Lambda Research Announces TracePro v7.8

Updated features in TracePro v7.8 include the latest version of the Lighting Toolkit, new Path Sort Filtering, and new settings for all True Color plots. The Lighting Toolkit gives TracePro users a full-featured capability to analyze automotive lighting systems, including headlights/headlamps; tail, warning, and marker lamps; as well as outdoor and indoor luminaires. The Lighting Toolkit provides visualization tools and regulation tables to certify that simulated results meet the requirements of the lighting and automotive standards, and provides pass/fail criteria for ECE, SAE, IESNA and FMVSS regulations.

The new Path Sort Filtering in TracePro v7.8 enhances the existing Path Sort Table and allows users to apply a Boolean filter to specify the exact ray paths they wish to display and analyze. Users can analyze ray paths by building filters, starting from any source or surface and then building an entire path either surface by surface or object by object ending with a target surface.

Additionally, all True Color plots in TracePro now have settings for Brightness, Contrast and Gamma, including Irradiance/Illuminance, 3D Irradiance/Illuminance and Luminance Maps.
