All rights reserved. Rational Acoustics and Smaart are registered trademarks of Rational Acoustics LLC. Check out our YouTube videos here! my.RationalAcoustics.com If you purchased a new license or upgrade of Smaart v.7 online, you should have received an email with a link to download the Smaart v.7 installers. You can also access the latest installers at any time by logging into your user account at http://my.RationalAcoustics.com. If you received an installation CD-ROM when you purchased Smaart v.7, we still recommend visiting the web site to download the latest installer rather than installing from the CD-ROM. Installers will not appear in your licensing account until your license is registered. If you previously purchased and registered Smaart v6 through EAW ( v6 licenses purchased prior to April 2010), you will already have an account at http://my.RationalAcoustics.com, since all my.EAW.com accounts have been transferred to our site. Smaart v6 account names were almost always the email address used when purchasing the product. If you already have an account, but have forgotten your password, the web site can e-mail your account information to the email address associated with your account. You can also contact Rational Acoustics for assistance. License management accounts at my.RationalAcoustics.com are not synchronized with Rational Store accounts. You must have a license management account to register your license. 2 | P age Copyright © 2013 Rational Acoustics LLC. All rights reserved. Rational Acoustics and Smaart are registered trademarks of Rational Acoustics LLC. Check out our YouTube videos here! Registering a License After purchasing Smaart v.7, the first thing you should do is register the license code to an account at my.RationalAcoustics.com . License registration can be done either from within your account or through the registration dialog in the installer. If you don't have an account, you can create one from within the activation wizard -or- open your web browser, navigate to my.RationalAcoustics.com, and click on the link that reads "Click here to create a new account". Once logged in, click the link to "Register a new Smaart License" and enter your license code when prompted. The license code must be entered exactly as it appears on your package, with dashes and full capitalization. Once a license has been registered you can simply click on it in the list of licenses on the "Your Software License" section of your account to manage your installations. Installing Smaart v7 The Smaart installers work like any other installer for Windows and Mac operating systems. The same installers can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Software Installation on Windows® Initial installation of Smaart v.7 on the Windows operating system is done using a setup program that operates very much like virtually any other software installation program for Microsoft Windows. Note that on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems, administrator authority is required to perform the installation. If the login account you are installing under is not an administrator account, you will be required to supply administrator credentials during installation. Other than that, you only need to read and agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) confirm selection of the folder where the program will be installed, and choose whether or not to have the installer program create a shortcut for Smaart on your desktop. Software Installation on Mac OS X® Smaart v.7 for Mac OS X is supplied in the form of a Mac application bundle, so installation is simply a matter of dragging the Smaart v.7 icon into your Applications folder. Note that Smaart v.7 is distributed in a disk image file that requires you to agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) before you can access to the software packed inside. Installing Smaart v.7 signifies your acceptance of the terms of this license. Once you have read and agreed to the EULA you can drag the Smaart v.7 icon in your applications folder, and then if you like, drag it from your applications folder to your dock to create a shortcut to the program. 3 | Page Copyright © 2013 Rational Acoustics LLC.

Activating an Installation When you run Smaart for the first time, an activation screen will appear (see below). You will need to activate your installation before you can use the software. Before you can Activate! There are four basic requirements for activating a Smaart v.7 installation: • You must have a valid Smaart v.7 license code (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX). • Your license code must be registered to an account at my.RationalAcoustics.com -or- you must be prepared to register it through the activation dialog. • You must have one or more installation spots available on your license. • You must have internet access on or near the computer you are trying to activate.

Your unique machine ID will be generated by Smaart.) 4 | P age Copyright © 2013 Rational Acoustics LLC. All rights reserved.

The Activate Online option will handle most of the details of registering a new installation for you, including creating a user account for you if you don't already have one, registering your license if necessary, and activating your installation. To begin the online activation process, click "Activate Online Now" button. This will take you to the screen shown below. At this point the process differs somewhat depending on whether or not you have created a licensing account and registered your Smaart v.7 license to it. You will begin by selecting the appropriate option in the left-hand column. • This license has already been registered. Select this option if your Smaart v.7 license has already been registered to your user account at my.rationalacoustics.com. In this case all you need to know is your Smaart v.7 license code and a password for your user account. • I want to register this license to my existing Smaart 6 or Smaart 7 user account. Select this option if your Smaart v.7 license has not been previously registered but you already have an existing user account at my.rationalacoustics.com. • I

  • Getting Started with Smaart® V7: Basic Setup and Measurement
    Updated 4/1/11 for release 7.2 Getting Started with Smaart® v7: Basic Setup and Measurement This guide is an introduction to the basic measurement and operational concepts embodied in Rational Acoustics’ Smaart® v7. While in no way an exhaustive study, this document serves as a starting point for users to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of Smaart’s single- and dual-channel capabilities, and provide instruction in the configuration and operation of basic measurement setups. Regardless of past measurement experience with previous versions of Smaart, or other analysis systems, users should take the time to familiarize themselves with the process of Configuring Smaart v7 for Measurement detailed in this document. Unlike previous versions which assumed a simple two-channel I/O, Smaart v7 can interface with multiple I/O devices simultaneously, each with multiple input and output channels. Accordingly, Smaart v7 makes no assumptions about a user’s measurement requirements and upon first run, begins its operation un-configured. As in previous versions however, following initial setup, Smaart retains its measurement configuration for subsequent sessions. Please note: in the case of the free/public demo version of the software, the Smaart measurement configuration is not retained from session to session, and must be rebuilt for each new session. Consider it practice. This guide assumes a reader with a basic understanding of professional audio equipment and engineering practices. It concludes with a list of recommended additional sources of information where users can further their understanding of these concepts. Rational Acoustics LLC is not responsible for damage to your equipment resulting from improper use of this product.
