o L
R
(11mrad) [W/(m² sr)] radiance calculated assuming that the source angular
dimension is 11mrad.
o L
R
(real) [W/(m² sr)] real radiance calculated starting from the entered geomet-
ric 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:
if Alpha > 100mrad it is assumed that C

The exposure limit time in seconds is displayed aside radiance values.
If the Include in Report box is selected, table data will be included in the final report.
