.Mp
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. iqnJ~g
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total P;PQeXKw
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the {brMqE>P#
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for 0J.dG/I%
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a x\2?ym@
lighting calculation. `si#aU
Example 1: System Transmittance =66Nw(E.
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. Vtppuu$
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to gn5)SP 8
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, 4/X/>Y1
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the Nr2 C@FU:0
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system :V)lbn\
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply E{HY!L[
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal \,!QJp4
to the system transmittance. mVtXcP4b
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency M8k"je7`s
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating ]*O/+
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the ,wKe
fpV;5
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When I2(zxq&2M\
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is |}){}or
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total JO14KY*%
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the m~Ld~I"
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be QrApxiw
