Re: [TRNSYS-users] sky temp (type 69) inconsistent inputs warning

Tim,

Thanks for the response. But...type 69 is not connected to type 109 is 
this case. Only ambient temp & dewpoint, direct & diffuse hoizontal 
irradiances. The error occurs seemingly sporatically. Any ideas?

Cramer -

I have seen this when the weather file is 'missing' cloud cover data - 
meaning that there are 99s entered in the data for some hours.  Type69 
checks this and flags it as being greater than 1.

Hi
All,



I'm getting an
annoying but work-aroundable error, but I'm curious see if there's a 
real problem. When running a simple deck file to create a climate 
analysis (no building, just radiations &amp; temps, etc), I get a bunch 
of the below warnings, ultimately maxing out and causing a fatal error. 
I can get past it by increasing my max warnings, but I'm curious what 
the real issue is. I've checked for the things it says in the message 
but none of those conditions exists.
Anybody got any ideas? Or does type 69 just get cranky easily?
