Since its introduction in 1986 (IESNA LM-63-1986), this stan- dard has proved to be very usefu
17、l and powerful. This revision further clarifies the standard to make its use as simple as possible. 2.0 LIMITS OF SCOPE This document describes the ANSMESNA LM-63- 2002 data system and how to build a file using this system. This recommended standard addresses pho- tometric data file formats specific
18、ally for data transfer, however, it is recognized that this standard is often used for data storage and retrieval. 3.0 KEY DEFINITIONS Absolute (or direct) photometry - Consists of the simultaneous comparison of a standard lamp and an unknown light source. Delimiter - Used to delineate data in a fil
19、e. Acceptable delimiters are: a comma, a space, multiple spaces, or a carriage-return and line-feed character sequence. Goniophotometer - A photometer for measuring the directional light distribution characteristics of sources, luminaires, media and surfaces. Horizontal angles - Measurements in degr
20、ees of angular displacement measured counterclockwise in a horizontal plane for Type C photometry and clock- wise for Type A and B photometry. Keyword- Square bracketed words used in IESNA LM-63-2002 to label data. Photometric horizontal - Refers to a horizontal direc- tion from photometric center t
21、hat is coincident with horizontal angle O“ and vertical angle 90“ for Types B and C photometry. For Type A, the direction is coinci- dent with horizontal angle O“ and vertical angle O“. Photometric plane - A plane, not a cone, upon which photometric data is measured. In Types A and C pho- tometry, t
22、he planes are all vertical and share a com- mon vertical axis. In Type B photometry, the planes share a common horizontal axis. Photometric zero - Refers to a vertical direction from photometric center that is coincident with horizontal angle O“ and vertical angle O“ for Types B and C pho- tometry.
23、For Type A, the direction is coincident with horizontal angle O“ and vertical angle -90“. Relative photometry - Consists of the evaluation of the photometric characteristic of a lamp by compari- son with the assumed lumen or spectral output of a test lamp. Search string - A group of characters creat
24、ed by the user of the photometric file located to the right of the keyword SEARCH. These strings may be used by software to locate photometric files based on encod- ed characteristics. Vertical angles - The angular displacement in degrees from straight down (referred to as nadir in the IESNA Lightin
25、g Handbook). Zero degree photometric plane - A vertical plane passing through photometric center containing photo- metric zero and photometric horizontal. 4.0 SUMMARY OF MODIFICATIONS FROM IESNA LM-63-I 995 The following is a summary of the major changes from LM-63-1995 to LM-63-2002: The first line
26、 in the file is now IESNA:LM-63-2002 (see Section 5.1). All lines can now be 256 characters in length (see Section 6). All IESNA LM-63-2002 filenames shall now have the file extension es or IES. The following keywords are now required: TEST, TESTLAB, MANUFAC, and ISSUEDATE (see Section 5.2). DATE ke
27、yword replaced with ISSUEDATE (see Annex B). BLOCK and ENDBLOCK keywords have been removed. All tilt filenames (TILT=) shall now have the file extension tlt or TLT (tilt format moved to Annex G). Definitions of the Luminous Opening have been expanded and, in some cases, modified. The fol- 1 ANSVIESN
28、A LM-63-02 lowing shapes are directly affected: Circular, Sphere, Vertical Cylinder, Horizontal Cylinder, Ellipse, and Ellipsoid (see Table 1 and Annex D). The allowance for horizontal angles starting at 90 degrees and ending at 270 degrees for Type C photometry has been removed. LAMPPOSITION keywor
29、d has been added (see Annex E). 5.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DATA The following is a file format specification. All ANSVIESNA LM-63-2002 filenames shall end with the file extension es or IES (the file extension is not case-specific); e.g., SAMPLE.IES. Each of the items listed in the format are descri
30、bed in the sections below. Each line marked with a bullet (-) shall begin a new line in the file. Unmarked fields, such as clumens per lamp, may either be placed on the same line as the field before it or may be used to start a new line of data.

