See below.  Also, the technical support isn't "very poor", it's just
that the people working on technical issues are actually programmers.
It's up to us to figure out how to use it properly.

Carol,

 

With all due respect, "Only to input the temperature and to look at your
help screen." is not a complete sentence.  Please reply using English if
you'd like to post on a listserv.  If you have advice on how to address
this warning, please provide it.  Additionally, "Flaming" (
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=flaming) is a behavior
typically reserved for prepubescents on chat forums, not professional
listservs.  Please show some professional courtesy in your responses.
Now, let's move forward amicably and discuss the actual topic of the
post.

 

All,

 

We all know that as eQUEST is free software, it has very poor technical
support which is why listservs like this exist.  Here is the research
I've done so far.  Inputting a seach for "econo-low-limit" or even just
"econo" in the eQUEST helpfile produces no results.  Are there "pull
down help menus" which discuss this topic as Carol suggests?  If so,
please direct me to them.  Googling "econo-low-limit" produces one
relevent hit other than this listserv, a user poses the same question I
have, but is issue is never resolved (
http://www.energymodelhelp.com/SMF/index.php?topic=107.0 ).  A search of
"econo-low-limit" on this listserv will yield five results.  In four of
these, "econo-low-limit" is simply listed as an input, in the fifth, it
is suggested as a way of manipulating the model.  However, I cannot find
anywhere on this listserv where the warning "econo-low-limit" = unused
has been discussed.  Therefore, I assume it's a reasonable to post and
and I hope it will be helpful to future users.  

 

I can't figure out where to specify an econo-low-limit in the DD wizard,
if I need to go into the detailed edit to address this, please let me
know where that variable is edited.  I have attempted to edit the files
manually in notepad to specify an econo-low-limit, so far have had no
luck, but truthfully I'm not too experienced with manual edits.  If
anyone could provide some assistance with where to edit this parameter,
it would be appreciated.  Alternatively, if this warning does not have
detrimental impact on the outputs, I will just ignore it.

 

Thanks for your thoughts and comments.

That was polite, Jason. Users of this list need to be responsible enough
to at least look at the pull down help menus before asking a question on
the listserv, It is impolite and wasteful of everyone's time to not do
so. I have sympathy for someone who is learning but if they really care
to learn this skill and be in the business they need to learn to at
least try to find the answers they need. Perhaps the college systems
have changed, which would be a shame, but when I was in school I had to
research and find my own answers. Since I'm older than dirt we didn't
have listservs, Google, or any of those useful tools that now make
finding answers so much easier.

I rest my case,

Carol

This is

you can't
