[EnergyPlus_Support] About Solar Radiation Data

["hvacgeshen516" <geshen516@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to convert EP weather data to other format.

However, some problems appears like below:

I need two kinds of radiation data
a. global solar radiation (total horizontal solar radiation)
b. diffuse solar radiation

In the EP weather data: there are several columns, named:
1. global horizontal radiation
2. direct normal radiation
3. diffuse horizontal radiation
In EP output, there are also two kinds of data
i. environment:diffuse solar
ii. environment:direct solar

two Problems: 
for diffuse solar radiation b:  3!=i (data 3 does not equal with i)
for global solar radiation a: how to get it using data 1,2,and 3, or 
i and ii.

Thanks a lot =)
