The SimScale Tool
SimScale is a Windows based *.SIM file scaler. Its primary
function is to prepare *.SIM files for use as filters in the Lake
Convolver tool.
SimScale is used to:
• Prevent clipping of filters by scaling down large amplitude
filters.
• Provide higher signal to noise ratios by scaling up small
amplitude filters.
• Reduce the amount of apparent volume difference when
switching filters by relatively scaling filters.
• Comparative scaling using multiple input and output files.
• Individual scaling of *.SIM files.
The Plotwsim application can be started from the Windows
Explorer.
1. From the C:\huron32\bin directory.
2. Double Click on the SimScale Icon.
This will display a file selection dialogue.
3. Select the directory in which the *.SIM files to be scaled are
kept.
Once specified a dialogue box will appear asking if all the
*.SIM files in the selected directory are to be scaled relative to
one another.
4. Click Yes if you wish all the *.SIM files in the directory to
be scaled against one another.
5. Click No if you wish to select the
individual *.SIM files to
be scaled.
6. — then —
7. A second dialogue box will appear. From this dialogue
select the files to be scaled.
