C++ source code for calculating irradiation information and the daily light integrals from spectrometer derived datasets. These classes build upon and utilizes the previously posted classes. It is a rather specialized set of source code for those with access to a spectrometer or raw irradiance data. As such, part of the value presented here is within the methods utilized to generate the irradiation information.
For more information on spectrometer captured irradiance, see the following thread:
Also, see other source code using the tag: Topics tagged sourcecode
The classes presented here are able to read spectrometer data, dark values, and calibration data from data files that follow the Stellarnet SpectraWiz file formats (which are straightforward) and calculate various useful data such as PAR and DLI.
This is for the DIY types that have some software background. Questions/comment are great but I’d like to ask forum members to avoid the “what’s this good for” type questions within this thread to avoid clutter.
There are several classes and header files, as follows:

//Radiant flux W(J/s) The amount of radiant energy emitted, transmitted or received per unit time
//Radiant flux density (W / m^2) Radiant flux per unit area of a surface traversed by the radiation
//Irradiance(or emittance) (W / m^2) Radiant flux density incident on(or emitted by) a surface
//Spectral irradiance(or emittance) (W m^2 / µm) The radiant flux density incident on(or emitted by) a surface per unit wavelength interval
//Radiant intensity (W/sr) Radiant flux emanating from a surface per unit solid angle
//Radiance (W m^2/sr1) The radiant flux density emanating from a surface per unit solid angle
//Spectral radiance (W / m^2 / sr µm) The radiant flux density emanating from a surface per unit solid angle per unit wavelength interval
//Photon flux density (µmol / m^2 s) Number of micromoles of photons emitted, transmitted or received per unit area per unit time(usually within a specified wavelength such as the photosynthetically active region(400–700 nm))
//Emissivity – The ratio of the thermally generated radiance emitted by a body to the radiance that would be emitted by a black body(or perfect emitter) at the same temperature
