How do you make an energy plus input file from real weather data?

We have taken TMY3 data, saved it as .csv in the EnergyPlus weather converter add-on, then replaced the temperatures with our own. We are now trying to save it as a .epw.

First it complained about our .def file, so we created the following. Now it complains "Error occurred in processing" the csv file. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is our .def file:

&location City='Rochester' StateProv='NY' Country='USA' InLat=43.1656 InLong=77.6114 InTime=-5 InElev=154 InWMO=725290 /
