[TRNSYS-users] weather simulators

[David BRADLEY]

If you are using Trnsys17 and standard format weather files such as 
*.tmy, *.tm2, *.epw, *.tm3 then I would recommend using Type15 for your 
weather processing. If you are using Trnsys16 and a standard format 
weather file then you need to use Type89 in combination with Type16. 
Type9 is intended to read non-standard format data files and from your 
description of the weather files that you have, it sounds as though you 
will need to use Type9. If you have the *.xls version, I would recommend 
that you save that file as a "comma separated value" file (*.csv) and 
then read it with Type9. One of Type9's parameters asks you how many 
header lines there are before the data begins. Another parameter asks 
you how many values to read. This second parameter corresponds to the 
number of columns that are in your *.xls file.
Kind regards,
  David
