1.4 Introduction to the User Interface
The Smaart 6 interface is designed to put the most frequently used functions for most
sound system optimization applications within a single mouse-click. Almost everything
in the main program window functions as a control. The readout fields for the primary
measurement and display parameters are drop-lists that display available options when
clicked upon. Clicking on the signal generator or SPL readout opens their setup dialogs,
and the delay control pops up a dialog for entering an exact delay time when clicked.
Clicking and dragging with your mouse on any plot zooms its x- and y-axes on the area
selected. Each graph can be assigned any data type with a single button click. Even the
input level meters perform dual functions, bringing the corresponding signal trace
(measurement or reference) to the top of the RTA display when clicked.
To the right of the plot area in the main real-time program window are two groups of
display controls for the two primary measurement types: Spectrum and Frequency Re-
sponse. Clicking the Spectrum or Freq. Resp. buttons invoke a split window display
with the associated chart types for each: Spectrograph and RTA (Spectrum), Phase and
Magnitude (Frequency Response). Clicking the small arrowhead buttons on the right of
the Spectrum or Freq. Resp. buttons open their tab of the Options dialog. Main display
options for each are grouped together with their shortcut buttons.
The rest of this section introduces Smaart 6’s user interface. See Chapter 5: Smaart 6
Commands for detailed descriptions of menus and settings.
