You can export Preset Configuration using following methods:

• Export Slot Map: To save the flash files of the slot map in the selected path.
• Export Set Files: To save all the set files of the map in the selected path.
• Export All Files: To save all the set files of the map along with the flash file in the selected path.

Right-click or click on “Export Options” to select the type of export.

To export a slot map set files all files should contain at least one valid slot, otherwise the options Export Slot Map, Export Set Files, Export All Files, and Export Slot will be disabled.

Exporting human readable flash file: The exported flash file is useful in the event any slot got accidentally deleted. You can reconfigured Preset Controller values using the slot map table details mentioned the exported flash file.

Once you have configured all parameters of the Preset Controllers , it is recommended that you export the flash file.

Steps to export human readable flash file:

1. Open Preset Controller, add and configure the slots.
2. Click on the Configure and enable or disable “Ramp Setting”.
   
3. Click on Export Slot Map or Export All Files, browse the desire location, enter the file name, and click Save.
   
   This action creates two files, one human-readable CSV file and another flash file at the specified path.
   The name of the CSV file is determined by the name of the flash file, which is the original file.
   Example: The flash file name in the example below is Map.flash, so the readable CSV created file name is Map.flashr.
   
4. Open the CSV file to see the slot details.
   In the below image, the Ramp Setting details for “1: Core 0” column is “0:0 Disabled 1:0 Enabled 1:1 Enabled”, which is “Core Id : Instance ID : State” .
   
   The below image explains the “Ramp Setting” configuration for “0:0 Enabled 0:1 Enabled 0:1 Disabled” in the GTT.
   Similarly, all ramp settings detail will be exported in this format.
   

The Preset Controller allows you to configure a “Custom Action” option. Choosing this option opens a dedicated configuration window where you can define custom actions, as shown in the below image.

In Preset controller, there is an option to configure what actions have to be performed when a slot is loaded.  Currently this feature supports the following actions.

• Custom xTP command
• Custom xTP command (External)
• Set master control pin
• Set Audio object processing state
• Set control pin refresh.

These custom actions can be configured at different stages of slot load.  There are 4 stage that can be configured as listed below.

1. Before slot load
2. After fade out but before preset load
3. After preset load but before fade in
4. After slot load

Steps to configure custom actions:

1. On the Custom action configuration window, click Add to add an action that you can configure.
2. Once the action is added, select the “Stage” from the drop-down options.
   
3. Similarly, select the “Action” from the drop-down actions.
   
4. Click on Configure to configure the Action.
   

The data configuration option depend on the type of “Action” you choose from the drop-down. Below are the configurations for each supported action type.

Custom xTP command		This action sends an xTP message of your choice into the device (as if it received it from GTT). The commands which go to the core may send a response to the network after processing.  These responses may not cause a GTT update depending on the command.  The same limitation applies to read commands, for example reading a control value won’t cause GTT to update the value in the explorer. You can select a xTP command from the drop-down. If the command is not available (perhaps in that case you are using a custom command), you can enter command Id in the text box.  Then you can enter the command data in the box provided. This window lets you enter data in hexadecimal format. As you enter the data, the count at the bottom keeps track of the characters, helping you ensure the correct length. To prevent mistakes, the system checks if the data is valid when you click “OK.” For your reference, the window also shows the current slot, stage, and specific action you are configuring. The system automatically generates a clear description to help you understand the configured custom action.
Custom xTP command (External)		This sends a command from the system to the extrenal device or any connected tool from the context of the xTP Interpreter. You can select a xTP command from the drop-down. If the command is not available, you can enter command Id in the text box.  Then you can enter the command data in the box provided. This window lets you enter data in hexadecimal format. As you enter the data, the count at the bottom keeps track of the characters, helping you ensure the correct length. To prevent mistakes, the system checks if the data is valid when you click “OK.” For your reference, the window also shows the current slot, stage, and specific action you are configuring. The system automatically generates a clear description to help you understand the configured custom action.
Set master control pin		This is equivalent to sending the control and value from GTT or from any other xTP source. This window appears when you choose “Set master control pin” as the action in the main custom action configuration window. It will list the control pins configured in the signal flow.  You can select a control pin and enter value for the control pin. Click “Ok” to save the configuration.The system automatically generates a clear description to help you understand the configured custom action.
Set Audio object processing state (beta)		Sets the selected audio object to the chosen state. This window appears when you choose “Set audio object processing state” as the action in the main custom action configuration window. This window will show where you can configure the processing state of the audio object. Once the values are selected, Click “Ok” to save the processing state information. The system automatically generates a clear description to help you understand the configured custom action.
Set control pin refresh		Select the action -> Set control pin refresh in the action dropdown. When the slot is loaded, select the control pin that needs to be refreshed. This data will be sent to device as part of slot map. When the slot with this data is loaded, the configured custom action will be executed on the set control pin.

