Method to create

This section explains how to create a new training field. Please push the Edit button and open the Edit window first.

* When the Edit window opens, if there is unsaved training field, the question window Field data is not saved. will open. If you want to save it, please push Cancel button and save it. If you want to withdraw it without saving, please push OK button.

This figure shows the question window saying Field data is not saved. It has OK and Cancel buttons.

* If there is no objects in the Object list on the Edit window, the draft training field has no objects. If there is some objects, please push the New button to delete them.

This figure shows the Edit window where the draft training field has no objects. The Object list is empty.
  1. Add object.

    Please select a kind of object to be added from the Kind list. There is four kinds of objects; Sound, Wall, Road and Mark.

    • Sound

      Object to generate sound. This kind of object can make various sounds. They also can move in constant velocity.

    • Wall

      Object to reflect and insulate sounds.

    • Road

      Object to be used for designing the training field. This kind of object do not influence on the sound propagation.

    • Mark

      Object to be used for designing the training field. This kind of object do not influence on the sound propagation.

    Explanation here is supposed that Sound is selected. Please push the Add button after you selected Sound in the Kind list. Some strings will appear on the empty Object list, Property list and the Property value list.

    This figure shows pushing Add button after Sound was selected in the Kind list. Then some strings appear on the Object list, Property list and the Property value list.

    Sound01 appeared in the Object list is the newly added object. The Property list shows the properties of Sound. The Property value list contains the default values of each properties.

  2. Set property value.

    Sound, Wall, Road and Mark has the following properties.

    Sound

    • Name

      Name of this Object

    • Device, Card and Phrase

      Properties to assign a kind of Sound. Device is a serial number of the Sound, and it is assigned automatically when the Sound is added. For use of Card and Phrase, please refer to Sound data management.

    • Position (X, Y, Z)

      (Initial) position of the Sound. To set the coordinates (X, Y, Z), please refer to Coordinates of training field.

    • Velocity (X, Y, Z)

      Velocity vector of the Sound. If it is zero vector, the Sound is still. Otherwise, the Sound moves. To set the components (X, Y, Z), please refer to Coordinates of training field.

    • Start, Stop and Repeat

      Properties concerning reproduction of Sound. Start is always 0. Stop is duration of Sound in s. If Repeat is on, when the Sound reproduction is finished, it will return to the starting point (its position will also return to the initial position). Otherwise, Sound will finish and disappear after reproduced once.

    This figure shows the properties of the Sound (Position and Velocity vector) schematically.

    Wall

    • Name

      Name of this Object

    • Position (X, Y)

      Center position of the Wall. To set the coordinates (X, Y), please refer to Coordinates of training field.

    • Width

      Width of the Wall in m.

    • Direction

      Direction of the Wall. Whether the facing direction of the Wall surface is south-north or east-west is assigned by S or N, W or E.

    This figure shows the properties of the Wall (Position, Width and Direction) schematically.

    Road

    • Name

      Name of this Object

    • Position 1, 2 (X, Y)

      Positions of both endpoints of center line of the Road.To set the coordinates (X, Y), please refer to Coordinates of training field.

    • Width

      Width of the Road in m.

    This figure shows the properties of the Road (Position 1, 2 and Width) schematically.

    Mark

    This figure shows the properties of the Mark (Position) schematically.

    Here, the method to set the Property Position X of the Object Sound01 is explained as an example. Please click the Property value 0.0 of the Property Position X in the Property value list. The Property value 0.0 of the Property Position X will be selected, and the Property value 0.0 will also appear in the Property value edit textbox.

    This figure shows that the Property value 0.0 of the Property Position X is selected, and the value 0.0 also appears in the Property value edit textbox.

    Let's change the value of the Property value edit textbox. Here the values is replaced with 20 as an example. Please input 20 from keyboard. The value of the Property value edit textbox will be overwritten and will change from 0.0 to 20. After this, please push the Property value edit complete button. The Property value of Position X in the Property value list will change to 20.0.

    This figure shows that the Property value 0.0 in the Property value edit textbox is changed from 0.0 to 20, the Property value edit complete button is pushed, and the Property value of Position X in the Property value list changes to 20.0.

  3. Complete edit.

    Please push the OK button. The Edit window will close. The draft training field will be overwritten on the training field, and new creation of training field is completed.

    This figure shows pushing the OK button.

    * When the OK button is pushed, if re-calibration is recommended in advance to the next run, the message window that recommends re-calibration will open. Please push OK button to close the message window. As the recommendation, please re-calibrate before the next run.

    This figure shows the message window recommending re-calibration.

    Please make sure that the training field that you created is displayed on the monitor correctly. In this example, the Sound Sound01 is located at 20 m south from the origin.

    This figure shows that the Sound named Sound01 is located at 20 m south from the origin as a result of edit.

(Appendix) Coordinates of training field

In the coordinates of the training field, the head center position of the Trainee in the training field at the calibration is an origin, the axis toward south (upper direction on the monitor) is a X-axis, the axis toward east (left direction on the monitor) is a Y-axis, and the axis toward upper (rising direction from the monitor) is a Z-axis.

Values of X, Y and Z are expressed in m for position, and in m/s for velocity vector.

* The coordinates value Z is measured from the head height of the Trainee in the training field. Please note that Z is not a height from the ground. Z = 0 means that it is the same height as the head, and not as the ground.

* The Property that has only X and Y (cannot be set Z value) is the Property that can be set only the horizontal position of south-north and east-west (the height cannot be set).

* The scale of the grid on the training field monitor is 5 m/div

This figure shows the coordinates of the training field on the monitor. X-axis is upper direction from the origin, Y-axis is left, and Z-axis is rising. The scale is 5 m/div.
