Hallo YLs und OMs!
Nachfolgend spiele ich das Programm MMANA V2.03 vom 06.01.2006 ein.
Die Datei MMANA_V203.zip enthält ebenfalls NEC2 V1.8 für MMANA und
open source für MMANA Help.
Das Programm ist freeware.
73 de DG4DAZ, Jörg

MMANA Version 2.03 Information
What's news in the version 2.03?
General:
- The MMANA project has been optimized under Bilder ?++ ver 4.0/6.0 what will
allow to easily compile MMANA for contemporary and new operation systems.
- The MININEC-3 code has been optimized, a substantial part of global
variables has been removed and long functions have been split into shorter
ones. At critical points some quickly executed functions were implemented.
It allowed to speed up calculations by approx. 25%.
- The program became a multilingual one (a language can be chosen in the
Service menu). There are three languages provided for the program by default
(English, Russian and Bulgarian), but any user can easily write a similar
file in his own language by a simple editing of the English one. It means,
MMANA will be able to communicate with an user in ANY language, actually in
the language of his operation system, and that users will be able to write
language files themselves. Besides, a user is now able to edit the program's
signs and messages in his own language, i.e. to adjust the wording style or
to replace eventual typing errors with his own errors according to taste..
- Pop-up notes are added in several places. If some buttons' functions are
unclear, just try to point out at the button. Now there is more chance that
a pop-up note will sow up.
- There are some slight interface changes at several windows.
The "Geometry" clause:
- by default a new wire has Seg = ?1.
- an S-parameters' bug is fixed.
The "View" clause:
- a picture can be turned in both horizontal and vertical planes by moving a
cursor while the left mouse button kept pressed.
- a picture can be moved linearly (up and down, as well as left and right) by
moving a cursor while both the Shift (or Ctrl) keyboard buttons and the left
mouse button kept pressed/
- a semi-transparent window of a description of a marked wire.
- added a possibility to save a picture of the antenna and currents in a *.jpg
file.
- implemented is a regime of double-bold wires (suitable for creation of
black-and-white pictures).
The "Calculate" clause:
- in the "Ground setup" window the radius of extra wire radials is set up in
millimeters.
The "Far Fields" clause:
- a representation (by a left mouse click) of a vector headed to a direction
of a mouse cursor showing an information about a current amplification,
as well as a difference between a maximal amplification and the current one.
The move of the vector upon the Direction Diagram is effected my move of the
cursor while the left mouse button kept pressed. Attention! It does not work
in the "V+H" regime, as well as after optimisation (i.e. after the
optimization another re-calculation is necessary). The vector switches off
by a right mouse click.
- by default the "Total far fields" is displayed.
- a 3D direction diagram is implemented (an advanced method of acceleration of
calculations was used, therefore the speed of calculation and creation of
directions' diagram is quite high).
- a picture can be turned by a mouse move similar to the "View" clause.
- the 3D-plot setup is started by a right mouse click.
- Color set in 3D window is started by a double left mouse click).
- Color Set turns off by a double left mouse click.
- a direction diagram for a fixed angle can be emphasized by selection a
respective No. in the low right check-box.
The "Plot" window:
- the window size is enlarged.
- the Plot setup (including Number of additional dots) is written into the
mmana.ini file. It means, all plot setups remain at a new startup of the
program.
General menu:
- a new "Tools" topic is added where is a possibility to call in some
user-defined programs (i.e. NEC_for_MMANA, GAL-AntView, etc), as well as a
start-up of a user's program running the current *.maa file.
In the "Service" added are:
- a possibility to toggle Toolbar.
- Tab position set up (at the top or at bottom).
In the "File" clause:
- added is a possibility to create (Create list F/R/jX (*nwl)) files to be
processed in the GAL-EL program (a program for calculations of feeding and
matching networks, including multiband ones. Not free. So far it only has a
Russian interface, an English version soon to be released).
In the general setup added
- is a possibility of an automatic detection of a particular computer's RAM
size along with an automatic set up of a maximal quantity of segments
according to the RAM size.
Attention!
A compatibility with the old files' formats *.mab and *.mao is not maintained
anymore. If you have old *.mao or *.mab files, open them with a previous
version of the program ????? and then save them as *.maa.
Approx. 400 new *.maa files sorted into thematic directories are added to the
antennas' library. In fact, the library is a good antennae reference book.
