Utilities for TracePro
TracePro utilities assist in quickly and accurately creating and optimizing properties. Inputs include data from physical measurements, manufacturers' data and industry standards. The following utilities are available for download to all current maintenance and support subscribers. Surface Source Property Utility
The Surface Source Property Utility helps users set up the TracePro surface source property - quickly and accurately. The tool reads the spectrum and angular radiation pattern directly from the manufacturer's data sheet. While useful for LEDs, this tool can also be used to generate a surface source property for any type of light source. The utility is for use with all TracePro editions and requires the most recent release of TracePro 5.0 or 6.0.

Fluorescence Property Utility for White LED Design
The Fluorescence Property Utility helps users optimize down converting phosphor formulations and excitation LEDs selection in white LED design. It also facilitate the creation of the fluorescence material property in the TracePro model. The macro tool reads both the excitation, absorption and emission luminescence spectra of the material and the relative spectral power distribution of the excitation LED from the manufacturers' data. While useful for white LED design, this tool can also be used to generate a fluorescence property for any type of energy converting material. The utility requires the most recent release of TracePro Expert 5.0 or 6.0.

IES Import Utility
TracePro's IES Import Utility helps users import photometric data in ANSI/IESNA standard electronic file formats to TracePro Surface Source and File Source Properties. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) publishes "IESNA Standard File Format for the Electronic Transfer of Photometric Data and Related Information." The most recent publication, LM-63-02, was ANSI approved September 12, 2002 and is available at www.techstreet.com . The TracePro IES Import Utility adheres to this most recently published standard.
The utility is for use with all TracePro editions and requires the most recent release of TracePro 5.0 or 6.0.

Textured RepTile Optimization Utility
The Textured RepTile Optimization Utility helps users optimize structured Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) backlight components including Brightness Enhancement Films (BEFs), Turning Films, and extraction features in light guides. With a TracePro model of the LCD, the utility generates and optimizes a Textured RepTile property for uniformity or flux. While useful for optimizing structured backlight components, this tool can also be used to optimize any Textured RepTile in TracePro.
The utility requires the most recent release of TracePro Expert 5.0 or 6.0.
