Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed how to check condenser air inlet temperature

I would like to check some results I have obtained, and I need to obtain the condenser air inlet temperature. Usually. it would be the outdoor air temperature, but since I have specified a different inlet node, I need to check this.

In the I/O reference, it is listed a "Cooling Coil Condenser Inlet Temperature" at page 1743, but I think it is only available when Evaporative Condenser is selected.

The I/O reference also states: "This output variable appears only when the DX Cooling Coil is not used as part of a heat pump, otherwise the crankcase heater is reported only for the heating coil" which unfortunately is right my case.

Is there any way to obtain this variable directly from the simulation instead of calculating it with flow rates and heat fluxes? Thanks