Once all the slots are configured with set of actions, the custom action window will appear as per below image.  You can override the default descriptions yourself after you configure the action.

The custom action data configured will be saved only when “Save and close” button is clicked in main custom action window.

The “Core Object Settings” window is used to control core object transitions and target states.  Any core object can be added here optionally, but instances with active set groups for the slot are automatically added.

You can specify which processing state the core object should transition to during the slot load, and if that transition should involve ramping or an instant change.
Core Object Settings includes following processing states:

• Normal Processing state
• Bypass without processing
• Mute with processing
• Mute without processing

You can change Ramping state for each instance in a core using drop down option. There are three type of ramping state you can configure.

• Ramping
• No Ramping
• Swoosh Mode

By default, Ramping is enabled for all instances if not configured.

No Ramping
– There is no rampdown to mute phase before applying preset data (but calc is momentarily disabled during the actual load to protect data).
– There is no ramping between processing state changes.

Swoosh Mode: This mode describes as a seamless preset application, which means in this case no fade-out, mute and fade-in steps are performed. The preset(s) are loaded onto the core objects while calc is running, with a request to tune XTP to attempt ramping.

This mode should be used very carefully, as not all audio objects support ramping during runtime tuning, and not all tunings are guaranteed to be applied without artifacts (audible and/or measurable).

The swoosh mode is stored in the slot map on a per core object basis, meaning that in general the user could apply one preset to an xAF instance in a swooshed manner and another in the normal fade out, mute, fade in manner. This only makes sense if the core objects are running independently, otherwise it could interfere with the swoosh effect in an unexpected and unwanted way.  Note: It is possible to select processing states in swoosh mode, but they will not be applied.

Things to know about Ramp state configuration window and how objects transitions will function.

• The ramp time used is configured in the slot, it overrides default core object ramp times.
• Automatically added core objects (instances with active set groups) cannot be deleted from the list.
  
• You can also manually add and remove other core instances and objects.
  

 If performing control set custom actions or other non preset object tuning – you may end up with multiple ramps (once from core object and once from AO tuning) multiplying against each other.
– When loading a preset though – the tuning method is called with ramping disabled so the object should not ramp.

• Ramp Setting for instances, which load presets function differently than ramp settings for core object switches or instances which do not load presets.
  • With Ramping on:
    • Core objects and Instances which do not load will use only one ramp if possible.
      1. example: going from normal to mute we do not need to ramp back up after the mute.
      2. example: going from normal to bypass we have to ramp down to mute and then up to bypass.
    • Instances that load presets will always go to mute for loading the preset and then transition to whatever proper state after.
  • With Ramping off:
    • During the ‘muted’ phase which occurs after any rampdowns are finished (if there are indeed rampdowns in the slot) all non-ramping core objects (whether loading presets or not) will instantly switch state to the target state.

Instances which load presets are disabled during the load even if they are unmuted.

The user interface will remain unchanged for Ramp state configuration for audio library versions (S+2).

Steps to connect a Device.

