Normalize KQw>6)
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. R>;&4Sjr
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total g4 +Hq *
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the V U5</si+
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for J}#2Wy^{
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a #

Example 1: System Transmittance =]pEvj9o
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. &o1k_!25
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to d'3"A"9R7-
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, Acd@BL*
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the e+VE FWz
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system p1HbD`ST
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply m@w469&<(q
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal qcQq.cS_'N
to the system transmittance. ];b+f@
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency $MfRw
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating KMQPA>w#
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the T-/3
A%v
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When u!F\`Gfm_
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is bz~aj}"`
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total lB_X mI1t
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the e-\/1N84
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be $%

redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency @M'qi=s*
of the luminaire.
