Can energy plus output indoor temperature at the 1-minute frequency?

Using EnergyPlus: I am able to get hourly data of many variables and view in Data Viewer (see image below). image description

Instead of hourly, I'd like to get this data at the 1-minute or 3 minute frequency.

I know that via the IDF editor, I can change the "Number of Timesteps per Hour", but this doesn't change the output.

NOTE: I am using BEopt and, alternatively, directly running EnergyPlus (EP-Launch) with input files generated from BEopt.
