There are three methods to define the K1 correction factor (Manual, File or Measurement). Click on the method you want know more about.
There are three methods to define the K1 correction factor (Manual, File or Measurement).  
 
 
======K1 manual determination======
The manual method allows you to enter the K1 value for each frequency between <nowiki>[</nowiki>20 Hz; 20 KHz<nowiki>]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[</nowiki>20 Hz; 10 KHz<nowiki>]</nowiki> according to the frequency range you have selected.
 
The Standard requirements are for user information (given by the selected standard).

Double click on the '''K1 values''' setting, the following window is displayed:

'''K1 file determination'''
 
The file method allows you to load the K1 value from a saved setup.
 
The Standard requirements are for user information (given by the selected standard).

Double click on the '''Correction mode''' setting, the following window is displayed:
 
[[Image:Sp_corrections_05.png|framed|none]]
 
'''Average correction mode:''' source average in relation to the background noise average.
 
'''Position by position correction mode:''' each source position in relation to its background noise equivalent.
 
======K1 measurement determination======
The measurement method allows you to measure the K1 value.
 
The Standard requirements are for user information (given by the selected standard).
 
[[Image:Sp_corrections_06.png|framed|none]]
 
 
You have two possibilities to do the Measurement:
 
'''One position for all:''' determines the K1 only for one position then the value is assigned to all positions (select the position number).
 
'''All positions:''' determines the K1 for each position.
 
Double click on the '''Correction mode''' setting, the following window is displayed:
 
[[Image:Sp_corrections_07.png|framed|none]]
 
'''Average correction mode:''' source average in relation to the background noise average.
 
'''Position by position correction mode:''' each source position in relation to its background noise equivalent.

=====K2 correction=====
This type of correction is about the measurement environment.
This type of correction is about the measurement environment.


There are five methods to define the K2 correction factor (Approached method, File, Manual, Reference source or RT 60). Click on the method you want know more about.
There are five methods to define the K2 correction factor (Approached method, File, Manual, Reference source or RT 60).  
 
The File and Manual methods are explained in the K1 topic.
 
 
 
======K2 Approached method determination======
This type of method is mainly used for the room tests.
 
The Standard requirements are for user information (given by the selected standard).
 
[[Image:Sp_corrections_08.png|framed|none]]
 
Enter the values of the '''mean absorption coefficient''' of the room (depends on the type of material constituting the room) and the '''room surface''' by double clicking on the settings.
 
======K2 Reference source determination======
The reference source method allows you to load the K2 value from a file.
 
The Standard requirements are for user information (given by the selected standard).
 
&nbsp;
[[Image:Sp_corrections_09.png|framed|none]]
 
&nbsp;This method means that the sound power of the source with K2=0 was previously measured and saved in a file (get the file by double clicking on '''Ref srce Lw measured with K2=0''').
 
'''Ref srce Lw method''' (Manual or File): select the reference source measurement method in the measurement environment.
 
======K2 RT 60 determination======
This type of method is mainly used for the room tests with known RT60 values.
 
The Standard requirements are for user information (given by the selected standard).
 
[[Image:Sp_corrections_10.png|framed|none]]
 
Enter the values of the '''RT60''' of the room and the '''room volume''' by double clicking on the settings.


The File and Manual methods are explained in the [file://mk:@MSITStore:C:\OROS%20PROGS\SoundPower\Getting%20started%20with%20Sound%20Power.chm::/K1_correction.htm K1 correction] topic.
