Control Elements
Menu Bar
As found in other common PC applications, the WaveDesigner includes a menu bar
on top of the program window. Most menu options are accessible through keyboard
shortcuts; these are displayed beside the menu entries. Following options are
present in the WaveDesigner menu bar:
File Menu:
On the file menu, you can start a new project (
New
), open a saved project (
Open
)
and save the current setup (
Save As
). In the project file, all speaker related
information is stored: The position data, output setting, EQ settings and subsystem
settings.
The Import option allows reading back an existing loudspeaker configuration from a
connected Sonic Wave I Processor (
from Processor
) or import a loudspeaker
definition file in the old format from config tool version 1. (
From File
). Please note
that in the old txt-file (typically lsdefinition.txt) no EQ settings are stored. It is only
provided for backward compatibility to the config tool version 1.
Project Files in xml format from WaveDesigner version 2 can be loaded through the
file open dialog. However, only position data and EQ parameters from V2 are
imported (5 band EQ, no shelving filters, no subsystem or output splitting).
Print preview
and
give the possibility to preview and print a loudspeaker setup.
Quit
closes the application. However, a dialog always appears first, asking if you
want to save the current status beforehand.
Edit Menu:
WaveDesigner has full undo and redo capabilities, both are accessible in the Edit
Menu.
The
Reference Point
option allows to reset the Reference Point to the zero point of
the loudspeaker area or to automatically compute a position within the given
speaker setup.
Sort Speakers
opens a dialog that gives the possibility to sort the loudspeakers by
automatically reassigning loudspeaker indices. The sort algorithm can be applied
clockwise or counter clockwise and the first speaker can be defined. All speakers are
given indices in ascending order starting from the position of speaker 1. The
algorithm first calculates the angle of each loudspeaker according to the reference
point and reassigns loudspeaker indices according to the specified options.
