at a freely definable reference point on one of the audience
areas.
For alignment of the flown system with the ground stacked bass
array, the phase response of both the bass array and a selectable
flown array is calculated at a definable reference point. Both
simulations reflect changes in delay time to the single arrays in
real time, greatly obviating the need for time consuming acoustic
measurements to that end.
The level distribution resulting from the interaction of all active
arrays can be mapped onto the previously defined audience
areas in a three-dimensional view which can also be zoomed,
rotated and exported as a graphics file. Up to four diffferent
configurations and their mappings can be temporarily stored for
comparison.
A comprehensive rigging plot with all necessary coordinates,
dimensions and weights is automatically generated for export
and printing, as well as a parts list detailing all the loudspeakers
and rigging components required.
Using the R1 export function, a project file for the R1 remote
control software is generated containing the amplifiers (devices)
and all groups and control elements to operate the system
simulated in ArrayCalc. At the same time it saves the respective
amplifier settings in an R1 control settings file for later retrieval.
This workflow sequence removes the need to manually transfer
configuration information from one software to the other.
Further information and useful guidelines are provided in the
