Element, weather file software

Hi, I'm trying to use Element software to create new weather files.

Now i have some doubts about the outputs: it gives me back the "Normal Solar" instead of the "Direct normal Radiation" that E+ should demand.

Am I wrong?

I couldn't find a way to force this variable because it's related to the "Global solar" and to the "Diffuse solar" through an equation. Therefore I can't set all three variables: one is auto-calculated.

Thanks!
