how can I write an objective function of minimizing the PPD in GenOpt

I am trying to optimizing the Trombe wall system using Genopt, combined with EnergyPlus PPD is already given in the energyPlus output this is my trial for optimization, I wouold like to make sure that is ok, as it does have any calculation process.

ObjectiveFunctionLocation {

  Name1             = PPD;
  Delimiter1        = "683,";
  FirstCharacterAt1 = 1;

} } // end of section Simulation Optimization { Files { Command { File1 = command.txt; } }

This is my trial for optimization, I wouold would like to make sure that is ok, as it does doesn't have any calculation process.

ObjectiveFunctionLocation

Optimization {
  Files {
    Command {
      File1 = command.txt;
    }
  }

My second question is to make sure that this optimization will check the whole operation time (typical winter week) and how could I get the whole results for this (transient/dynamic results)
