Normalize |R Qa.^.
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. ^F"eHUg
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total N jA\*M9
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the GsWf$/iC:
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for `? f sU
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a $)O\i^T
lighting calculation. DV bY
Example 1: System Transmittance P6ugbq[x#e
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. |SsmVW$B|
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to ) nn v{hN
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, kL}*,8s{
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the >3ASr M+>w
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system Ef6LBNWY.
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply Fo|

button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal Su`]

to the system transmittance. Luh*+l-nO
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency QtqE&j
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating nqujT8
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the < d hBO
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When ^t)alN Gos
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is I#t# %!InH
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total htqC~B{1E
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the )Rw O2H
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be P?U}@U ~9
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency fL R.2vJ
of the luminaire.