33、 Keywords Following 1ESNA:LM-63-2002, and prior to TILT= any number of defined IES keywords may be used (see Annex A and B). Each keyword line shall begin with an appropriate keyword. All files shall contain the following keywords: TEST Test report number TESTLAB Photometric testing laboratory ISSUE
34、DATE MANUFAC Manufacturer of luminaire Date that the manufacturer issued the 1ESNA:LM-63-2002 file All other keywords are optional. In addition to the required keywords, the following are a suggested min- imum: LUMCAT Luminaire catalog number LUMINAIRE Luminaire description LAMPCAT Lamp catalog numb
35、er LAMPI Lamp description (.e., type, wattage, size, etc.) This line indicates whether the lamp output varies as i: fi7ctfji7 f the lminai:e tilt angle, and if so, :he loc- tion of the tilt multiplier information. If the output of the lamp does not vary as a function of the tilt angle, TILT=NONE sha
36、ll appear on this line (skip to Section 5.4). If the output of the lamp does vary as a function of the tilt angle, TILT=INCLUDE or TILT=cilename shall appear on this line. TILT=INCLUDE indicates that the tilt information is included as part of the photometric file. TILT= indicates that the tilt info
37、rmation is in a separate file. The filename shall end with the file extension tlt or TLT (the file extension is not case- specific); e.g., MHlOOV.TLT. The format for tilt infor- mation is the same whether it is in a separate file or included as part of the photometric file and is dis- cussed in Anne
38、x F. NOTE: The phrase TILT= shall be exactly as shown and begin in column 1. This is important since this phrase is used to signiy the end of the keyword information. The first line of any photometric file shall be 1ESNA:LM- 63-2002. This character string distinguishes it from files using other form
39、ats and marks the beginning of the file. 2 ANSMESNA LM-63-02 5.4 enumber of lamps This field shall contain a number indicating the total number of lamps in the luminaire. 5.5 This field shall contain a number indicating the lumens per lamp on which the photometric test is based. In the case of absol
40、ute photometry, where the lumens per lamp are not the basis for the photometric data, enter negative one (-1). NOTE: For most luminaires with more than one lamp, the lamps will all be of the same type with the same lumen output. For those luminaires with two or more lamps with different lumen output
41、, this value shall be treated as the average lumens per lamp. The product: x enumber of lamps shall be the total lumen output by all lamps operating in the luminaire. When creating reports with absolute photometry ( = -I), it is suggested to include the keyword OTHER indicating the can- dela values
42、are absolute and should not be fac- tored for different lamp ratings. 5.6 cmultiplierz This field shall contain a number indicating the multi- plying factor that shall be applied to all candela values in the file. This is often 1 .O, but may be a value other than 1.0. 5.7 enumber of vertical angles
43、This field shall contain a number indicating the total number of vertical angles in the photometric report. Refer to IESNA LM-75-01 for a detailed explanation of goniophotometer types. Luminous Dimensions The following dimensions refer to the luminous (that is, light emitting) opening of the luminai
44、re, not its phys- ical dimensions. They are meant to approximate the luminous opening (either as a luminous area or vol- ume) for lighting calculations. They are not intended for computer-generated renderings of the luminaire. It is assumed that there is only one luminous opening in each IESNA LM-63
45、-2002 data file. The luminous dimensions apply to a luminaire aimed at “photometric zero” (O” horizontal, O” vertical,). “Photometric horizontal” would be (O” horizontal, 90” vertical). “Length” and “Width measurements refer only to their orientation with respect to the zero-degree photomet- ric pla
46、ne; they do not refer to the luminaire dimensions or lamp orientation. In particular, the “length mea- surement may be less than the “width” measurement. 5.1 O This is an integer indicating the type of units used for the luminous dimensions of the luminaire, and shall be the value 1 or 2, according
47、to the following schedule: 1) Luminous dimensions are given in feet 2) Luminous dimensions are given in meters 5.11 This field shall contain a number indicating the dis- tance across the luminous opening when measured perpendicular to the O” photometric plane (perpen- dicular to “photometric horizon
48、tal” - see Figure 1, Tablel and Annex D for additional details). 5.12 5.8 enumber of horizontal angles This field shall contain a number indicating the total number of horizontal angles in the photometric report. 5.9 This is an integer indicating the type of photometry that exists for the luminaire
49、being described, and shall be the value 1, 2, or 3, according to the following schedule: This field shall contain a number indicating the dis- tance across the luminous opening when measured parallel to the O” photometric plane (along “photomet- ric horizontal” - see Figure 1, Table 1 and Annex D for additional details). 5.13 cheighb This field shall contain a number indicating the overall height of the luminous opening, measured parallel to “photometric zero” (see Figure 1, Tablel and Annex D for additional details).
