If your problem is that IISiBat does not let you enter a value greater 
than 1, you can set the variable type to "string" and type any number 
you want. This does not guarantee, however, that the model behind the 
proforma will cope with such a parameter value. You should check your 
results carefully (e.g. compare them for 1, 1.1, 1.5, 2, etc.) to make 
sure that the model is actually using the parameter that you entered.

Kind regards,

Michaël Kummert
