LOCATION AND NUMBER OF MEASURING POINTS
In the hemispherical measuring surface, there shall be in principle 12 measuring points (a minimum of 6 points)
with the following coordinates:
x = (x / r) r
y = (y / r) r
z = (z / r) r
The values x/r, y/r, z/r and z are given in the table below :

The radius depends on the dimensions of the sound source.
For example: generator
