[TRNSYS-users] Strange result from the weather data reader

[Jeff Thornton]

Mr. Lee

TRNSYS does not output instantaneous values, so the value that you are 
seeing at a particular point in a printer is the average over the 
timestep.  If you plot the temperatures at the midpoint of the timestep, 
as I have done in the attached spreadsheet, you will see that the 
profiles are identical.
