Lacking drivers' parameters requested by Vituix CAD

Sometimes it could happen that some requested parameters' values in the (drivers') "Edit parameters" menu of Vituix CAD are not published in the specifications.

But some of them can be calculated from those that are given.

I want to share a spreadsheet I made to cope with this problem. In it, I included a cell to introduce the value of Rc that is the (non-top-of-the-end) cables resistance and crossover components connected in series that affect the Qes driver’s value. You may choose Rc = 0 ohm if you want to preserve Qes as given in the specification sheet.

Also, many times happen that the diaphragm’s effective area value does not yield to that published for the driver’s diaphragm moving mass. Then I need to adjust it to get the value of published Mms.

Cells with yellow background are for input values.

I hope you find some help with it.

Cheers!

VituixCAD calculates missing parameters (value=0) prioritizing fundamental parameters. Fundamental parameters are recommended to be entered (note VAS and Q are not fundamental). For example parameters in yellow of P17PRY in the Excel file produces:

Small differences to other calculations could exist due to differences in c and/or roo.
VCAD requires some values in Pmax and Xmax for the graphs, but these don't have to be "facts".

So any extra excel sheet is not needed.
 
Understanding the math and creating a spread sheet is well respected regardless.
Nice work and exploration Hugo

With first use many people have difficulties or didnt like
the cross calculating / sum check in WinIsd

They dont even allow the driver to be saved with errors.

Over time it is a amazing function to understand T/S math
and blow holes in bad datasheets or straight lies.

Though slightly different in function I have noticed
VCAD also works rather well for cross calculation / finding sum errors
and rather nice extended models.
