Are you running Garp 2.02? Is the profiler directory location being correctly defined at the top of the file Garp_defaults? The purpose for separating the profiler in to the HH=00,12 files is because otherwise the number of 6 minute observations in a day exceeds the maximum number of times allowed. Since Garp can open multiple files, it can still exceed the maximum allowd times if you try to plot 6 minute intervals for 24 hours. You can plot 24 hours at 12 minute intervals, or 12 hours at 6 minute intervals- both will use less than the 200 maximum times allowed. If the above doesn't shed any light, could you send me your Garp_defaults file, along with the Garp version you are running and the operating system you are running under. Steve Chiswell
