Spcmat input and output files

Figure 4.26, “Spcmat input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Spcmat program. The input files include the inventory file output from Smkinven (AREA, MOBL, or PNTS), the optional pollutant conversion file (GSCNV), the speciation profiles file (GSPRO), the speciation cross-reference file (GSREF), the combination speciation profiles file (GSPRO_COMBO), and the inventory data table (INVTABLE). For mobile sources only, Spcmat uses the mobile emission processes file (MEPROC). More informaton of GSPRO_COMBO file is available at Section 6.5.4, “GSPRO_COMBO: Combination speciation profiles file ”.

Spcmat outputs a mole-based speciation matrix file (ASMAT_L, MSMAT_L, or PSMAT_L) and a mass-based speciation matrix file (ASMAT_S, MSMAT_S, or PSMAT_S). The program also outputs a speciation supplemental file (ASSUP, MSSUP, or PSSUP) and a log file (LOGFILE).
