[Radiance-general] Artificial lighting_lumen output multiplier in a continuing loop

[sokol dervishi]

Hello everyone, 

I have a question regarding the luminaire output multiplier and I would really appreciate your help.

I am doing an experiment in a testbed, however, the inside natural lighting is very low, because of the sorrounding neightbouring walls so we decided to use an artificial uniform light (160x 160 cm) in the window as the light source, -looking at the values for different blind positions and based on a controller, some decisions are made regarding the blind position and the lighting inside the space. 

My question is how to continuously change the lumen multiplier output (-m) , so without  entering the -m value every time manually. I am an researcher in architecture, and I do not have good knowledge in programming.

 ies2rad -dm -t default -m 1.0   TPH710_8xTL5-28W_827_865_HFR.ies

xform -rx 90 -t 4.52 -0.05  1.455 TPH710_8xTL5-28W_827_865_HFR.rad > artificial light.rad

and here is my script 

            "oconv env.rad lab_surfaces_corrected_moved.rad lab_windows_and_doors.rad artificial light.rad> lab.oct", # gendaylit.rad is generated by this script
            "echo '4.52    0.85 0.74 0 0 1 " +
        "3.74    1.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        "4.52    1.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +          
        "5.30    1.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +
        "3.74    2.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        "4.52    2.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        "5.30    2.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        "3.74    3.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        "4.52    3.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        "5.30    3.13 0.74 0 0 1 " +    
        

            "' | rtrace -w -af /tmp/bpi.amb -as 512 -ar 64 -aa 0.15 -ab 3 -I+ -h lab.oct | rcalc -e '$1=($1*0.265+$2*0.670+$3*0.065)*179'"
   
            ]

Thank you very much, 

Best regards,
