Optional Flags
/Deg = azimuth
Specifies the azimuth, in degrees, for which impulses are returned and other functions are performed. azimuth can range from -179° to 180° with 0° being between the left and right speakers. elevation may be specified but is ignored. azimuth (and elevation) are set as variables V_Az. The corresponding index of the impulse is set as V_Index.
/Rad = { azimuth [, elevation] }
Specifies the azimuth, in degrees, for which impulses are returned and other functions are performed. azimuth can range from -π/2 to π/2 with 0 being between the left and right speakers. elevation may be specified but is ignored. azimuth (and elevation) are set as variables V_Az. The corresponding index of the impulse is set as V_Index.
/Ind = index
Specifies the index for which impulses are returned and other functions are performed.
/DF = dfRef dfRef is an optional datafolder reference. Destination waves are written to this existing datafolder, overriding any datafolder specified by destWaveNames. Waves are written to the current datafolder if not specified here or in destWaveNames.
/Imp = impulseDest
Specifies the destination for impulses corresponding to directions specified by the /Deg, /Rad, or /Ind flags.
/Ramp = { on, off }
Specifies the length of on and off ramps, in milliseconds, applied to impulses. If omitted, default ramps of 0.15 ms and 0.7 ms are used, respectively.
/Conv = { waveSrc, [ Dest ] }
Convolves waveSrc with impulses writing the results to Dest. If Dest is omitted, waveSrc is overwritten.
/Mt = mt
If mt is set to 1, convolutions are multithreaded. A single thread is used if mt is 0. This flag only applies to the /Conv flag. The benefits of multithreading are small unless waveSrc is very long.
/Az = { azimuthsDest, [ format ]}
Returns azimuths corresponding to DataSet in the wave specified by azimuthsDest.
format = 0: values are in radians, ranging from 0 to 2π. (Default if format omitted).
format = 1: values are in degrees, ranging from 0 to 360.
format = 2: values in radians are shifted so that they range from -π to π.
format = 3: values in degrees are shifted so that they range from -179 to 180.
/CDFC = { cdfc [, cdfcDest ] }
cdfc = 1, Apply Common Diffuse Field Compensation filter.
cdfc = 0, No filter is applied.
cdfcDest Destination wave specification for CDFC (optional).
/HPCF = { hpStr [, hpcfDestWave ] }
Apply Headphone correction filter.
hpStr must be one of the following: Beyerdynamic DT250, Beyerdynamic DT770PRO 250Ohms, Beyerdynamic DT880, Beyerdynamic DT990PRO, Sennheiser HD430, Sennheiser HD480, Sennheiser HD560ovationII, Sennheiser HD565ovation, Sennheiser HD600, Sennheiser HD650, AudioTechnica ATH M50, Shure SRH940, Presonus HD7, AKG K141MK2, AKG K240DF, AKG K240MK2, AKG K271MK2, AKG K271STUDIO, AKG K601, AKG K701, AKG K702, AKG K1000 Closed, AKG K1000 Open. Spaces may be replaced with "_". Other minor omissions or variations are also allowed.
hpcfDestWave Destination wave specification for selected HPCF (optional).

DFT output flags
/Pnts = pnts Number of DFT points. Values shorter the length of BRIRCR7NeumannKU100s are ignored. If a non-compatible number of points is passed, the next larger compatible number of points is used.
/Mag = { MagDest [, dB ]}
MagDest specifies the destination wave for DFT amplitude values.
dB = 0: output is linear (Pa)
dB = 1: output is in dB, computed as 20*log(mag)
dB = 2: output is in dB, referenced to 20 µPa, computed as 20*log(mag/0.00002) (Default if dB is omitted)
/Phi = { PhiDest [, unwrap ]}
PhiDest specifies the destination wave for DFT phase values.
unwrap = 0: values are wrapped (Default if unwrap is omitted)
unwrap = 1: values are unwrapped using π modulus.
/IPD = { IPDDest [, unwrap ]}
IPDDest specifies the destination wave interaural phase difference (IPD) values.
