WCP

Support is provided for reading data from files recorded using WinWCP.

class myokit.formats.wcp.WcpFile(filepath)

Represents a read-only WinWCP file (.wcp), stored at the location pointed to by filepath.

Only files in the newer file format version 9 can be read. This version of the format was introduced in 2010. New versions of WinWCP can read older files and will convert them to the new format automatically when opened.
