[TRNSYS-users] Weather time step

[David BRADLEY]

Wirich,
   There are two basic Types that can be used to read weather data. 
Type15 is designed to read files that have a standard format (such as 
TMY2 or TMY3). Part of the standard format is a 1-hour timestep. If you 
modify a standard format weather file to have a different time step then 
it can no longer be read by Type15. Type9 can be used to read general 
weather data files. However, it does not have the solar radiation 
processing algorithms built into it as Type15 does. You'll need to use 
Type16 to process the results that are read by Type9.
kind regards,
  David
