Hi Jeff,
           I followed the procedure you gave me and it gave me exactly what i wanted. Thanks a lot.

Two separate users replied to your earlier request (I believe it was you and apologize if it wasn't) on how to use Type 14 - did you follow their suggestions?  I would also suggest that you review the SDHW example provided with TRNSYS.  Remember, Type 14 needs to have every point specified to make up your forcing function.  For example, if you had a daily function where you are drawing 100 kg/h from 7am to 9am and 200 kg/h 7 pm to 9 pm each day, the parameters would be:
