Help with SPL COPY and .frd file extraction

Status
Not open for further replies.
Like the thread title states, I'm having issues getting SPL copy to work. I've also tried searching for SPL trace, but cannot find a site that hosts the download. 😕

I've even tried taking the .jpg's of the graphs into photoshp to redraw the grid, outlined the graph in different colors all to no avail.

The speaker's I'm working with are :

dayton's DC28F-8 (tweeter)
Dayton Audio DC28F-8 1-1/8" Silk Dome Tweeter | 275-070
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Yes, many people who use SPL Copy will go over the graph in MS Paint or something similar. I personnally could never get it to work properly and use SPL Trace instead.

SPL Tools

And the whole FRD Consortium can be helpful:

It's can also be a good idea to use a 3rd party's measured data instead of the manufacturer's although Dayton is usually pretty good. You'll find both of those drivers measured at Zaph|Audio

Hi,
I just Right clicked on your Dayton DA175-8 graph and copied directly the picture to SPL-Copy. using a previously unknown 'Option' settings.
The problem I had was that the Tracer halted and I had to use my Arrow keys at least 30 times..but when reaching the 'Endpoint'= 20kHz, the Program will show a .frd=.txt file as always.So far, I have made several hundreds of successful tracings.
Hints how: See the Picture:

You might be able to find stock files for your drivers here:
https://app.box.com/s/qa3g6ukzxp6410dwmcrv

In the FRD-ZMA folder is a log of many I've done, the list from former-PE worker Darren Kuzma, and SPLtrace files for installation.

The PE docs are part-number based, and the zma lists the driver's info. You may have to strip headers to use them, but that's not hard.

Later,
Wolf
