The tabs
The “Professional Setup” window contains 8 tabs. The tabs 1 to 6 (“Devices” to “Allocation“) are arranged from left to right in the most logical order for a live setup:
Devices
- Sets Sennheiser devices and custom devices and edits the device settings
- Saves devices including their channel names as configurations (“Save preset...”)
- Scans the frequency range defined by the selected stationary receivers for signals (frequency scan) and detects used frequencies or interfering signals from extraneous sources (spectrum analysis)
Frequencies/Bands
- Sets prioritization levels for frequencies and frequencies bands to be taken into account in the frequency coordination (Priority: “Low”, “Medium”, “High”)
- Marks frequencies and frequencies bands as unusable or being interfered with so that they can be excluded from the frequency coordination
System regions
- Defines system regions for devices that are spatially and temporally separated in order to avoid the calculation of intermodulation products
- Limits certain devices or device groups to a frequency range
Spare groups
- Determines spare frequency groups for the most important transmission links
- Requests a certain number of spare frequencies from the coordination while ensuring an efficient use of the frequency spectrum
Coordination
- Calculates intermodulation-free frequencies with different prioritization levels and optimally coordinates all frequency requirements
Allocation
- Allocates frequencies to channels
Markers
- Sets colored markers and labels them with names in order to mark different positions in the frequency spectrum
Log messages
- Displays information, warnings and errors
