Once all measurements have been taken, you will be presented with this
screen. (figure 4.20).

Measurement name: click this field, and then name the recently taken
measurement set. You can measure several speaker sets or various
listening conditions (see paragraph 4.6.1 - Examples of measurement
locations in various room types), and give different names to each of
them. This feature is very useful because you will be able to instantly
recall different measurement sets in the ARC 2 Plug-In to match the
needed monitoring requirements.
Speaker icon: after naming your measurement set (and before pressing
the FINISH button), you can choose your preferred speaker icon. This is
just a mnemonic aid to easily recall and associate your speakers with
a particular measurement set. It does not affect the sound in any way.
