<p>The format of the incidence angle modifier data file is similar to any of the other models that use the bi-axial format:</p>
<p>The first line in the data file must include the transverse angles for which data is provided - in ascending order - and from 0 to 90 degrees.</p>
<p>The second line in the data file must include the longitudinal angles for which data is provided - in ascending order - and from 0 to 90 degrees.</p>
<p>The next N lines contain the value of the incidence angle modifier at the combination of the longitudinal and transverse angles, where N is the number of longitudinal angles (NL) multiplied by the number of transverse angles (NT). These values repeat for NL times for a given transverse angle. </p>
<p>A few things to remember:</p>
<p>Make sure to set the correct parameter values based on the number of angles that you have</p>
<p>The text file must be pure ASCII text</p>
<p>The data interpolation routine will not extrapolate beyond the bounds of your data - so make sure you have the extremes covered</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An example helps illustrate the format</p>

<div>Hi everyone,<br>concerning the type 1288 of the solar library (TESS), I'm trying to understand:<br>how can the ".dat" file be changed ?<br>(.\Tess Models\SampleCatalogData\Bi-<wbr>Axial IAMs\Typical_LinearFresnel_<wbr>IAM_2d.dat)<br>In particular, is not clear the data sorting into the file, in my case I have the longitudinal and transversal IAM and I don't know which is the exact procedure to fill it preventing possible mistakes by the type.</div>
<div>The document "10-<wbr>SolarLibraryMathematicalRefere<wbr>nce.pdf" that describes this type is missing of the mathematical model, it is written "coming soon" only, <span id="m_1193887912776722943gmail-result_box" class="m_1193887912776722943gmail-short_text"><span class="m_1193887912776722943gmail-alt-edited">nothing more</span></span>, its last update dates back to 10/07/2014 ! <span id="m_1193887912776722943gmail-result_box" class="m_1193887912776722943gmail-short_text"><span>This</span> <span class="m_1193887912776722943gmail-">is unacceptable !<br></span></span></div>
<br>Your help will be appreciated.</div>
Thanks a lot.</div>
