[TRNSYS-users] Problem with TYPE1270

[David BRADLEY]

Biljana,

   I'm glad you mentioned about Trnsys17 and 18; Trnsys17 is a 32-bit 
program while Trnsys18 is a 64-bit program. The Type1270 dlls that work 
for one version will not work for the other. You can contact the 
distributor from whom you purchased Type1270 and they will be able to 
get you both a 32-bit and a 64-bit of the component.

   If after making sure that the versions are correct, you are still 
having trouble please send the project that you are trying to run to 
your distributor and they can help debug it. If you aren't sure who to 
contact, please send me a direct message and I can put you in touch with 
the appropriate person.

kind regards,

  David
