Going from memory.... The type of curve depends on the E+ object that's in use. You may know that when you run a template, the IDF file gets expanded into a complete, non-template IDF. Find out which objects are created in that new IDF and use curves of interest to you. Next, search the Input Output Reference which is included in the E+ documentation for the object of interest and it will tell you which curve type are acceptable
As a note, the "complete, non-template IDF" that Jim refers to ends in [file_name].expidf (short for "expanded IDF") instead of [file_name].idf (file that defines HVAC templates). This expanded IDF is created by the pre-processor tool named ExpandObjects, which can be used stand-alone before running a simulation or after you run a simulation with EP-Luanch by default.
