[TRNSYS-users] Type 16c_Solar Radiation Processor

[Bastien GARBAY]

Dear all,
 
I would like to estimate the solar radiation on a tilted surface with
Type 16c by choosing Mode 2 (Total radiation surface on a horizontal
surface, ambient temperature and relative humidity datas are known).
These  threes datas were measured with a step time of 10 minutes from
November until Februar. I want to calculate the effective radiation on a
northern and a southern orientation, in order to estimate the effective
solar gains with a step time of 10 minutes.
 
I can't obtain correct results because I think I don't understand the
inputs 4 and 5 of Type 16c. What does "Time of last data read" and "Time
of next data read" mean?
Is it possible to use this type with a timestep of 10 minutes but with
measures on only 4 months (not a complete year)?
 
Thanks for your help and your answer!
 
Bastien
