Before continuing, make sure you have completed step 2 in Checking MCACC Data on page 80. The data measured with the Advanced MCACC function is transmitted to the connected computer.1 The 3D graphs of the reverb characteristics before and after calibration and the MCACC results (parameters) can be checked.

1Select ‘Output PC’ from MCACC Data Check menu and press ENTER.

When the receiver is ready for transmission, Start the MCACC application on your PC shows on the GUI screen.

2Start the MCACC application on your computer. Follow the instructions provided with the application. It will take about ten seconds for the transmission to complete, then you will be able to analyze the output on your computer. The various parameters and the reverb characteristics data used for display on the computer are not cleared when the power is turned off. If the reverb

characteristics are re-measured, however, the data is overwritten.2

3When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the MCACC Data Check menu. Continue with other operations in the MCACC Data Check menu if necessary. Press RETURN again to exit the MCACC Data Check menu.

2When ‘Ch’ is highlighted, use / to select the channel.

The calibration value for the frequency response of the selected channel stored at the selected MCACC preset and its graph are displayed.

3Press to highlight ‘MCACC’, then use / to select the MCACC preset you want to check.

Note

1To transmit data, the receiver and computer must be connected using an RS-232C cable and a special application must be installed on the computer. See Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 34 for more on this.

2Only one set of reverb characteristics is stored on the receiver. If you wish to compare several different measurement results, transmit the data to the computer each time reverb measurements are taken.
