Another ESP-r and radiance question.

::If I want to try esp-r direct couple radiance, that is timestep in timestep mode, then in source code of ::ESP-r, Which file is to calculate the irradiance of the photocell location? 
 
The frequency timestep of the simulation should match the tdf file if that type of file
is included in the model. If there is no tdf file in the model then you
can choose any timestep. In direct coupling, radiance is called once
per timestep.

Irradiance on the photocell is calculated by Radiance and the ESP-r simulator
will attempt to read the calculated value from Radiance at each timestep.
