One completed the window reverts to the coverage diagram showing the articulated array with
the white lines from the centre of the upper and lower cabinets again showing where the acoustic
centres are pointing:

CALCULATION

The Calculation section shows the physical orientation of the overall array. From here the number
of boxes is defined and can be changed if for any reason the initial array size was incorrect. You
have the option to change the number of cabinets. You can however only change the number to
a quantity that is appropriate to the deployment method selected so a maximum of 6 for ground
stacked MLA or MLA Compact, 8 for ground stacked MLA Mini 12 for MLA Mini flown with MSX.
The height to the top of the array and distance from the origin is also shown and can be edited
to match the physical deployment of the system, very useful if for example it wasn't possible to
fly the array exactly where you planned, perhaps the points couldn't be placed as high as you
wanted.
The tilt of the entire array is shown and will be automatically generated as part of the optimisation
process. It is also possible to overwrite this if necessary to match the actual tilt of the array,
given the resolution of most chain hoists it is frequently difficult to exactly match a given tilt
angle even with front and back motors.
The number of enclosures can also be edited at this stage. Perhaps a cabinet has been damaged
