The OpenStudio Radiance measure does just what you see there. For each glare sensor in your model, you get all of the view vectors (i.e. the directions the glare sensors are facing), and then for each one of those vectors, you get all 8,760 hourly values for DGP-simplified and the calculated vertical eye illuminance (keys are named "dgp" and "raw" in the data file, respectively).
In hindsight, we should probably include the x,y,z sensor location coordinates in addition to the view vectors; would be helpful for plotting results...

You could read this data file and summarize or do other types of analyses using any number of tools, e.g. Ruby, R, Python/Pandas, WhatHaveYou...)
In hindsight, we should probably include the x,y,z sensor location coordinates in addition to the view vectors; would be helpful for plotting results...the results spatially.