1. Navigate to the IVP RTA tab and select Advanced from the ribbon bar. This opens the RTA Settings dialogue box.
2. On the RTA Settings dialogue box, select the Plugins tab, and click on the folder icon to browse the xAF library path.
3. Set the port number under the Port box.
4. Enable the Bypass option (optional), if you prefer the input to be passed directly to the next plugin or output without undergoing any processing.
5. Click on Apply. The number of inputs, number of outputs, and plugin type will be automatically updated based on the provided signal flow. Similarly, you can set remaining plugins.
   Click on Reset (optional), to set back all the values in a specific row to their default values. Now you can configure the analyzer settings like the plugging host, Sound Card Settings, Generator Settings. For more information, refer to RTA Settings.
6. Switch to Device Designer tab and click on Connect Device to connect to device.
   
7. On successful connection with device the Device synchronization dialogue box will appear.

On the Device Synchronization dialogue box, you will get the below option.

• Send: Sends tuning data or control data from GTT to target device.
• Receive: Receives tuning data or control data from target device to GTT.
• Not_Sync: No exchange of tuning data between target device and GTT.

The Device Synchronization dialogue box also includes two check boxes.

• Include state data while receive.
  • If this option is checked and “Receive” operation is selected – The state data will be received from target device along with tuning data to GTT.
  • If this option is not checked and receive operation is selected – Only tuning data will be received from target device to GTT.
  • Checkbox value will be persist per device in GTT.
• Include control data while send and receive.
  • If this option is checked and “Receive” operation is selected – The control data will be received from target device along with tuning data to GTT.
  • If this option is not checked and “Receive” operation is selected – Only tuning data will be received from target device to GTT.
  • If this option is checked and “Send” operation is selected – Control data will be sent from GTT along with tuning data to target device.
  • If this option is not checked and “Send” operation is selected – Only tuning data will be sent from GTT to target device.
  • Checkbox value will be persist per device in GTT.

The selected data is stored and can be transferred using a .gttd file format for export and import purposes.

Switching off “Include state data while receive” during receive operation might impact synchronization of some audio object panels.

Sending or receiving data is indicated by a progress window along with a percentage of completion of sending or receiving data. The progress bar will close automatically once the send / receive process is completed.

The progress bar window title will be either “Sending data” or “Receiving data” depending on the functionality you have selected.

You can also perform “Send” and “Receive” operation from ribbon bar. To achieve this, the device should already be in a connected state. Following are the options provided as part of context menu.

• Send Tuning Data: Send tuning data will only send tuning data from GTT to target device.
• Receive Tuning Data: Receive tuning data will only receive tuning data from target device to GTT.
• Receive State Data: Receive state data will only receive state data from target device to GTT.
  

If EOC object is present in the signal flow, Progress window will not show the real progress.

In case there is issue with data transfer between device and GTT. a warning message appears asking you to abort or ignore the operation. You can check the device setup and retry the operation.

While sending the data from GTT to connected device, if there is a data transfer issue between the device and the GTT.  A warning will appear asking whether to abort the operation or ignore the error and continue.
You can troubleshoot the issue by verifying your device configuration and then retry the operation.

While sending the data from GTT to connected device, if there is a version mismatch between GTT and the connected device. A warning message will appears asking whether to continue or abort the operation.

Removing Device Instance

1. Select device and click on Delete. A warning message will be displayed.
2. Click OK to remove the device instance from the project.

Removing a device instance carries significant consequences, including the deletion of all associated data such as tuning and signal flows.

The Tools group allows you to monitor all services running on GTT, view the event and xTP logs, and perform the sound card configuration.

Service Monitor

Global Tuning Tool provides a comprehensive set of tools for monitoring the following services:

• SQL Server Service
• Measurement Service
• Harman Audio Library 32
• Harman Audio Library 64
• AI Module

The choice of tool depends on the type of monitoring or tuning to be done and the events to be monitored.

Event Log Viewer

The Event Log window tab shows events that have occurred within the Global Tuning Tool and on connected devices. The log may be utilized by individual devices to perform certain operations. You can also use the logs for troubleshooting.

