How can I output the latent heating/cooling of zones in EnergyPlus(OpenStudio)

I want to get the hourly values of latent heating and cooling energy for zone air system, which are not included in the default output variables in OpenStudio. I want to use the measures from BCL, 2 OpenStudio Measures are available. https://unmethours.com/question/8132/how-do-you-view-hourly-reports-for-variables-other-than-whats-provided-in-the-output-variables-tab-in-openstudio/ But I have problem with variable name. I searched the reference book with "latent heating", and find out that ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem maybe the right one, but I get nothing if I use the "ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem" as the variable name.
