The shape of the spectral curve indicates that the camera/ CCD responce curve has been calculated and the spectra corrected. Knowing the spectral "shape" of a reference star, you can also correct the curve to match the Planck temperature curve. This is pretty well covered in VSpec's #5 tutorial which you should download. There are 10 tutorials in all.
Hope this helps.
