Overview

This import is available in DELFT-FEWS versions after 13-5-2013 (FEWS version 2013.01)

The IPF parser imports scalar time series data from iMOD IPF files. This file type is described in the iMOD manual.

Imported Columns

IPF files must have at least one of the following two:

  • an X-COORDINATE and Y-COORDINATE columns, AND/OR
  • a LOCATION-ID column

Optionally, it can have a column for the z coordinate: Z-COORDINATE and the location ID: LOCATION-ID. These names are case insensitive.

Because the actual data that will be imported is time series data, a file column must also be present. Its name is irrelevant, because it is specified by index in the IPF file (where 1 is the first column). The importer will not crash if no file column is present, but of course no time series data will be imported.

Supported File Types

Only files of type 1 (time series data) are supported.

Imported Geometry

For each record in the IPF file, a point geometry will be created.

Missing values

In the time series files, for each column a missing value should be specified. Note that FEWS cannot handle column specific missing values. It will use all missing values for all columns. For example, in the following file:

3
3,1
date, -999
measurement1, -999
measurement2, 100
20130515  200  -400
20130516  100  -500
20130517   50  -600

the value 100 in the second column will be incorrectly marked as missing.
