The new d&b ArrayCalcV6.7 software available in March 2012 will contain the d&b R1 Remote control software's export function. This function removes the original copy and pasting process of the amplifier settings from the simulation software ArrayCalc to the R1 Remote control software.
It automatically generates a workspace in an R1 project file as well as exporting the amplifier settings to an R1 control settings file. This workflow sequence replaces the manual process entirely. From virtual optimization in the ArrayCalc simulation software to the rapid verification of the simulated settings and the fine adjustment in real life on site, using this d&b software offers an effective workflow for the user from their mobile workplace: the laptop, says the company.
The service workflow has also been streamlined so that the d&b R10 Service software from V2 onwards automatically and on demand searches for the latest available amplifier firmware versions and Remote software updates on the d&b server via the internet and downloads them. This removes the need to manually look for any updates on the website.
Finally, though the E-PAC amplifier was discontinued in 2007, it is still being supported with a new firmware update V4.17.
