o L
R
(real) [W/(m² sr)] is the real radiance calculated starting from the entered
geometric parameters.
o t_lim [s] exposure time limit, that is the time period during which a source can
be observed without damages to the visual system. This value is calculated with
the following procedure (all radiance values are expressed in [W m
