’RADIOMETER GAS’ command

[d-pit]

Hello community,

I need your advice on using the ’RADIOMETER GAS’ command. I tried to start a simulation with this command in FDS-6.9.1-0-g889da6a-release version, but it does not work, and this error occurred: ERROR(101): Problem with DEVC number 124

I wrote the code as follows:
&DEVC ID='RADG1-100', QUANTITY='RADIOMETER GAS’, PROP_ID = 'R', XYZ=0.22,0.7,0.5, ORIENTATION=0.0,1.0,0.0/
where PROP ID is:
&PROP ID = 'R',
GAUGE_EMISSIVITY = 0.95,
GAUGE_TEMPERATURE = 20.0/

What did I do wrong? If I change the quantity to, for example, 'GAUGE HEAT FLUX GAS', the code works, and the simulation starts. I also tried reinstalling FDS, but it did not help.

Thank you for your advice.

Please attach a simple version of your input file that demonstrates the problem.

My guess is that you probably used a text editor that added a non-ASCII font or you cut and pasted from Word or something like that. Can you spot the problem?

As always, we are not the first to discover this problem.

Found this on texstackexchange:

\usepackage{upquote}

{\ct \textquotesingle RADIOMETER \textquotesingle}

This works, but it would be tedious to make all these substitutions. I'm trying to redefine \ct but each attempt has negative side effects.

Unfortunately trying to do set of global search and replace (make all single quotes \textquotesingle and then search/replace to recover possessive nouns and double end quotes) doesn't work since the lstlisting blocks don't process the \textquotesingle and just print it as is. There is something like 5500 single qouotes so be a couple hours to do a global search and replance checking one by one.

I've been sucked in. I think I have a solution using \lstinline, but there are still things to fix.
