Command Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

WritePenmanMonteithToStateCU(Parameter="Value",...)

Command Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
`OutputFile` required	The name of the output file to write, surrounded by double quotes.	None – must be specified.
`Precision`	The number of digits after the decimal for curve values, used for backward compatibility with older file versions.	`3`
`WriteHow`	`OverwriteFile` if the file should be overwritten or `UpdateFile` if the file should be updated, resulting in the previous header being carried forward.	`OverwriteFile`

Examples

See the automated tests.

The following example command file illustrates how to read Penman-Monteith coefficients from HydroBase, sort the data, create a StateCU file, and check the results:

StartLog(LogFile="Crops_KPM.StateDMI.log")
#
# StateDMI commands to create the Penman-Monteith crop coefficients file
#
# Step 1 - read data from HydroBase
#
# Read the general ASCE standardized coefficients
ReadPenmanMonteithFromHydroBase(PenmanMonteithMethod="PENMAN-MONTEITH_ALFALFA")
#
# Step 3 - write the file
#
SortPenmanMonteith()
WritePenmanMonteithToStateCU(OutputFile="rg2007.kpm")
#
# Check the results
#
CheckPenmanMonteith(ID="*")
WriteCheckFile(OutputFile="Crops_KPM.StateDMI.check.html")