The Event Log Indicator will notify you in real-time as events occur.

xTP Log Viewer

Any error on the device is displayed in GTT in the XTP viewer and Event log.

The xTP-Viewer has two sections:

• Left side section: Display message flow view and show raw data of several messages.
• Right side section: Detailed view of a selected message on the right side (is empty, if message interpretation is not implemented up to now for the specific message).

Sound Card Configuration

The Sound Card Setting allows you to configure the host API (audio driver), device, sample rate, block length, and the master output for the audio processing. Based on device selection, input and output channels are available for configuration.
Using “Master Output” you can set master and device output modes for speaker configuration in the Measurement Module.
The configured sound card configuration is used throughout the RTA and Measurement Acquisition features.

Before you start the Measurement wizard or set the “Sound In” and “Sound Out” devices in the RTA, make sure you have configured sound card settings like Host API (Driver Protocol), Device, Sample Rate, and Block length of the sound card.

On the “Streams” section list of available channels for input and outputs is displayed. Those can be route to any physical sound card channels. All devices are available as two-channel devices. The stream area displayed the Channel column, indicating the mapping of Sound In or Sound Out devices to specific channel pairs.

In the example above the mapping is configured as follows:

• SoundIn1, SoundIn2: Analog (1 + 2)
• SoundIn3, SoundIn4: Analog (3 + 4)
• SoundIn5, SoundIn6: Analog (5 + 6)
• SoundOut1, SoundOut2: Analog (1 + 2)

GTT supports two host API “MME” and “ASIO”.

• MME: This is the standard windows audio driver. It allows operation of multiple audio devices at the same time. Sample rates are handled by the operating system. Can be set to any sample rate. If the sample rate of the physical audio device is different, then OS takes care of the sample rate conversion. This mode is recommended if multiple devices are running at the same time, e.g. measuring with an USB microphone while playing back generator signals with an internal sound card. For MME, it’s required to select input and output devices separately, and all selected input and output devices support a maximum of 2 channels.

 It is recommended to keep the block length at the maximum value of 4096 and the sample rate at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

•  ASIO: This driver is used with multi-channel sound cards. It enables low latencies and ensures that all input and output channels are in sync. Depending on the latency requirements of the audio signal processing provided by a loaded plugin (future feature) the block length can be reduced down to 64 samples. The RTA sample rate setting has to be equal to the audio device driver sample rate. It’s not required to select separate input and output devices for ASIO.

It is recommended to use an ASIO sound card instead of Windows drivers. When using Windows drivers, it is advised to use a block length greater than 1024 in order to avoid the noise distortion effect, which is a known limitation of the Windows driver (as observed even in audio mulch).

The setting for sample rate does not change the actual setting in the sound card driver. The alignment of the sample rate setting has to be ensured by the user.

During sound card configuration, channel streams should be automatically assigned with available input and output devices if the user has not already assigned any sound input or output devices to RTA Channel streams.

If the user attempts to unassign all sound card channels, a toast message should be displayed with message like “You have unassigned all sound card channels. This will disable the internal IVP processing, because no lock master available. Please assign at least one channel pair to re-enable the processing”.

Supported sample rate

Supported block length

If there are any modifications to the Sample Rate, Block Length, or Host API, it is necessary to reconnect the device Sound card settings impact in RTA

Microphone Setup

The Microphone Setup allows the calibration of microphones and assigns a mic compensation file for each microphone. The configured values will be applied across the GTT wherever microphones are involved, such as in the RTA and measurement modules.  This view can be accessed from the “Microphone Setup” button in the “Design” ribbon tab.

Every microphone element (1 or 6 microphone array) must be calibrated separately. The central element of the calibration menu is the list of microphones contained in the current microphone element. The list has the following columns:

• Microphone: The number of the microphone within the element.
• Sound-In: The stream channel number is configured with the physical channel of the sound card in the Sound Card Setup view. Duplicate channel assignments to microphones are indicated in orange.
• Previous value: Offset measured during the previous calibration, displayed as comparison.
• Current value: The offset measured during this calibration.
• Compensation File: This is the File provided by the mic manufacturer, which will be used for magnitude curve correction. The current supported is a .txt file. The supported file format is attached here M4261-Microphone-4881.
  

