Myting,
   TRNSYS is able to read a number of different weather file formats. If 
you are using TRNSYS 16, then your options are to use Type109 to read TM2 
or AMeDAS format files (you may also use Type109 to read user-defined 
format files). You may use Type89 to read EnergyPlus (*.epw), International 
Weather for Energy Calculations (*.iwc), Typical Meteorological Year 
(*.tmy), Typical Meteorological Year version 2 (*.tm2), or TRNSYS TMY 
files. You may use Type9 to read user-format data files as well. The most 
important thing is to make sure that the mode (usually a parameter) of the 
data reading component that you have selected corresponds to the type of 
weather file that you are trying to read. I would also suggest that you use 
a Type65 online plotter connected directly to your weather data reader to 
make sure that the data coming from that component makes sense to you. If 
you continue to have trouble, you can look at some of the example 
simulations in the \Trnsys16\Examples\ directory or you can directly 
contact your TRNSYS distributor for assistance.
Kind regards,
  David
