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.
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:
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
- "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.

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).
