Hi guys,
When I am trying to convert the csv file to bin file for weather data in
software eQUEST Weather Format Convertor, after setting everything done,
clicking "Convert" button.
The software always say "invalid file name". Why?
The file name I used is "NYTMY.BIN".
Anybody knows about this question?
Thank you very much.
Yang
Hi Yang,
Have you addressed the .ini file issue after installing the conversion program?
If that question makes no sense initially, I'm 99.9% sure it is the root of your problem - the solution is explained briefly on the doe2 website where you downloaded eQ_WthProc ( http://doe2.com/index_Wth.html ), and in further detail with instructions by myself and others in the mailing list archives ;).
Best of luck!

Hi,
Thank you very much.
I changed the .ini file path to "C:\Users\xiaoyang shi\Documents", then
"convert" the file.
The software says, " Weather data cleaned successfully. Weather data
loaded successfully from CSV file." However, I cannot find the produced
"bin" file in folder. The software also says:* "is not a vallid floating
point value.*

Thank you again for your help.
Best,
Yang

I haven't run into this 'floating point' error before... if it helps, I used the procedure that just deletes the .ini file to create a new one, try that using the default directories first.
If that doesn't work, I would try to convert another file (try the example files that come with the program)... this might answer whether something in the weather file isn't quite formatted correctly.
If the program doesn't work with the provided sample files, you might need to solicit the input of Paul Reeves or others on the DOE2 team - you may have stumbled into something new. As a last resort you might just try removing and reinstalling the program to see if that helps.
