wcp files to .wcp3 files. To start using Climate Analyst 3.1 you can do either of the following: 1.) Import all your data again with Climate Analyst 3.1 and apply all the transformations that you had with Climate Analyst 2 or earlier. 2.) Export all the time series from your current .wcp project as .amos, and import them with Climate Analyst 3.1. Cheers, Matti

We have now made a release of Climate Analyst 3. We are no longer at "Release candidate" but Release version, which will also be soon available for download also from http://www.wasp.dk downloads section and will replace the old Climate Analyst 2. For the time being you can download it from here: http://wasptechnical.dk/Services/Redirect.aspx?token=344a6513-4dba-46f9-8cba-6d9c69be2e2e WACA 3 is safe to install alongised WACA 2 and will not affect the results you get from the older version. WACA 3 does not require any kind of license to run and make calculations. Also should you happen to have any questions or problems related to WACA 3, and especially if you find a bug, please do not hesitate to contact me/us via email waspsupport@dtu.dk or this forum.

WAsP Climate Analyst 3.0 will soon be released alongside a new version of WAsP Engineering (3.1). We are now testing a "Release Candidate" buildof the new Climate Analyst, and would be very pleased to get feedback from anyone who has time to help with testing. WACA 3 can be installed alongside WACA 2,and will not affect the results you get from the older version, so testing version 3 is perfectly safe. WACA 3 does not require any kind of licence. WACA 3 makes it much easier to import data: removing the need to create and manage import protocol files. It also supports the generation of Peak Over Threshold extreme wind climate files, in preparation for WENG 3.1. You can download it from here: http://wasptechnical.dk/Services/Redirect.aspx?token=6c362cc6-a793-450f-8136-78f54ccdfd14. Also should you happen to have any questions or problems related to WACA 3, and especially if you find a bug, please do not hesitate to contact me/us via email waspsupport@dtu.dk or this forum.

Hello Vob, Sorry to hear WaCA 3 couldn't help you there. You were able to read the files into WaCA ok ? I have to have a chat with within our team to see if there is a way we could improve the WaCA to support this use-case better. The Climate Analyst is free and does not require developer license, so VBA script should work ok. Let me see what I can come up with. I'll try to create an example for you today. Cheers, Matti

Hello, I believe there is a way to make this easier for you. You could try using Climate Analyst 3 (which is still in beta, though) to import data and make your tab files. You can import your data as you get it, adding to the project, and you can select the data timerange you want to use when creating the Omwc (Observed mean wind climate) and export them as tab files. Climate analyst 3 remembers the parameters you used to import the first batch of files and suggests the same configuration when you later append more data to your project. In Climate Analyst 3 we have removed the import protocol bit making importing files a lot easier. You can read more about Climate Analyst 3 and download it from here: http://www.wasptechnical.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?id=786 If this doesn't work I can try and create a vba sample in Excel which reads a file, generates a omwc and exports it as a tab file. Best regards, Matti

Hello, We have now made a new build of WaCA 3 with some fixed bugs and added support for more data file types. We also enhanced the data type estimation for data files without headers to indicate column data types. You can download the latest build from here: http://wasptechnical.dk/Services/Redirect.aspx?token=81588d0b-7616-4948-b0d9-f1fa76d2a190 We are still shipping WaCA 2 alongside and we are still running on Beta due to lack of polishing and testing. I'd be happy to hear some feedback on WaCA 3. You can post it here or you can email me directly to address: matti.lindroth@wasptechnical.dk Best regards, Matti Lindroth

Hello all, We are now ready to release WAsP Climate Analyst (WaCA) 3.0 beta 1. EDIT (2014-05-13): * Renewed the download link the the newest build #42 which has some fixed bugs for file structure detection, reading and a few minor UI enhancements (tooltip texts). New features: * In the WaCA 3.0 we have completely removed the old protocols and protocol editors, and instead try to automatically detect the wind speed and direction columns from the data. Detection is primarily based on the headers and secondarily on the data. The data is expected to be in SI units for automatic detection from data. * Automatic detection of changed data files and automatic re-import. * Supports importing from multiple files to multiple heights in one import batch * Selection of time ranges which are to be used in the Omwc and Oewc analysis Other notes: * The WaCA 2.x project files are not compatible with 3.0 or vice versa. * Some of the old data export file types are currently missing but will be added later on. * You can still export Omwc and Oewc files to be used in WAsP directly. Installation instructions: The installation can be run on top of existing WAsP Climate Analyst 2.x No need to uninstall the old WaCA before installing. The installer will install also the latest Climate Analyst 2.1 as well as the 3.0 Beta 1.) Download the installer from this link: http://wasptechnical.dk/Services/Redirect.aspx?token=83ab63e1-1af6-4397-92e2-c9bbce29d200 2.) Run the installer and follow the steps Usage: * Create a new empty project * Right click on the treeview on top of 'Untitled site' and select 'Import data set...' * Select a file (or many files of similar structure) * Check that the detected channels are correct, click next * The data is being read in, when this is done click next * Now verify the data treatment values (calm thresholds, discretisation widths, upper and lower bounds etc..) and click next when ready * Now select the wind speed and wind direction pairs which you want to import into your project by drag-dropping channels to heights. You can create new heights by right-clicking with your mouse on the site- node. * When you have at least 1 valid speed - direction pairing done, you can import it by clicking "Finish"- button. Final notes: Please if you find any bugs, problems, files that do not work or other issues you can report them to this forum or directly at email: matti.lindroth@wasptechnical.dk Hope you enjoy it :) Best regards, Matti Lindroth

We have released a dll for generating .tab- files from time series data. The DLL is currently for Windows platform only and can be used as a com object or as a .net assembly. The DLL is distributed free of charge. In order to work the dll requires Wasp Climate Analyst 2.0 to be installed in the same computer where the dll is used. This is also provided free of charge. Should you be interested please contact me at matti.lindroth@wasptechnical.dk
