In spite of our and your best efforts, sometimes things go awry. When things go awry in EddyPro™, there are a number of notifications that will indicate a problem has occurred. These are indicated in the output console and by error dialog boxes. There are a few scenarios in which an error message is likely.
An improperly entered Raw File Name Format will result in one of the following error message in the output console:
fatal error(8): temporary file "flist.tmp" is empty.
no files with selected extension were found in the data folder.
*Program execution aborted*
fatal error(16): no file matches file name prototype.
*Program execution aborted*
fatal error(20): incorrect prototype for raw file names. please check "Raw file name format" entry
*Program execution aborted*
To correct this problem, go to the Project Page and correct the Raw File Name Format entry.
The following error indicates that the alternative metadata file could not be found in the specified directory:
error(7): error while opening INI-format file. looking for a solution.
fatal error(22): bypass metadata file not found.
*Program execution aborted*
Check the metadata file directory and file name. Correct them and try again.
The following indicate that a problem occurred while opening file:
Fortran runtime error: Index '80001' of dimension 1 of array 'filebody' above upper bound of 80000
Total No. of samples in file(s): 11461
Number of samples for current period: 11461
warning(10008): left samples (if any) not enough for an averaging period. Skipping to next file(s).
Either of these errors may occur if the Metadata file information has errors. Under the Raw File Description, check the Number of header rows and the Label of data records entries to be sure they are correct. Delete the Label of data records entry and try again.
Other errors may occur if and EddyPro project was created on one computer and transferred to another. You may need to update input and output file directories if this happens.
