[TRNSYS-users] Negative value of Radiation in TRNSYS 16

dear all,

I would like to ask you a question about solar radiation. I met an error as
follows. I used Type 9e to import our own solar radiation data whose unit
is W/m2, meantime, I also used an Equation to transfer its unit to kJ/hm2
(i.e. xx*3.6) and used ABS to ensure its value as Positive. But it still
appears the error as follows. Please tell me how could I solve this
problem? E.g. use which Type I should use more easily and what are the
detailed processes to import our own solar radiation to connect with Type
56?

*** Fatal Error at time   :      3820.800000
    Generated by Unit     :    56
    Generated by Type     :    56
    Message               : Negative value of solar radiation for
5orientation encountered


Many thanks in advance!
Br.
wang
