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. All 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.
Beam Angle
aims the vertical beam up or down. Try it out by selecting
Beam 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 [ft]
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 move it to the desired location. 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 or bottom transducer.
The SPL levels in the graphs will change as the setup parameters change.
