To get the luminous flux in the observed area. And therefore, could you give us a rough translation of your x and y axis length parameter into degrees (angle)?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I think under some conditions, the software can label some of its plots in degrees instead of inches.
This one is the spatial distribution curve from a newer Agilent LED, somewhat overdriven as one might do in a flashlight.
It would normally output probably 25-28cd for the central few degrees where one would be most likely to stick a light meter.

Whatever annual inspection is, it sounds bureaucratic and therefore horrible...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
It's invasive and disruptive. A group of Seattle Housing Authority people comes in and inspects your housekeeping. If you fail their inspection, you get a warning letter and 10 days to correct. And if you fail when they come back to re-inspect, you get evicted.
I've failed these things for having a dirty glass in the sink and a wheelchair tire mark on the floor by the door (they record this chickensh!t stuff on the inspection form and put it in your record). A few years ago I failed one because there was a rust stain in the commode. A little Whink took care of that, but it's the principal of the whole thing.
One year, they even summoned their $120 an hour electrician because they thought I had too many wires running behind a desk.
The electrician correctly explained to the inspectors that most of what they were seeing was "small signal wiring" and that "the tenant knows what he's doing" and that the rat's nest of wire was nothing to be concerned about. They never bothered me about that again.
It's not exactly a white glove test, but it seems to come damn close sometimes.
