  1. Click the Localization button on the working screen.

  2. Input the parameters into the parameter input screen on the left side.

    Overview of setting items

    • Creation method
      Measurement-based method or geometry calculation method can be selected.
      If actually measured, measurement-based method should be selected.
      If geometry calculation method is selected, the transfer function is generated in simulations.

    • MicArray File
      Microphone location information file.
      Specify the file generated in section 7.1.7.

    • TSP/IR ListFile
      Specify the TSP response list file (see 7.1.6) or the Impulse response list file (see 7.1.5).

    • Sampling Rate [Hz]
      Sampling frequency of the transfer function.

    • FFT Length [sample]
      The number of bins in the discrete frequency expression of the transfer function.

    • TSP Length [sample]
      Specify the length of one recorded TSP signal, or the impulse response length.

    • Direct Sound Length [sample]
      The number of samples used in generating the transfer function.a

  3. Pushing the Create button on the bottom of the screen generates the localization transfer function file and displays the contents of this file on the right side.

  6. Graphic representation of the Transfer Function
    If you double-click the Plot next to the Transfer Function in the frame on the right side, graph representation setting screen (see Figure 7.12) appears.
    Set the values using Overview of setting items below as a guide. Clicking the bottom-right PLOT button displays the graph.
