Normalize 4u 5-7[TZ
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. g~A`N=r;h
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total K}MK<2vU
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the By Nn
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for T <ET

Example 1: System Transmittance =mp;.k95
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. wyO4Y
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to $6i X
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, aH/

the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the s{\8om '-
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system

transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply S2GxV/E
button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal F%D.zvKN
to the system transmittance. ]* [ 2$
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency R3&Iu=g
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating { go; C}
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the GM f

emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When l B vR+9Qw
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is MJ
