        Problems with running a minute-by-minute file was created by JorgeFuentesCasillas            
    
        Hello, I followed the instructions given in the Weather Data section of SAM's Help system for details of the SAM CSV weather file format. I created a minute-by-minute csv file but it seems that it doesn't run properly, I attach both the csv file and the log.txt with the error message that SAM prompts when I run the simulation. I don't know if I have to change the names in the columns or if it is some kind of format error.
I appreciate any help that you can provide me.
Kind regards,
Jorge.

        Dear Jorge,
The problem is being caused by line endings in the weather file. Please see this post for details:
sam.nrel.gov/node/69915
Also, do not include the units in labels in Row 3. It should look like this for your file:
Best regards,
Paul.

Excellent Paul! Thank you very much.
I used TextWrangler app to save the file with the UNIX LF format, I deleted the extra information (W/m^2) and worked smoothly. Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
Jorge.
