Notepad. However, due to the format, they're difficult to read like that. Excel
can open them and be set up to split the data fields properly, or you can just
use a template like this one: <A

work properly. What exactly is the problem you're getting?</FONT></SPAN>

me strange results. I created a *.tm2 file of meteorological data using
Meteonorm software. The created file gives the radiation in W/m^2. The component
that reads this file (type109-TMY2), has by default the unit of solar radiation
in kj/hrm^2. Have you got any idea about how can I change this, without changing
the whole proforma (this is because the proforma has already a lot of changes
that I don’t want to be change in this
project).<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN>