The type of the microphone element and the currently selected microphone within the element are indicated using an icon (green rectangle).
The soundcard and the selected microphone is displayed (yellow rectangle).
The reference sound pressure level of the calibrator can be selected in the upper right (red rectangle).

Multiple microphone carriers can be added or removed (purple rectangle). The currently selected/configurable microphone carrier is highlighted in blue.

To calibrate a microphone:

1. Choose the Microphone carrier and select the microphone you want to calibrate.
2. Assign the channel number. Auto-completion will assist in assigning available incremented channels.
3. Attach the microphone to the designated channel on the calibration device. This will connect the calibrator to the microphone itself.
4. Select the appropriate reference sound pressure level (SPL) for your calibration.
5. Click on the Calibrate. The calibration process should take approximately 2 seconds.
   While calibration is running, observe the level meter (indicated as a black rectangle) for activity on the chosen input channel.
   The calibration will result in an offset value (displayed in red in the “current value” column).
6. Click on Apply to accept the value (which will turn the value green) or repeat the calibration process if the value is not satisfactory.
7. Click Apply confirms the calibration value, turns it green, and automatically selects the next microphone that needs calibration (if applicable).

Repeat the procedure for all microphones in the array.

Import:  An existing calibration and compensation file path can be imported using the “Import” option. This sets the current value for all microphones to the stored offsets. The values must be applied. Settings will be imported to the selected microphone carrier.

Individual microphones can be re-calibrated at any time. Once all calibration offsets are applied, the menu can be closed using “Ok”.

Export: A full set of applied calibrations along with the compensation file path can be exported to disk using “Export”. Settings will be exported from the selected microphone carrier.  Exported JSON files will have the Channel Number, Offset, and mic compensation file of the calibrated microphones.

When configuring multiple microphone carriers, you can easily switch between them, and any changes you have previously configured will be automatically applied.

For any changes in the mic row, the user must click Apply to save the changes before clicking OK.

Using the Compare Presets feature to compare preset values between two columns.

By default, the Compare Presets feature is inactive. When you select two preset columns, it becomes active.

Steps to compare preset values:

1. On the Parameter Sets tab, select first preset column, then press “Ctrl” and select the another preset column.
   This will make the Compare Presets feature active and other features such as the New, Duplicate, Default Values, Retrieve, Apply Delta, Apply, Verify, Save, Load, Delete, and Presets column Context menu will become inactive.
   Additionally, when two preset columns are selected, the Next, Previous, and Clear Comparison option will also be inactive; they will only become active if there is a mismatch values available in the selected preset columns.
   
2. Click on Compare Presets to compare the values in the selected preset columns. All the mismatched cell will be highlighted in the selected preset columns and the Previous, Next, Clear Comparison options will be in active state.
   Use Previous and Next option check the mismatch value for the particular row.
   

On comparing both the selected preset columns, if no mismatch found, GTT will display “Both Presets are identical” message.

Presets Comparison will not be persisted when switching to the ‘AO Visualization’ view, but it will be persisted in the ‘Checksum Visualization’ view.

If you attempt to select the third preset column, GTT will prompt a message that “2 presets have been selected already.”

Next: Use this option to navigate to the next mismatch value. When you click on Next, GTT will take you to next mismatch row. If you reach to the last mismatch row and the you click Next; GTT will take you to the first mismatch row.

Previous: Use this option to navigate to the previous mismatch value. If you are on the first mismatch row, and then you click Previous; GTT will take you to the last mismatch row.

Clear Comparison: Use this option to clear all the highlights from mismatch cell background.

When you unselect the presets columns, all Preset Comparison options will be in inactive state.

The File Controller allows you to send audio files from GTT to device. The file controller suports .wav and .pcm formats audio files.

Following are the options available in file controller.

