Note that at any point you can click on the
Calculate Mapping [F5]
bar to tell the program to map the
array’s performance. Initially, a pop up screen will ask you to choose the resolution of the simulation.
Low Resolution simulations are much faster to run than High Resolution ones. Al you need to do to
start the simulation is to make your resolution choice by pressing one of the bars.
The simulation shown below was made using Medium Resolution.
Lobe Angle
aims the vertical beam up or down. Try it out by selecting
Lobe Angle [*]
, changing the
number and observing its effect. Note that after entering a new number you will need to press
Enter
to initiate the change. You will also need to do a new
Calculate Mapping
to view the change. The old
map will have been wiped out by the program as you made the change.
Note that you can also check
Focal Point [*]
and then enter the exact location of the beam’s focal
point in
Height from Floor
and
Distance from Front
. Another way to position the beam’s focal point is
to use the mouse cursor to grab the end point of the aiming axis and and move it to the desired loca-
tion. Try it out. It’s easy to do.
The
Center
field section allows you to move the location of the column’s acoustical center up or
down using either the drop down arrow or the associated slider control. Notice that the acoustical
center can be moved at will, but cannot be placed on either the very top transducer or the very bot-
tom one.
