[TRNSYS-users] New to Trnsys

[Jeff Thornton]

Before you start off on your new adventure of writing a type, I
might suggest you see if there's an existing model that does what you
need. In this case, there is a Type that reads an Excel file as part of
the standard TRNSYS package. But very likely, you just want to read data
at even intervals of time. If this is the case, simply export the data
from Excel to a delimited text file and read in the data using the
popular Type 9 data reader. 

If you truly want to write a Type that
communicates with Excel I hope you have a strong background in Fortran
and the Windows API because this is not a simple task.