• Select Workspace
• Add Files
• Delete File
• Replace File
• Send to Device
• Verify Checksum
• Export Options

The file controller feature is available from W release onwards.

Select Workspace

The Select Workspace option allows you to browse and select workspace or root folder from the local directory. Once the folder is selected you can add the respective audio files.

Also, you can also copy & paste the path of your workspace folder in the “Workspace” field.

Add Files

Once workspace folder is selected, click on the “Add” to launch file browser. You can navigate to the respective folder and add audio files (.pcm/.wav) in file controller from the workspace folder.

The file browser will open the workspace folder by default.

After adding the files, following details of the files will be displayed in file controller.

• File ID:  This ID is generated from GTT, it’s range from 1 to 254.
• File Name: If the file name is exceeding length of 15 characters (including file extension), GTT will trim it to 15 characters.
• Path: Relative path of file, based on workspace folder selected.
• Size: Size of the file in KB. If the file size is less than 1KB, the size will be displayed in bytes.
• Checksum: Checksum calculated using file content.

In case if you add any file from non-workspace folder, following prompt will appear.

• Copy: To create a duplicate copy of the file within your workspace folder.
• Move: To relocate the selected file to your workspace folder, removing it from their original location.
• Cancel: To stop the ongoing operation.

This facilitates the sharing of project files and files added to the file controller by ensuring that all files added to the file controller are present in the workspace folder.

The number of files added will be displayed in File Controller.

Maximum 254 files can be added in file controller.

Once after adding files to file controller, on relaunching file controller if any file not found to load, the error is indicated by showing “0 Bytes” size and invalid checksum as below,

Delete Files

The file controller offers two ways to manage your files:

• Click “Delete All” to remove all files at once.
• Use the “Delete” button for each file to remove them individually.

The delete operation will delete file entry from file controller, not the file from file system.

Replace File

You can replace file in the file controller. Click on the “Replace” button, this will open the file browser, allowing you to select the new file you wish to use.
Also, allows you to reuse file id for different file easily.

Send to Device

The “Send to Device” allows to send the loaded files in file controller to the device.
While sending files to device, file map will be sent to device first. File map contains metadata about the files being sent.
If it fails to send file map, the audio files will not be transferred to device.

Verify Checksum

The “Verify Checksum” feature helps ensure you’re working with the correct files. The Verify Checksum option uses the file content checksum to confirm that a file with the same file ID is present on the device.

Use the “Verify All” button to check all files at once or the individual “Verify” button in each row for specific files.

	Indication of default state “Not Verified”.
	Indication, when the file is found in device with same file id. Also, on successfully file send to device.
	Indication, when the file is not found in device with same file id.

Export Options

To export files from file controller, following options are available.

• Export File Map
• Export Audio Files
• Export All Files

These options will be displayed on clicking “Export Options” button.

Upon selecting any of these options, a folder browser will open allowing you to select the destination folder.

Export File Map: This option is to export filemap file and human readable filemap.

Export Audio Files: This option is to export audio files added in file controller.

Export All Files: This option is to export all files including filemap and human readable filemap.

Export & Import File Controller Data

The selected workspace and metadata of loaded files in file controller can be exported through project file (.gttd). This metadata includes file id, name and relative path of file. After importing the gttd file with file controller data, if the workspace folder is not found, files will be displayed with “0 bytes” Size and invalid checksum as shown below.

You can select workspace folder with same sub folder structure to automatically reload files loaded in file controller. The files should be present in same hierarchy and name.

Steps to send preset data online:

1. Connect to the device.
2. Click on Send To Device under the DSP Commands section. The Preset Configuration, Slot Map, and Presets are sent in sequence.

The default slot is the slot number loaded at boot. By default, it is set to “255:None”. You can specify the default loaded slot.

When loading the standard slot, the framework does not apply ramps

Once a preset has been flashed, it will not be flashed again, i.e. each preset configured in the slot map will only be sent once.

If any of these commands fail to be sent, the next command will not be sent, and an error message will be displayed.

