I'd guess that last '55.9' is the -B value. It's optional but will
create a 10000lux sky which is a nice value to work with.

If you can access the *.bat file before it is run you should find the
sky definitions in it (assuming that is just lists each step in the
loop). You can simply add the -B and -R option and values to the line
that gets written into the sky file in each loop. Then run the batch
file as before.

If you have a few hundred or thousand values, though, we should find
another solution. If you can send me the *.bat file we can work out
the steps that are necessary in EcoTect.
