[TRNSYS-users] Time inconsistency

[David Bradley]

Mitchell,
  The post below from Diego usually pertains to situations in which 
you are using a Type9 to read user-data and a radiation processor, 
not when you are using "standard" weather files. Can you please send 
me the weather file and the *.tpf that is giving you trouble?
Cheers,
  David