When the preset data has been successfully sent, a completion message is displayed to indicate that the transmission was successful. If an error occurs, an error message is displayed.

The option menu allows you to configure various settings in GTT, such as the general settings, project settings, custom panel grid settings, and event log settings.

General Settings

In the general settings dialogue box, you have the option to customize measurement settings, venue menu settings, explorer settings, and system conversion settings.

Measurement Settings	Measurement Session Raw Data Folder: Specify a desired location where you would like to store the raw data for the measurement session. Predefined Stimulus Signals Folder: Specify a desired location where you would like to store the predefined stimulus signals.
Venu View Settings	– Show Warnings: If enabled, all device alerts will be displayed in the venue.  – Show Incompatible HiQnet App Warning: If enabled, a warning dialog will appear upon startup if another HiQnet application is already running.  – Load Previous File On Startup: If checked the venue file that was last used or saved will be automatically loaded upon startup. If unchecked the venue file needs to be loaded manually (default)
Explorer Settings	If enabled a drop-down arrow appears next to discovered devices in the venue explorer. When the arrow is clicked, the complete device information is displayed.
Address Settings	– Display Addresses in Hex. If checked, the displays device and object addresses in hexadecimal. If unchecked, the displays the device and object addresses in decimal.  – Display Object Addresses as Octals. If checked, the displays the object addresses in three period-separated values. If unchecked, the displays object addresses as a single value.
System Conversions	This option makes all instances of parametric EQ displayed either as bandwidth in Octaves or as bandwidth as Q at the user’s discretion. Switching from one option to the other will be on a global basis for the entire application.
Advanced	– Increase Window Handle Limit to Maximum: This option allows you to set the handle limit to it s maximum value (checking the checkbox), this will increase the maximum number of controls/planes allowed by the operating system. By default, this option is unchecked. If GTT exhausts its handle resources and is unable to launch a panel, it will notify you of the issue and prompt you to close any unused panels in order to free up resources.  – Select wiring controls in real-time when using lasso selecting: When using the lasso to select objects, having this box checked allows the selection of wiring contThis option makes all instances of parametric EQ displayed either as bandwidth in Octaves or as bandwidth as Q at the user’s discretion. Switching from one option to the other will be on a global basis for the entire application.rols.  – Error Reporting: This option enables GTT to send important error information automatically to Harman. On the Harman Crash Reporting Disclaimer dialogue box, check the “Send important error information automatically to Harman” option. This feature will send application and computer information to the Harman GTT team in the event of an application crash. Uncheck the checkbox if you do not want any information sent.

Project Settings

Project	In the project settings, you have the option to designate a folder where you would like to store the project file. If you want to exclude Measurement Session data from the project export, uncheck the “Include Measurement Sessions in Project Export” options.
Decimal Separator for Exported files	You can select between a dot or comma to specify the separator of any quantity for the files you export in GTT. Currently, this option is only supported for traces exported in .txt and .txtrclist in the RTA module.

Make sure to configure the project settings prior to initiating the export process.

Custom Panel Designer Settings

In GTT, you can modify the settings for the custom control panel design view, such as the grid, snap lines, and control transparency configuration.

However, it is important to note that once you make changes to these settings, you must close any open custom control panel designer and reopen it for the changes to take effect.

Grid Layout

The design grid allows you to arrange controls relative to specific marks on the design view of the Custom Panel. Show Grid: If checked, it will display the design grid. This feature is overridden with the “Snap Lines” feature below. Snap to Grid: If checked, it will snap design objects to the design grid (if selected). Grid Size: It is the distance between grid lines (in pixels); x = horizontal, y = vertical

Advanced

Enable Control Transparency Control transparency gives the controls on Custom Panels transparent backgrounds. While this option makes the control panel designer more attractive, it may slow the computer system performance significantly to process all the graphics. If you are having problems with the graphics building too slowly on the screen, uncheck the box “Enable Control Transparency.” While they will show up as overlapped on the Custom Panel designer, they will show up as transparent on the Custom Panel if the background is transparent (defined in Control Properties).
