Normalize eyy{z;D8r
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. 7OG=LF*V-
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total MbC7`Sp&i
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the u{yENZ^P
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for
cHs@1R/-s
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a L"A,7@:Vd
lighting calculation. NduvfA4
Example 1: System Transmittance Wo2TU!
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. aErms-~
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to kMAQHpDD
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, e3UGYwQ
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the m+||t
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system uOc:^
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply A1zM$
wDU
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal }(z[
rZ
to the system transmittance. VG^*?62
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency t6BggO"_u
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating
'{p/F
$
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the #ok1qT9_
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When M5s>;q)
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is Uc%(#I]Mi
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total >
$DMVtE0
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the \:-#,( .V
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be l7]:b8
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency n]?Yv E
of the luminaire.
