Use weather converter to convert csv to epw

Hello,

I am trying to convert a csv weather file I got from here, to an epw file using the EnergyPlus Weather Converter tool. I learned that I needed a def file, so I found a def file for converting csv to epw. I am currently getting several errors. I know my question is very similar to this question, but I thought it may be helpful if I post some of the errors that I am getting.

The procedure that resulted in the fewest number of errors was selecting the csv as the input weather file, then overriding the default type and selecting 'energyplus comma separated variable' format. I selected the output format as epw, and gave a file name for the converted file and then selected 'convert file'.I have attached a screenshot of the audit file to this question. C:\fakepath\Barons weather audit file.JPG

Let me know if the procedure above is clear. I have tried the suggested solutions mentioned in the comments on the question I linked above, but they have not worked.

Thank you for the help.
