Parametric beams are produced using 3D Audio-Beamforming. You can use the HOLOPLOT Plan interface to create the beams, and steer the sound waves in a specified direction, allowing you to control where the audio beam points to in 3D space.
A Parametric Beam is described by a set of parameters that geometrically define how its dispersion pattern is shaped.
To add a Parametric Beam to your array, you must first add an array using the **Create Array** option in the toolbar. Next, click **Create Parametric Beam** in the contextual menu.
The properties of the beam can be adjusted in the Properties Panel in the window on the right.
