<span style='font-family:Verdana'><span style='font-size:12px'>Hi,<br />
<br />
You can do this simply by replacing the default "Type 109 - TMY2" with a Type 99 (Weather data reading and processing -> User format).<br />
The advantage is that Type 99 processes the solar radiation the same way as Type 109 and has the same output.<br />
<br />
Moreover, when the Type 99 is put in the Studio, there is an example file in "External files" tab, and you can just adapt it.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps,<br />
