Using solar irradiation data provided straight from a pyranometer as measured

Hi, I have been given sunlight irradiation data measured from a pyranometer and provided on an "as-is" basis.  This would have been measured under a number of weather conditions.  I like to use the pyranometer measurements in place of standardised weather files on SAM.  Should I treat it as the equivalent of GNI, GHI, or something else?

Since the pyranometer  measured the sunlight conditions continuously over an one-year period under a variety of conditions, I suspect the sun irradiation values provided wouldn't exactly be the same as any of the standard measurement defined.  If you could advise whether I should seek clarification from the provider, or I could treat it under GHI, GNI, or even DHI or DNI, or something else entirely that will be great.

(In addition, the format of the output file is different from the standard weather file that SAM accepts, but the format issue is relatively minor and I think I know how to get around this.  It is the what the irradiation values represent that is posing the biggest issues for me)

Thanks.
