MAPPViewer

this is a firefox addon to display and compare the prediction images of MAPPonlinePro by Meyer Sound Laboratories
it also helps editing loudspeakers in the XML-files saved by this application

 current: V0.61 as of oct 2011
download (12kb, xpi-file) works as well in Seamonkey from V2 on

quick overview

  • download and install the xpi-file (needs restart of browser)
  • in MAPPonline do some predictions and manually save each to the same folder on your disk using "Tools / Project Report"
  • in Firefox open the viewer from Tools/Mappviewer or by typing chrome://mapp/content into the adress line (and bookmark this)
  • in MAPPviewer click "choose dir" and browse to the folder on your harddisk you justed saved the reports in
  • select the type of images to be listed (SoundField, ImpResp, ...)

some more details

When saving a project report MAPPonline saves all the prediction images and a html report. This viewer just lists all image files in a directory (separated by some filename similarities) and lets you compare them by just one click. Moreover it pulls some information from the html report. It might be useful to give your project reports meaningful names to ease picking the right one in the list.

  • SoundField / SpetrResp / FreqResp / ImpResp
    load images of that type only
  • AllImg
    load all *.jpg, *.gif and *.png images - maybe useful for all kinds of other purposes
  • between these buttons and the prediction image there is another button: "info"
    if all goes well it shows the center frequency and bandwidth of the prediction currently shown, pressing it opens a popup showing even more information

XML editor

The XML editor loads all the loudspeakers from a scenario file into a grid and lets you edit their parameters all at once. You can add or delete speakers as well. Vastly speeds up working with sub arrays, right? It does not work for loudspeaker arrays, as they are editable easily in MAPP anyway.
Although there is only a "save as" button you can overwrite an existing file. Be sure to always reload the file either in MAPP or in the XML editor when you edited something!
