6.8 Find Me (Trilateration)
Trilateration provides users with the ability to “map” a venue in 3D utilizing only two
Anya arrays, a computer running both Resolution and Smaart, and a measurement
microphone. To utilize this feature, the following is needed:
 Two Anya arrays (i.e. stage-left and stage-right). At least one array must have two or
more modules. The relative locations of the arrays (height and width) relative to one
another must be known.
 A computer running both Resolution 2 and Smaart 7.2 or later (within one operating
system; this cannot be split across multiple OSs via virtualization).
 An audio interface and measurement microphone. At least one transfer function
must be configured in Smaart (a two-channel measurement).
 A stimulus (noise) source, either in Smaart or external, fed to both the Anya system
and the reference channel in Smaart.
 A reasonable working knowledge of Smaart 7 and measurement best practices.
Initial Setup
To configure Smaart to work with Resolution, several configuration steps are necessary:
 Under the “Options” menu, select “General…”. Ensure that under “API”, “Enabled”
is checked, and that the Port is set to 26000.
 Under the “Delay” tab (also under the “Options” dialog), select an FFT size that
results in a time constant that is significantly longer than the longest time-of-flight
from the array to the microphone. For more help in selecting an appropriate FFT
size, consult the Smaart 7 Help File.
 For most applications, a 32k FFT with 3 averages will be sufficient with 44.1 kHz or 48
kHz sampling rates. This corresponds to a flight-time of approximately 700-800 feet.
 Go online and assign all Anya arrays.
Step 1
Open the Find Me dialog, which can be found in the Tools menu. The following dialog
box will be displayed:
