6 Configuration Setup

The configuration setup is an aggregate of different information which relates to a measurement

such as:

• File information;

• Software version;

• Start time-stamp;

• Comment;

• Etc.

• Input setup;

• Microphone calibration;

• Phase mismatch compensation;

• Microphone spacer;

• Etc.

This information is recorded with the measurement file, dictates how the data is interpreted and

provides useful information to the user when post-processing the files.

6.1 Measure Setup (next) vs File Setup (current)

The I-Track software is used for both the acquisition and the post-processing of sound maps.

Therefore, separate configuration setups are used, the first applies to the next measurement and

the other applies to the current data, either a loaded file or a recently performed measurement.

The Measure Setup (next) allows defining parameters that will be used for the upcoming

measurements, such as the microphone calibration to use for the next measurement whereas the

File Setup (current) incudes parameters that were used for the measurement of a particular file or

recently performed measurement.

6.2 Setup Interface

The Setup Interface allows the user to define or view the parameters included in the configuration

setup. This interface is accessible in the “Setup” menu. Select “Measure Setup” to modify the next

measurement configuration or “File Setup” to modify the current file configuration.

6.2.1 Info

This Interface shows information on the measurement such as the hardware used to perform the

measurement, the measurement date and time, user comment, etc.
