WinISD Newbie needs some help...

[head_unit]

Wanting to model some driver combinations I decided to try WinISD since it seems popular. (I used to use LEAP and loved that thing but now...it would be just too much work to try and get that to run on some ancient hardware...).

I figured out how to enter new driver parameters and scale to absolute SPL. Yay me!

My next question is: how can I duplicate a driver entry? In other words I want to take an existing driver entry, duplicate it, and change a parameter like mass or BL, without re-typing all the stuff.

I maybe can't even find where the right driver file is...I can "see" something in File Explorer but can't duplicate and rename that raw file.

Just click on the "create new project" drop down menu, and select your driver from the list. Hit "next" at the bottom and you're away. You'll be asked to save the project.

select your driver from the list.

Won't this just make a new project? I want to make a new DRIVER without re-typing everything. I want to study the effect of changing mass and Bl and Cmas on the performance at very low frequencies. It's not the end of the world to re-type but it would be easier to just make a single change.

Hmmmm the next question: I pick/enter a driver, then I'm picking a box type, it calculates the voltage from Re I suppose. What if I want everything in the same box with the same voltage? Is there some way to set those as fixed? Make a project and clone it but change the driver?

Just navigate to the folder where Winisd stores the driver database and copy the unit to a new file and rename away. When you click on driver database icon and click load, you should be able to see the path in the address bar

That's one of the problems, I can't find that.

• In Windows (c🙂 > Program Files (x86) > WinISD there are just 3 .exe files.
• In Windows (c🙂 > ProgramData > WinISD there is Help, version.ini, 3 text files

Somewhere (Downloads, I think, or maybe Documents) there were 3 folders, Drivers Projects and something else. But now they are literally gone, search C: and nothing.

Just search you hard drive for "*wdr" and all your driver files should show up.

Open the program but instead of starting a project open the Driver Editor(under Utilities) and select the driver you previously created, change the 1 or 2 parameters you want and save it with a new name.

Have a look in C, in the windows folder. There is one called users. You will find a folder named after the user login. In this folder you should find the Winisd folder amongst others named after various progies. This is the default location for most windows progies to save your stuff
