Windpro Service

The WindPro Service provides access to functionality related to general windPRO meta data and coordinate system conversions. You can get the windPRO version, information about your licence and the WAsP version that you are using. Additionally, there is the possibility to convert coordinate systems. This can be useful, if you have data in different coordinate systems, e.g. wind turbine positions in a local country specific coordinate system, but you are working in a project where all data is in UTM. These coordinate transformations are not related to a specific projects and are available regardless of what projection is set in a project.
