Re: [TRNSYS-users] Time inconsistency

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Mitchell,
 The post below from Diego usually pertains to situations in which
you are using a Type9 to read user-data and a radiation processor, not
when you are using "standard" weather files. Can you please
send me the weather file and the *.tpf that is giving you trouble?
Cheers,
 David
