[TRNSYS-users] How to add an external file to a user-created component?

[David Bradley [SEL]]

Louise,
  A default name can be specified for the user by going to the "Files" 
tab in the Proforma. At the left is the field where you specify the 
question and at the right is the name of the parameter to which you want 
to attach the response of the question. If you click on the "more" 
button, you will be able to browse to locate the file that will become 
the default answer. Once you specify that question and its answer, the 
Studio will write the appropriate ASSIGN statement in the deck for you.
Kind regards,
  David
