The Sound Power Solution is meant to work in combination with its associated Analyzer software NVGATE®. In this way, the full power of the NVGATE® platform and associated multi channel INSTRUMENT HARDWARE is made fully available for your one clear objective: measuring Sound Power.

This "INSTALLATION GUIDE" will guide you through the installation of the Sound Power software and help you run it for the first time. It will explain in particular the way the installation should be done in parallel to NVGATE® and to the Instrument Hardware.

First Check

Recommended PC configuration

See PC Requirement page.

Equipment required for the installation

  • A NVGate dongle that is OROS Sound Power authorized.

If NVGate is installed on the same PC:

  • Choose "Local" and indicate the path for "NVGate.exe". By default, it is: "C:\OROS\Programs\NVGate\NVGate.exe".

If you are using NVGate from another PC:

  • Choose "Remote" and indicate the IP address of this second PC.

If later you want to change the Sound Power configuration:

  • Launch SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power".

At this stage:

Plug in the Dongle to use Sound Power in Office Mode

Plug in the Hardware to use Sound Power in the Connected Mode.

And then, run "Sound Power".

The following window is displayed:

SP start.png

You can create a new setup by choosing the Standard, the Surface type and the Number of positions of your experiment or you can load a setup that is already created.

Click on "OK".

If NVGate has not been started previously, the following window is first displayed:

SP operator manager.png

Choose to start as operator or manager using a password.

Notice: The access level for the first user has to be "full".

Then, the following window is displayed:

SP NVGate connection window.png

Choose to start Sound Power in "Connection to hardware" or in "Office mode".

Updating the Software version

Uninstall the previous version of Sound Power installed on the PC. Then Start the installation of the new version.
Please follow the procedure described above.

Troubleshooting

Sound Power may not start. In this case, one of the following error messages is returned:


« File Sound Power.ini not found ! »

Run the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power")

« File Sound Power.ini not valid ! »

Run the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power")

« Couldn't start NVGate ! »

  • Check the path of "NVGate.exe" in the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power")

« Connection to NVGate has failed ! »

1. If the NVGate location is = Local:

  • Check that NVGate is running. If not, escape from Sound Power and run it again.
  • Check that NVGate can start on its side.

2. If NVGate location is = Remote:

  • Check that NVGate is running on the remote PC.
  • Check that the IP address of the remote PC is correct in the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power").

« You don't have the permission to use OROS Sound Power ! »

  • Ensure that you are using a dongle that is configured for Sound Power
  • Contact your OROS Agent

« Sound Power project not found ! »

  • Check the path of "NVGATE.EXE" in the Sound Power configuration program (Launch "SoundPowerConfig.exe" from "C:\OROS\Programs\Sound Power") and validate (press "OK) in Local. If you are operating Sound Power in a Remote location, copy the "Sound Power" directory from the folder of installation of Sound Power into the default base.
