How to set COP using PAT for Zone Equipment

Greetings, I am a novice OS user seeking to modify a PAT measure to include COP for equipment that was assigned via Zone and not Air Loop.
In my model I am using Cycling PTAC 1 Spd DX Clg Coil with capacity and ratings Autosized. I have tried using the OS measure "Set COP for Single Speed DX Cooling Units" and have discovered this measure will not work unless there are Air Loops. Can this Ruby code be easily changed so that the OS measure will search beyond Air Loops to include all Zone equipment as the EnergyPlus Measure does. I would use the E+ Measure but this will require setting all performance parameters and forgo Autosizing.

Thank you, Matt

@David Goldwasser, I plugged the above into the template provided for Pat measures and was unsuccessful in attempting to run this code. Please find attached the complete code. Thank you, Matt
