What does having a 'mast height' calibration source file do to other parameters in EXP?
Should I have it, not have it, have a single figure or use a table that has mast height above the water associated with the heel of the boat (ie more heel, less height - geometric).
Not sure?

In the past I have been able to run 'reanalysis' of a course using the Copernicus downloaded gribs - 20years of runs. Great value. Of course I cant remember how I did it
Trying to do the same again and can only get 'No Wind at Start' error message and I have tried a variety of options in the Multiple setup box, to no avail.
I have redownloaded the grib several times to ensure I have the data - about 1.2GB
Can you demystify the process and setup please?
Should I start at year 20 (eg race start at 0900 26/12/2005) and then do hourly intervals over 20years?
Does the start time in Optimal settings have anything to do with this?
Any advice would be gratefully received

One supplementary question, the mast height value directly below the leeway cal
If I set this to actual wind instrument height, how does that affect 'everything'?
Does that affect the GRIB wind speed? I now have a boat with the wind instruments @ 32m above water level, so I am starting to consider the Hellemen exponent and would be factoring wind speed up by about 14%. Manual doesnt seem to talk about it?

In the Leeway calculation inside Expedition, if you check 'Leeway from heel and bsp' what coefficient is applied in the calculation of Leeway?

OK - understood.
Can you explain how they are then loaded?
I assume you have to edit the WIndows Registry files - above my pay grade

Nic - many thanks.
I actually have the same display states on both laptop - so that's OK.
So how do I export the settings? (I assume that will copy the Instrument connection details?)
Regards
Mark

I have two Windows laptops - each configured to respective boats (different lengths, different instrument config, different polars, sail charts, marks, race notes but same display states, etc, etc) - both interfacing with H5000 via websocket and one using an Actisense via USB port to get data out and into the Garmin jumbos. The Instrument Configurations are quite complex.
I want to swap the laptops (or indeed use one of them on both boats).
I understand that the 'User Config' files can transfer the display state as well as simple stuff like boat length, etc.
However is there a 'config file' that holds the Instrument connection setup that I can simply save centrally and load to swap laptops or move a laptop from boat to boat (and back)?
Your advice is always timely and useful.
