Editing eQuest Weather Files

Hi,

I'm working on a calibrated energy model using eQuest. The client has specified that they would like weather data for this model to be taken recently from a local weather station.

I have hit somewhat of a wall so far. I have managed to open an existing .bin weather file in excel, and replaced the existing data with that of my own. However, I cannot get PKAFT.bat (from DOE utilities) to work. I'm wondering if anyone can point out the lines of text in the PKAFT console that that I should change, and how I should change them.

I suspect the cause is this: after I edit the data in excel and import the data back into notepad, the spaces in the original document are not preserved. Could anyone show me a better why to do this?

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks.
