Normalize }.|5S+J?[
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. >^\>-U|
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total He_(JXTP
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the q?]@' ^:;
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for '?>O
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a i7!mMO8]
lighting calculation. (l!D=qy
Example 1: System Transmittance AqKx3p6
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. |I^Jn@Mq:
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to )PoI~km
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, z hm!sMlO
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the Jc#)T;#6
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system FC-*?
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply $$;2jX"I
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal "M#`y!__
to the system transmittance. HF=C8ZtlL
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency a4qpnr]0
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating 0N[DV]
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the ~JRuMP
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When 96E7hp !:
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is iF_r'+j
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total D.CsnfJ
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the c:_i)":
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be <7-,`
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency r~!%w(N|M
of the luminaire.
