How to create a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) in openstudio?

Hi, I am using openstudio version 2.8 and I need to model a Heat Recovery Ventilator system. I've seen in some previous reviews some people indicating to use the Air-to-Air Plate library option. In this case, would I need to create an airloop and put this option together with the Outdoor Air System, and two fans, one to represent the return and the supply? My question is also how to fill in the fields indicated in the image below for a proposed model?

Another question is whether I could also use the ZoneHVAC: Energy Recovery Ventilation option? Thanks.
