[TRNSYS-users] Entering hourly solar incidents of the whole year using Data Readers

[David BRADLEY]

Simge,
   When you say "solar incidents" I am not sure whether you mean 
incident solar radiation or solar incidence angle. However, Type9 is 
able to read 98 different variables (columns_ from a single external 
data file. However, that data file can have as many records (rows) in it 
as you like. If you have a value of solar radiation incident on a 
particular window measured once every 15 minutes for 2 years, you would 
have a data file with a single column and 70080 rows (8760 hours * 4 
records per hour * 2 years).
Kind regards,
  David
