Dear Valentin,<br /><br />I am not really familiar with Type99 (or the former Type109). We typically use a Type9 data reader with a Type16 radiation processor. Nevertheless, to the best of my knowledge, the file should be in W/m2.<br /><br />There are examples with both Type99 and Type9+Type16 in the "C:\TRNSYS17\Examples\Weather Data" directory in TRNSYS 17.00.0019. Those should hopefully be a good reference for you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Best regards, <br /><br />Matt Duffy <br />Project Engineer, TRNSYS Coordinator<br />Thermal Energy System Specialists <br />22 N Carroll, Suite 370 <br />Madison, WI 53703 <br />608.274.2577 <br />duffy@tess-inc.com<br /><br /><br /><br /><!--replyfwdwrap--><div style="background-image: url(http://webmail.fusemail.com/de/r_bg_img.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: 50% top"><strong>----- Original Message -----</strong><br /><strong>From:</strong> "" <valentin.gavan@gdfsuez.com> <br /><strong>!
