Normalize El2e~l9
Normalize the map data to the total emitted flux from all sources. my FAKRc
This option allows you to have the flux and irradiance normalized to the total _D7 ]-3uC!
emitted flux. When this box is checked, TracePro divides the values in the gN6r p(?y
irradiance map and the total flux by the emitted flux. This is especially useful for 6i@\5}m=
calculating system transmittance for an optical system, or lighting efficiency for a !c#]?b%
lighting calculation. zy'D!db`Z
Example 1: System Transmittance Sh OX<Fb&
Suppose you need to calculate the system transmittance of an optical system. _banp0ywS
You would probably use the grid raytrace option, and the emitted flux is equal to DPn=n9n2
the sum of the flux in all the emitted rays. When you display an irradiance map, 25y6a| `
the system transmittance is equal to the total flux, displayed at the bottom of the e 8\;t"D
irradiance map window, divided by the emitted flux. To get the system 2;3f =$3
transmittance, check the Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply

button. The map will be redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal " Dcs] )7Q
to the system transmittance. E6B!+s!]
Example 2: Lighting Efficiency F/c$v
Suppose you need to calculate the lighting efficiency of a luminaire in illuminating +UN <Zp7I/
a plane. You would probably choose the Surface Source raytrace option, and the 0IkM
emitted flux is equal to the flux you specified when you defined the sources. When 0C%W&;r0
you display an irradiance map, the total flux incident on the observation plane is ef! XV7 P
displayed at the bottom of the window. The lighting efficiency is equal to the total 0U/,aHvhP
flux divided by the emitted flux. To get the lighting efficiency directly, check the KW^<,qt5w
Normalize to emitted flux box and press the Apply button. The map will be BP[|n L
redisplayed, and the Normalized Flux value will be equal to the lighting efficiency revF;l6->C
of the luminaire.
