Greetings. I generated my first FRD file using ARTA. When I open the file in Notebook, I see three columns, though they do not have headers! They look like frequency, dB and phase. I imported said FRD file into Vituix CAD. The phase data is there, but the SPL data is not.
When I right-click of the upper left graph (where I believe SPL should be displayed) and choose "traces" the dialog box does not have a box next to "driver #1 magnitude".
I'm stumped. I can't find anything in the manual which covers this.

Hi,
Usually this state is when there is no connection from the voltage generator to the driver in the main view. This is default state if you open new project, so at first you need to connect wire from the generator to the driver to make it work.
If you already did this and possibly have some components in there in between, make sure they are not marked "open", and that the driver is not "muted". Right click a component to open popup menu where you can adjust these.
Sometimes I manage to disconnect something and the SPL trace disappears, for example move a filter component by accident so that it doesn't touch the previous one and the signal breaks. So, just make sure the voltage generator is connected to the driver, with wire and any number of other components/blocks. Hope this helps!

See User manual,
section "How to start working with VituixCAD",
Tip 2: Version 2.0 does not have initial crossover so at least single wire from generator to driver is required for visualizing frequency and impedance responses loaded to Drivers tab:
This should be extremely practical and logical because you cannot get much sound pressure from the driver without connecting signal to it. Program also opens to Crossover tab to show user how empty schematic initially is. Of course, program could draw single wire to new project, but it must be erased to make anything useful.
