It is my understanding that beginning Jan. 2014, California Climate Zone 8 will change from El Toro MCAS to Fullerton Municipal Airport.

I downloaded and installed the TMY3 to TMY2 conversion utility from NREL and also downloaded the Fullerton Airport data in a .csv file. The converted file is 326 kb in size versus the normal 146 kb for .bin weather files. After renaming the converted file to include the .bin extension, I tried running a sample simulation, but it crashed.

First, I get an invalid argument message box, which has been covered here quite a bit. The simulation output only has one page with the error shown below.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem and if so, do you know the procedure/work-around to keep eQUEST from choking on the weather file?

Thank you.
