Normalize J HV
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. !89hO4 0r
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total fzAkUvo
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the N P5K1:
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for )J2UNIgN
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a r=p^~tuyxr
lighting calculation. /b/ 6*&
Example 1: System Transmittance J,s:CBCGL
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. B]mMwqM#
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to : #so"O
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, P
m&^rC;
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the w'7J`n:{]
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system m9]Ge]
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply 2L51H(
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal 4vkqe6
to the system transmittance. DJqJ6 z:'
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency QIJ/'72
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating L"0?g(<
5
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the 4r86@^c*
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When g_?Q3
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is c `.BN(
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total 9E4^hkD&
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the \'|t>|zhp
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be g1]bI$;
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency 2 OqEyXh
of the luminaire.
