Unit Start/Stop Based on OA

Does anyone know if there is a way to schedule unit operation based on OA? For reference I have a building that uses ERUs and they shut off below ~35?F and above ~80?F (I'm aware this is backwards). In the model I would like to be able to shedule the units so that they would only operate within this temperature range. Does anybody have any suggestions?

eQUEST does not allow you to key any keyword value off of a value that will
change. The indirect way to do this is to use the Rocky Mountain
Institute's schedule creator to create an 8760 hourly fan schedule that
would directly line up with your IF/THEN condition on the OAT.
