RE: output file

[Arie Kalkman <a.kalkman@xxxxxxx>]

     Dear Isabelle,

Adding a ".xls" extension does not turn your output file into an Excel 
file. I suggest you add a ".dat" extension to your outputfile, to be able 
to distinguish
 between your output file and the Excel file you want to create.
The output file consists of columns with ascii characters, separated by 
spaces or tabs (when you select the "speadsheet" option)
Both files can be imported in Excel, but you have to tell the 'Excell 
import wizard' what the column delimiter is, a space or a tab.

Don't forget to close your output file.dat before trying to run TRNSYS 
again: TRNSYS will give you a number of (non-specific) error messages when 
you have opened your output file in Excell and try to run TRNSYS again.

     Arie.

Dear Trnsys users,

I would like to open my output file directly in Excel. I tried to give a
".xls" extension to my output file names in type 25, but all outputs of
each timestep are written in the same cell. That doesn't really help...
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank's already !
