WinPCD has several embedded Help Files (pdf) for quick access and detailed info/instructions for special functions. These can be reviewed here for convenience. There may be some additional details provided here not found in the program help files.
| Reference Angles | One function that may not be in other design software is a method to estimate and remove the built-in off-axis impact that is inherent in measurement files. Any measurements taken off-axis, then imported for design already have some amount of off-axis change. When the "Reference Angles" option is is selected and the reference angles set, this off-axis is estimated and removed from those files so that subsequent off-axis influence doesn't include the measured off-axis influence. |
| Target Selection | Targets are set in one of three ways, depending on what type of target is desired. This describes what the options are and how they are set. |
| Polar Mic Positioning | The response at off-axis (polar) points can be manually selected, but can't be entered directly. This describes how to enable and change the polar sample point for an individual point response. |
| Polar Nodes | WinPCD v6 has a new section for vertical off-axis (polar) response curve display. This describes its capabilities and how it works. |
