The OrigenArp Windows graphical user interface may produce incorrect time step values when a new irradiation case is inserted between existing irradiation cases. The time value at the end of an irradiation case is used in the next case (input variable TMO) when consecutive time step values are requested. When a new irradiation case is inserted, the value of TMO in the next case may not be updated correctly, causing incorrect time step values to be used after the new case. This error generally results in easily detectable anomalies if plots of irradiation case data are displayed. The values of TMO may be corrected by "importing" the text input file (.inp) generated by such a case. OrigenArp will check the values during importing, identify the problem to the user, and automatically correct the data.
