Once all the references have been calibrated, the Beacon Configuration program automatically enters tracking mode, which displays the listener’s position (represented by a red dot) with respect to the beacons. Use the listener device as a virtual mouse in free space to draw various objects, such as polylines, circles, and rectangles. The drawing interface is based on a “pen up” and “pen down” model, which behaves much like an old-fashioned plotter. This drawing program can be used to capture the general shapes and positions of various objects (e.g., furniture) in the environment by outlining the objects with the listener. If the listener can be set steadily for a length of time during the outlining process, one can produce an amazingly accurate capture of the environment. Due to the sliding window distance-filtering algorithm, there is a lag in tracking the listener’s position. Depending on the beacon range, the level of contention, the noise in the distance readings, and various other factors, this lag may increase up to the size of the sliding window, which has a default value of 4 sec.
Electrical schematic and wiring diagrams
Published in Adrian Waygood, An Introduction to Electrical Science, 2013
For casual users who need to print diagrams up to A3 size, regular ink-jet printers are more than adequate, but for professional users who may want to produce high-quality diagrams larger than A3, specialist plotters are necessary. A plotter is, essentially, a very large printer which usually uses a pen, pencil or other writing tool to draw line diagrams on to paper. For casual users who occasionally need to produce diagrams beyond A3 size, most high-street print shops offer the use of professional plotters.

The fourth category of printers is the plotter. A plotter uses a series of pens to create large-scale architectural and technical prints, as well as other line drawings. The output can range from plans for a sailboat to a new piece of machinery.

TRNSYS Type240 can be implemented in TRNSYS models for evaluating PTCs' behaviour, such as the one displayed in Figure 5. In the modelling of Figure 5, additional components were added from the TRNSYS standard library: ‘Data reader for generic data files’ (Type9c-2) for reading input file data, a weather data reader and processor (Type 109-TMY2), ‘Online plotter’ (Type65d) for displaying graphical results and ‘Printer’ (Type25c) for exporting results to a file.
