Re: [TRNSYS-users] (no subject)

Antoine,
  In Mode 1 the user specifies a range for each Input consisting of a 
minimum, a maximum, and the number of intervals between. Type 27 will print 
the total integrated time (hours) that the Input variable was within each 
of the corresponding intervals.

  In Mode 2 the user specifies a daily time range for each Input, 
consisting of a start time, a stop time and the number of intervals 
between. For each Input, Type 27 will print (and plot) the total integrated 
values of the Input that were present within each of the corresponding time 
intervals. This mode can be used, for example, to determine the daily 
distribution of an energy flux.

  Type27's internal plotting capabilities seem to have been removed 
although the documentation still mentions them. I usually use Excel to plot 
the results of the kind of bin analysis that Type27 performs.

There are a few options. The simplest option is that if you use Type65a, b, 
or c instead of Type65d as your plotter then you will automatically get a 
text file containing all of the data that was plotted by Type65. This data 
can be plotted using Excel or whatever other software you want. The second 
option is to use some combination of integrators (Type24 or Type55) and 
printer (Type25) to create a text output file that can then be plotted. If 
you just need the plot and do not need to analyze the data, you can copy 
and paste the Type65 plot using the "Plot Options" menu when the plot is 
displayed.

 Thanks for pointing out the missing feature in Type27. We will make sure 
it is on the buglist.
Cheers,
 David
