Brad,
There seem to be two different sources of TMY3 data on NREL's site. I
do not think that this is an issue of the demo version versus the full
TRNSYS version. I will email you a copy of the Albany TMY3 data that I
downloaded from NREL's site; it is correctly read by TRNSYS. Thanks for
bringing this to my attention.
best,
David
