Import own measurement data in 15 min intervals

[Caroline F.]

Hello, I have a measuring station consisting of a pyranometer. I would like to import my measurement data into PVSyst.

Unfortunately, I only have measurements over a period of two months. Is it still possible to import only this period and simulate with it (no yearly record)?

My records are in 15 minutes time intervals. Is it possible to simulate in this temporal resolution? Or are only hourly measurement series accepted in PVSyst?
What are the minimum parameters I need for a simulation? Global radiation GHI and outdoor temperature?
Thank you very much for the help, which I appreciate.

You can import 15 minute data and pvsyst will convert to hourly

Thank your for the answer. Does PV Syst then average the 4x15 minute values? 

So is it still possible to import only 1-month data and simulate with it (no yearly record)?

It can import monthly data, it does not have to be a full year, and it will create hourly average. Screenshot below for a single month of 1-minute imported data.
