Well, I'm not a physician so, maybe my doubt is a little fool. Well, I'm mapping the light emitted by some lamps in some aquariums. For that, I'using a spectrometer named Ocean Optics USB4000 and a software named SpectraSuite. My intention is to discover how much is the total light getting into the aquariums and haw is it distributed in the aquarium. After taking the measurements, i will interpolate the data in the software Voxler from goldensoftware.
Well, my problem is in the beginning of these processes: the data that the spectrometer take is given by counts in each kind of wave, like that:

As you can see, there are even negative counts and I'm not getting really well what is the meaning of these "counts" and how can i convert it to any optic unites.
