Normalize JTKS5r7?
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources.
=`3r'c
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total a fa\6]m
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the PaaMh[OmG
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for D`p2a eI
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a ww{k_'RRJ
lighting calculation. LA6XTgcu
Example 1: System Transmittance 4mDHAR%D
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. g$uiwqNA%
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to Q#% LIkeq
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, ec!e
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the ]Ozz"4Z
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system %$&eC
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply K6->{!8]k
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal C1;uAw?\
to the system transmittance. u.2X"
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency k M/:n
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating NOTG|\{
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the D9g*+KM&
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When u0wu\
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is /R B%m8@;
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total /(~
HHN nh
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the %g7j7$c
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be K>'4^W5d,
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency

of the luminaire.
