Loading Steering Data - Tannoy QFLEX User Manual

8.14 LOADING STEERING DATA

Steering Files are generated in the BeamEngine software package (See Using BeamEngine)
The steering properties of the loudspeaker may be adjusted by loading a 'Beam Engine File' (*.bef) in the Setup tab in
the main control panel. When the 'Open File' button is clicked, a dialogue will allow you to load a new .bef file. If there is
more than one loudspeaker 'box' in the column, each .bef file produced by the beam design software will be for a given
box. The box number will usually be appended to the name of the file. The number of each box is shown to the right of
the device name in the Monicon. It is very important that each file is loaded to the appropriate box.
Note that when steering data is loaded into a loudspeaker, the data has to be stored internally, which takes a finite
time. To avoid loss of steering data, do not remove the power from a loudspeaker for at least ten seconds after loading
steering data. The same applies if you are loading a .dse Settings file which has steering data embedded into it.
