Number of sectors in WRG files?

[vob]

Hi all,
perhaps a very stupid question, but how many sectors are allowed for well-formatted WRG/RSF files?
The WAsP documentation appears to put no limit to the sector count as long as it fits into columns 70-72, while freq/A/k entries are specified for exactly 12 sectors in columns 73-228. Does it mean that WRG files should always have 12 sectors (then why do we need to specify the sector count)? Or may we use arbitrary numbers of sectors? Then the documentation should indicate that more columns may be added beyond the k value for sector 12.

Thanks!

Hi vob,
There is no such thing as a stupid question ;-)


I agree that the WAsP help file describes the default 12-sector setup only when it comes to RSF/WRG files. This is not a limitation of the software. The limitation is 36 10-degree sectors in the OWC and therefore also in the results. WAsP 12 will happily export 36-sector resource grids to RSF files.


Thanks for your question; we'll update the help file accordingly in the next version.


Best regards,
Niels
