Description

Wave is a tool for displaying, analyzing and importing and exporting time series.

Features

Supported formats

• WEL (BlueM, GISMO, TALSIM, Hystem-Extran)
• ZRE
• ASC
• SMB
• REG (SMUSI and Hystem-Extran)
• OUT (SWMM
• PRMS result files
• TXT (SWMM routing interface files)
• UVF (Universelles Variables Format)
• HYDRO_AS-2D result files
• BIN (SYDRO binary format)
• ZRXP (ZXRP format)
• and generic text files (e.g. CSV)

Use a Wave project file (*.wvp) to quickly import multiple series from multiple files at once.

Drag&Drop files onto Wave to import them quickly.

It is also possible to manually input time series, or use copy & paste from Excel.

Visualization & Navigation

Display time series in a highly customizable diagram (provided by TeeChart)

• Overview: An overview chart shows you the full extent of the time series and the period currently displayed in the main diagram.
• Axes: When importing time series, series are automatically assigned to different axes depending on their unit.
• Zoom & pan: Use the mouse to zoom or pan.
• Navigation bar: Use the navigation bar to set a custom display period and to navigate by a fixed time period.
• Quickly switch time series on and off using the check boxes in the legend.

Save & Export

Save diagrams to the native TeeChart format (TEN-File) to preserve all data and formatting (for exceptions, see known issues below).

Export diagrams as image files (PNG, JPG, BMP)

Export time series to the following formats:

• CSV
• ZRE
• SMUSI REG
• SWMM DAT
• UVF
• XLS (made available by TeeChart)

Edit & Analyze

Editing functions:

• Cut time series to a specified time period or to another series' extent
• Convert error values of a time series
• Merge multiple time series into one while respecting priorities

Analysis functions:

• Annual statistics: Compute various statistical parameters (min, max, average) of a time series
• ChangeTimestep: Make a time series equidistant with a user-specified timestep
• Comparison: Plot two time series against each other and compute a linear regression line
• Cumulative: Compute a new time series that contains the cumulative values of the original series
• Double sum curve
• Goodness of fit (volume error, sum of squares error, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, etc.)
• Histogram
• Monthly statistics
• Timestep analysis: Calculate the timestep between nodes in a user-specified unit

API

The API is used by BlueM.Opt and BlueM.Win.

See the documentation.

Notes

Error values

Visualization of NaN values

• "NaN", "Infinity" and "-Infinity" in import files are recognized and accepted.
• Unreadable values are converted to NaN during import.
• If a file format has a specified error value (e.g. -777 for ZRXP and UVF), then any corresponding entries are also converted to NaN.
• NaN values are removed before displaying a series in the chart and when performing analysis functions.
• Custom, user-specified values can be converted to NaN after import.
• NaN values can be visualized in the chart by pressing a button (see screenshot to the right).

Volume property

Wave calculates and displays the volume of a time series (e.g. for GoodnessOfFit analysis or in the properties window), if a time series' unit ends with "/s" (e.g. "m³/s"), by integrating the values over time. Time series with other units only have the Sum property.

Please refer to the Download page.

Known Issues

• When saving a chart to the native TEN format of TeeChart, any NaN values contained in the series are lost (i.e. the nodes with the NaN values are omitted from the series).
