[Radiance-general] Re: trans dashboard widget

[Chris Humann]

Hi Andy, this is great!  Looking forward to the iPhone app.....

I'm curious how / where you and others are obtaining / calculating the  
input values for Trans, specifically for the transmitted specular  
component?  I've often found this (Tspec) a tough value to get or  
derive at as it's not measured for the LBNL, IDGB data base, nor by  
most glass and film manufactures.

Cheers,
Chris
