• Operating system MS Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7).
• • RAM - 1 GB min, recommended 4 GB. The Maximum number of segments is dependant on the amount of free RAM. For calculation of 15000 segments > 3,5 GB of RAM is required.
• Pre-installed basic version MMANA-GAL. The PRO version overlays the original installation to utilize some of settings (e.g. language) and sub-directories.

• Options	PRO version	basic version
  Segments (max)	to 32000 (16 GB RAM)	8192
  Wires (max)	3000	512
  Sources (max)	200	64
  Loads (max)	300	100
  Merged antenna files	2 to 4	Not Applicable
  Undo/Redo	unlimited	Not Applicable
  Auto check wires	yes	Not Applicable

• Unpack the ZIP file to a suitable directory - ( it is recommended that the directory of basic version MMANA-GAL is used) and start file MMANAGALpro_setup.exe.
• The first time you start the program you may be asked to specify the path to the basic MMANA-GAL program directory.
• After installing and first start the Pro version software automatically opens a window Activate.  Enter in the this window your name and/or call and click the button E-mail activation request. 
• Please send this request  to our e-mail. You will be sent a personal activation code within 24 hours during normal working days – Monday through to Friday.
• To enter the received activation code, go to Main Menu -> Help -> Activate, and enter (by the button Paste personal activation code)  the activation code you received.
• Press OK button. Restart program.
• Once the code is entered, entered, the program will be fully functional, and the buttons  and will appear on toolbar, as shown in picture below:
  
  Absence of these buttons on the Tool-bar indicates the activation was not successful.

   Up to 4 independent antenna model files can be merged in the PRO version.

   To merge a new antenna into an already open file, you will need to use the on the tool-bar,

    And then select the new antenna from one of the directories you are using. You can add other antennas as required (max 3 to the original one).

   After merging the individual antennas into a common file:

• All the wires and loads of each of the antennas are taken into account during calculations.
• However, any editing of the combined antenna model (move, rotate, edit wire, etc) has to be performed on individual antennas by first selecting the required antenna you wish to edit using the A1 to A4 buttons on the bottom left hand side of the main screen ( see next image ). 

   The following two screenshots describe the management of the merged files. The example below (available in …\ANT_PRO\4.maa,) is the "Multiple 3-band quad" merged with a "VHF Yagi – Uda", and consists of four separate antennas. The highlighted antenna (shown in black) is the Uda-Yagi.

The Adding & Deleting Antennas Function within the Pro version Program:

• The button is only enabled when the number of merged antennas in the opened *.maa file is < 4. If the opened file already has 4 separate antennas as in the previous quad- Yagi-Uda antenna, then  is disabled because there is no room for the new antenna.
• After clicking of button, specify which antenna you want to add to the existing model.
• The button is only enabled  if the current model has 2 or more separate antennas. In the above example the is highlighted and the selected antenna (Uda-Yagi) will be removed.
• The height of each antenna is taken into account in the merged file when the calculations are performed i.e. each antenna is treated separately.

Working with a merged antenna model:

• View Screen:  all antennas except the one selected, are depicted in blue. If the current box is checked on the view screen then all the calculated antennas currents will become visible.
  • o Antenna Selection Panel (bottom left hand side) is used to select which antenna will be shown in the Geometry Tab, and Wire Edit and Element Edit screens.
• Geometry   Screen: only shows the wires of the selected antenna on the View Tab. Each geometry line entry is prefixed with an Index number of an active antenna (A1, A2, A3 or A4) i.e. A3/23 (23rd wire of third antenna).
• Geometry   Screen
  • Antenna Selection Panel (centre right hand side) is used to select which antenna will be shown in the Geometry Tab.
  • The Wire Edit & Element Edit tabs will activate pop-up windows, and each one will only display the selected antenna’s wires or elements.
• All commands of Main menu and submenu Edit affect only selected antenna.
• When one of the merged antennas is selected, the corresponding source is activated together with the selected frequency for that antenna.

• You can roll back to the previous values of the antenna’s parameters after a calculation by using the Undo button on the tool bar.
• Undo can only perform after calculating the change to the model; otherwise the feature will be inactive.
• You can perform a Redo after an Undo to return to the new calculated model. This feature is only active if Undo has been performed first.
• The number of steps undo-redo is only limited capacity hard drive.
• The Undo and Redo arrow symbols are shown on the toolbar in the following screenshot.

 

• The Pro version automatically checks the model prior to executing the calculation. It checks the model for errors: such as the same and / or crossed wires unacceptable in the method of moments.
• These checks are carried out for all antennas in the combined model.
• If errors are discovered these are displayed in the information window, which provides a description of the error. The Tab key can be used to move the cursor to the problematic wire.
• If a few errors, the first specified first, since its elimination - the second, etc.
• The following screenshot shows an example message for combined antenna model where the 28^th wire of the first antenna intersects the 12^th wire of the second antenna.

• Basic version of MMANA-GAL program can open *.maa PRO files only if the number of wires, segments, loads and sources is within limitations of basic version.
• Basic version of program will open merged antennas *.maa PRO files as a single one antenna.
