Leap year in ASCII weather data

[stefm]

Hi,

I've been trying to import an ASCII file of actual weather data from 2000, which was a leap year, into PVsyst version 6.08. I've tried using the "Dates read on file" option, but instead of reading 29th February when converting, it skips to March, adds a 13th month at the end of the data, and replaces the corresponding weather data with zeros. Is there a tutorial online for importing leap year data, or has someone dealt with this problem before?

Thanks!

I am aestonished, as normally the leap years are treated correctly when importing ASCII files.

Please send me your original data file, and the .SIT and .MEF files you have used for importing.

The forum won't let me upload a .csv file, so I'm sending all three files to the admin@pvsyst.com email found on the website. Thanks for your help!

OK, this was am error in recognizning Year 2000 as Leap year (only in special cases).

Corrected for the next version 6.12.
