Brad,<br>
I went to NREL's data site and got the Albany data file, saved it
locally (leaving the extension of *.csv) and made a new project in
the demo version using the Type15-TMY3 (Type 15 mode 7) proforma,
indicated the Albany data file, put in an online plotter to watch
temperature and ran the project without any errors. If you'd like to
send me the file that you downloaded I can try that one too.<br>
kind regards,<br>

<div>The file I downloaded directly from NREL (with CSV
extension) produced the same error message. I am pretty sure I
did save it as tab delimited because it was the only way I
could figure out how to end in a TMY3 extension rather than
TMY3.CSV. (I am not sure if the CSV extension is a problem).</div>

The official TMY3 syntax is comma separated. The file you
attached is tab delimited. Did you download it directly
from an NREL site or did it get processed (resaved as tab
delimited?) along the way?<br>
best,<br>

<div>I am using Type15-TMY3. The file I used is
attached. I have tried it with a couple
different ones and neither worked. Thanks for
looking into it.</div>

TMY3 files downloaded from NREL's site
should work fine with the demo version. You
do have to make sure that you are using the
TMY3 mode of Type15. When you get the error,
to what "it" do you refer? Is there an error
generated by TRNSYS? Is Windows complaining
about the file type? Some additional
specifics about the source of the error and
the language of the error would help in
tracking down its cause.<br>
kind regards,<br>
