Getting Started

The Options in the Help menu are a good place to start to ensure that the design process is tailored to how you would like to
work for a given project. Clicking on the icon in the help menu brings up this window, the options selected are the defaults for
all new Display 2.1 installations;-
General The General section allows you to select metric or imperial measurements.
Equal scale refers to the x and y scales for the 2D slice drawing required of the venue. For a venue with say a very long x axis and
very little height, it may be easier to depict the layout with unequal scales.
SPL View The SPL View allows selection of the Decibel per division on the optimisation of either 5 or 10.
Show extreme will display the response at the extremes of the audience coverage regions.
"Num Aud Plots" dictates the number of Audience plots to show if the Multi-plot option has been enabled.
Slice The Slice option allows you to turn off the display of the coordinate number for each node on the drawing. This might
be useful for a very complex drawing where the numbers would clutter the view but for the vast majority of projects this should
be left on.
Splay Auto Use Splay will instantly apply to optimised angles to the array model. With this disabled you can review the array
shape before applying the angles to the project. In most cases this can be left enabled.
EQ Tool The EQ tool can be selected to display the percentage achievement that the optimisation has produced related to the
goals that you have set. With this disabled it will display raw figures for equalisation.
Auto use EEQ acts in the same way as the auto function for optimised splay angles, it will instantly apply them to the project as
soon as the optimisation is complete. If you wish to review the optimisation before applying the filters you can leave this disabled
and an additional 'Apply' button will appear when the optimisation is complete.
Export The Export option ensures that the exported filename matches the array name making it easier to identify which
optimisation corresponds to a given Display optimisation when uploading to the system via Vu-Net.
