What is the process of inputting and formatting this data (in .csv format) so it can be used in TRNSYS17 as the weather file. From what I have read Type 15 reads in standard formats (TMY2 etc) but my weather data isn’t in a standard format. There are typical measurements with this weather station (i.e. dry blub temp, RH, total incident radiation on horizontal surface, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, etc)<br><br>Do I need to use the ‘getIncidentRadiation’ function to generate the required data?<br><br>Or do i need to use a weather converter utility outside of TRNSYS17?<br><br>Also, I do not have 8760 datapoints for each parameter, i want to validate the model during a shorter time period, i.e. 1 week. is this possible with TRNSYS?<br><br>Thanks for any help or advice on where to read up on this.<br><br>Kind Regards<br><br>Paul<br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
