Dear Mr. Bradley,<br><br>               Many thanks! You're right. But 
when I open the TRNSYS 15's *.tpf file using TRNSYS 17 studio, so many 
former informations lost, the links' color became BLUE, please see the 
ATTACHED.<br>
<br>              What's more, the TRNBUILD cann't open the former 
TRNSYS 15's *.bui file directly. It said, "cannot open 
BUI-File:(c:\trnsys 15\usr\Iwobay.bld)". Please see the 2nd ATTACHED. 
Please give me some advices to open them completely and keep all the 
former contents in detail using the TRNSYS 15/prebid/iisibat! I'm very 
eager to use those former programs.<br>
<br>             My support said to me, try to adapt the syntax in the 
.dec file to TRNSYS 17, but I tried, it still goes blank. Please see the
 3rd ATTACHED. How to adapt  the syntax in the .dec file to TRNSYS 17?<br><br>
        Thanks a lot!<br><br>        Br.<br><br>wang<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/4/18 王洋 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wanghongyang1767@gmail.com">wanghongyang1767@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

     I just tried and it looks as though File: Open works as expected.
    The Trnsys17 Studio is used for opening *.tpf files; it will make

                  Type93 simply holds onto a value for as many time
                steps as you ask it to, then "releases" the value. The
                control ought to work the same regardless of the system
                size. I am not sure what you mean by "continuous"
                controllers. If you mean that there are some controllers
                that continuously modify a flow rate in order to
                maintain an outlet temperature then a simple time delay
                might cause some problems. You might look at some of the
                controllers available in the TESS Controllers Library
                (for Trnsys17) as there are a number of devices in there
                with minimum run times and start-delays.<br>
