Normalize H|N,nkhH}
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. ]gb?3a}A
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total }5gQ dj[Y
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the 9(9\kQj{C
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for dqL)q 3

Example 1: System Transmittance ;#2yF34gv
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. 5,V3_p:)VI
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to |P=-m-W
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, vP&JL~
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the ^X?3e1om
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system s4\_%je<v
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply
cCy*?P@
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal .ktyA+r8v
to the system transmittance. [tz}H&
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency [)p>pA2GZj
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating &FzZpH
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the NHzhGg]
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When (^Hpe5h&
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is xCiq;FFR
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total U{.y X7
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the $]]|#}J
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be .37Jrh0Iv
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency B}p{$g!
of the luminaire.
