are there any document for perl file included in Radiance/bin folder?

Hi all,

When I was following the tutorial "The Three-Phase Method for Simulating Complex Fenestration with Radiance", I could not run the command "gensky 1 12 11|genskyvec -m 1>skyvec_1-21-11_1.skv"(p3) because there is no genskyvec.exe file in my Radiance/bin folder.
Instead of genskyvec.exe, I found genskyvec.pl. Additionally, I found some command is in perl formal, not in exe format.
Can anyone tell me why some command is writtern by perl file?
And also are there any document how I can use these perl file through command prompt?(ex. What is the argument etc)

Thank you.
Regards,
Katsuya

There are a few Radiance programs that are not compiled C code but rather
are interpreted programs, generally written in Perl (but a few
csh dinosaurs remain). In order to use them, you need to have Perl
installed, and properly configured. Once this is complete, that
perl program will execute just the same as any regular Radiance executable.
The man page for genskyvec is here:

Hi Katsuya,

You can find Windows exe files of all the Radiance Perl scripts on my web site:
http://www.jaloxa.eu/resources/radiance/radwinexe.shtml

just drop the exe files into the Radiance bin folder.

Kind regards

Hi Axel,

Thank you for your reply.
You are doing so great work!
Following your instruction, I could run all the exe file except for genskyvec.exe.
When I tried to run genskyvec, I get following error message.
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
Do you have any idea what is causing this error?

Thank you.

Hi Katsuya,

I've never seen this error message, but it sounds like some Windows
file locking thing. Do you have the file you're trying to process
open in a text editor?

Cheers

Hi Axel, Greg, Katsuya,

I get the same error on Windows when using dctimestep. Here's a sample
output:

Note that for the perl scripts, I'm referencing them from my clone of the
NREL git repo, so they should be up to date.

I'm not sure if the messages indicate that anything bad has happened, as
dctimestep is still generating output.

Hi Katsuya,

I suggest to follow the advice from Rob. I usually run the 3-phase method
on Windows OS using the last Radiance release (5.x.x) and it works fine
with the perl program. Just install the perl interpreter (I use this one
<http://strawberryperl.com/>) and run the command for genskyvec with the
.pl extention, like:
gensky 1 12 11|genskyvec.pl –m 1>skyvec_1-21-11_1.skv

best,
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

Well, I am using Strawberry perl (I've also tried other perl interpreters),
and I am using the latest Radiance release (5.0.a.12), and I am still
having this issue.
