Unlikely at the moment, I'm afraid I don't know what is going on in your system or how to reproduce it.

I tried release 5.11 on another Lenovo Thinkpad with Win7 Ultimate but with x64.
5.11 runs fine on that one, so I am also lost....

Might it improve with the next Java release :foottap:

Thank you for trying ! ...and hoping you will consider my Zoom-ideas :bigsmile:

REW is a shining example of attention to useability - did you previously work at Apple?!.

In the previous version, graph colors don't seem to be saved, so I have to re-color them every time i re-open and want to make plots. Did I miss something?

Thanks - there is a lot to improve, but I try and keep useability high on the priority list.

There is an option on the View preferences labelled "Save trace colour with measurement", if you select that subsequent saves of files will keep track of which measurement used which colour.

Thanks. i looked there but not close enough!

I cannot run 5.11 as a normal user.

Double clicking the shortcut I see the splash screen flash by.
If I try to run it from the command prompt using the java etc command I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/install4j/api/launcher/StartupNotification$Listener

Running as administrator in the normal user context works.

I am downgrading to beta 24: I cannot find the release candidate

You can get the V5.1 Windows installer here.

I just installed and ran 5.11 as a normal (no admin privileges) user in a local account, all behaved normally.

How right to move start IR (t=0)?

When I try to add offset, automatic adds Windows Ref Time in "IR Windows".
I have to reset every time this value.

 

[JohnM]

The window automatically moves to follow the IR, which is what is required for most circumstances. Why do you want the window to remain where it was?

 

[rsergio]

I want to manually set the start of the window as i needed (for example, at the beginning of the impulse). In LspLAB and ARTA it is done one click of a mouse. In REW is to do a little more complicated.

 

[JohnM]

Adjusting the window positions is best done with the window controls. REW has a left and a right window. The window ref time is the end of the left window and the start of the right window, it is placed at the peak of the IR for new measurements. The left and right window controls set the width of those windows.

Adjusting the IR start time is typically done to get the correct phase result to allow for time of flight and measurement path delays. One way to apply some automation to that is to use the "Estimate IR Delay" control, which cross-correlates the response against a minimum phase version to estimate the time delay contribution.

Microphone calibration files are not taken into account when calculating THD?

 

[JohnM]

The THD measurements use the ratio of the harmonics to the fundamental, cal files are not used for either.

 

[rsergio]

To measure THD need to use the mic does not require calibration file?

Great release! I love the private JRE, as I had Java installed solely for REW prior to this version. I was able to uninstall my global Java, so now no more security worries about Java in web browsers. Good stuff.

One thing I did notice, not with REW itself, but with the latest PDF help file, is that the bookmarks seem to have gone missing, so the tree view in the left pane of the Adobe Reader that one would normally use for quick navigation through the document is now empty.

 

[MarkusBonk]

I just installed and ran 5.11 as a normal (no admin privileges) user in a local account, all behaved normally.

I have managed to get REW to run as a normal user. I had to edit the roomeqwizard.vmoptions and adjust the maximum memory usage to 768 MB (-Xmx768m) at least I assume that is what the option does; 1024 MB (-Xmx1024m) does not work. Why it runs as administrator without the adjustment I do not know.

I also have one machine (my new, intended to be main one!) that also will not run, does the same split second splash screen, then its gone.
Computer is a Win 7 64b, i5-4690, 8Gb RAM machine. Have loaded it on a older Core 2 processor Win 7 64b, and a i7 Win 7 64b laptop... they all happily run it.

I've tried installing as administrator, and not, removing Java and installing the latest v7, and then upgrading back to v8 (which I had been running first with REW 5.10) no joy. Running as admin or not seems to have no effect for me. Tried to edit the mem control file/line tonight, but it said I didn't have access to the file, (?) have to try that later.

I'm looking for any option I might be missing... am I misunderstanding what fixed it for Marcus?

Thanks...

In my case the fix was editing the roomeqwizard.vmoptions to limit the memory. The file needs to be edited with administrator rights (or copied to where the local user has access, edited and then copied back again - for the last bit administrator rights are again needed)

Markus

 

[JonP]

OK, so it's lowering, not expanding the memory usage? Did you have an unusually low amount of memory in that machine? I have 8GB in the one I'm having the problem on, less on the older system that works... so it would seem that available memory shouldn't be an issue. But, in your case, at least changing it seems to do something. Strange...

 

[JonP]

Wow... Just tried editing roomeqwizard.vmoptions to -Xmx768m... and it runs now! Yes, tried -1024 first and it did not fix the problem. Have to actually try this version out later, it's late now. But I'm very happy to see it finally running on this one!!

Wonder what kind of wierd memory allocation bug this is... or if that's what's even going on here. Am massively overjoyed that 5.11 can now run on my new machine, but wondering if this limits memory enough to hamper REW? Maybe there are other multiples of mem size that might also work?

Overall....

John... let me know if there's any debug info I could provide you with from this setup... more than happy to help.
