The foregoing exposition is far from being exhaustive, but will be useful to make the HD2402 unit operation known and to understand the approximations made by the in- strument for the calculation of the various radiometric quantities requested by L.D. No 81/08.
Remark : for small angles, F is actually the solid angle under which the observer source is seen. By using this reduction, HD2402 unit allows to calculate the radiance of the irradiance measured values.

Similar definitions apply to photometry where irradiance will be replaced by illumi- nance (lux) and radiance by luminance [cd/m λ More generally, the link between any spectral radiometric quantity GR( ) and the cor- responding photometric quantity GF is given by the following formula: ∫...
By pressing the button, the LASER is switched on for 10 seconds. HD2402 is powered through the USB cable, when it is connected to a PC. The red indi- cator on the back of the instrument shows that the instrument is properly powered.

6 MANAGEMENT OF A MEASUREMENT CAMPAIGN WITH DELTALOG13 The chapter describes all steps needed to perform a measurement campaign, with the purpose to evaluate and analyze one or more sources and positions in the same place. A measurement campaign is performed through the following steps: 1.
In case of doubt, it is advisable to select the AUTO setting, leaving to the instrument the most appropriate choice to use. Once a new scale is set, the Apply key must be pressed to activate the change. When pressing the Apply key, the setting of inputs is saved in the instrument and will re- main active even if the instrument is subsequently disconnected.
(hh:mm:ss) . Select the Apply key to save the instrument settings, logging will auto- matically start at the set date/time. The instrument can also be disconnected from the PC and connected to the power supply unit. The rear LED blinks every 3 seconds until acquisition is started;...
Please refer to the software manual or online help for details on the functions avail- able in the window containing the log list. 6.4 D ATA ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION REPORT Select the Project icon and then the New project item for the analysis of the data de- tected by the instrument.
Page 22
The right panel contains two additional columns: N. Measures Done (number of meas- ures performed on the source) and N. Measures Report (number of measures used to prepare the evaluation report). The column content is void for the moment and will be updated afterward, when some measurements will be associated to the source.
Page 23
The window is divided into five panels: • The panel with the project components (in the upper left side), where the log file is now present. • The panel with the selected file information (placed below the panel of the pro- ject components).
Page 24
measurements with a gold background will be considered in the final evaluation re- port. The evaluation can be performed using several consecutive measurements, selecting them by means of the SHIFT key on the PC keyboard (select the first measurement of the series, then keep the SHIFT key depressed and select the last measurement of the series), and pressing the Save icon.
6.4.1 Geometrical parameters The instrument measures irradiance, while radiance value must be known for calculat- ing some exposure limit values (ELV). If geometric parameters are known, both quan- tities can be calculated (the solid angle subtended from source to sensor must be known) through calculation of the geometric parameter F.
6.4.2 Luxmeter table The values measured by the luxmeter are displayed in the Luxmeter table. The data displayed in the table are: • Illuminance value in Lux (if a single sample is considered, the value corre- sponds to the instant value or, if several samples are taken into consideration, it corresponds to the mean value).
6.4.3 Table a. 180-400 Table a. 180-400 describes the exposure limit for parameter “ a ”. The displayed data are: • Effective irradiance value E [W/m ] (corresponds to the instant value if a sin- gle sample is considered, or to the mean value if several samples are consid- ered).
6.4.5 Table c.d. 300-700 Table c.d. 300-700 shows L exposure limit for parameters “ c ” and " d ”. The limit varies according to the source observation time and angular dimensions; consequently, different exposure limits correspond to different observation times and dimensions.

7 SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS Measurements of artificial optical radiations are conducted on a wide spectral interval ranging within 180nm and 3000nm. Different risk indexes are associated to different spectral intervals, depending on the kind of damage produced by the optical radiation on the exposed parts of the human body: eyes and skin.

8 SENSOR CALIBRATION Instruments are factory-calibrated and do not require any additional intervention by users. Each sensor in the HD2402 is individually calibrated in different modes. Luxmeter (Channel 6) , calibration is performed by comparison to the second-line reference luxmeter used at the Delta OHM metrological laboratory; the comparison is performed through an incandescent lamp operating at a color temperature of 2856K (illuminant A).
