<Global horizontal radiation= Total radiation on horizontal1
Diffuse radiation= Diffuse radiation on horizontal
Time of last read= Time of last data read
Time of next read= Time of next data read>

That's exactly how they should be hooked up.  You also may want to
consider using the Type 16 mode that takes total horizontal + direct
normal radiation.  I think it provides a better algorithm for estimating
the radiation on a tilted surface.
