Apply "Swinging Door" Algorithm to Irradiance Time Series

[crazydata]

How to face a data processig to apply "swinging door algorithm" to a irradiance time

Homework Statement

I would like to obtain the relevant (irradiance change, time increment) pairs from a irradiance time serie that I have in Excel and Origin. One way to do that is making "swinging door" algortithm. I can do it by a slowly way and I would like to know if is there a easier one to do that

Homework Equations

The "swinging door" algorithm is described by Bristol, 1990

The Attempt at a Solution

I have started drawing the necessary lines on my data set, but I wonder if I can use some software to do that faster. Or if is there some other way to get these (irradiance change, time increment) pairs. Have I to do a programme, in MATLAB for example? (I don´t know a lot about matlab)
