When measuring for effective piston diameter you can measure from the outside of the surround on one side of the speaker to the inside of the surround on the other. Sometimes that's easier than eyeballing the center of the surround.
Hey nick, When do dats need to calibrate by resistor and its test cable Everytime using or just one time after installing dats software? Thanks another useful vid of yours.
Great question! You only need to calibrate it the first time. But if you are doing a really critical measurement, then you might as well calibrate it again.
Nice man. I’ve just got my dats v3 and I’m enjoying to play around with it. Though when I use WINISD speaker box design software and I input the data I always get a fail on the crosschek parameters. Could you give a hand on how to use tha TS parameter on WINISD? Thanks man.
Remember Winisd uses math, measurements might vary slightly depending on drive level, vertical, horizontal position, production tolerances, test leads impedance. Then when it comes to what happens, say at half the allowed wattage, no program is able to really simulate this kind of condition. I use 20+ yr old Clio which runs on DOS, 0.775V drive level for T/S measurements (I keep it until it dies).
I have watched 12 RUclips videos. No offense it's like everyone spoke to each other and did the exact same videos in exact steps. Weird. But I'm a nobody and don't know shit. So the oscilloscope feature is never mentioned. If it's an oscilloscope should be able in theory to tune amp gains with it? Like a normal scope even a 40 dollar on Amazon will do it. If for 200 bucks this device will only basically verify the manufacturers specs already gave to you on paper. It's useless. And the tone gen also to run test tones. I'm really wondering about this thing. Hopefully this can't be all it does. Thanks for you video and work. First time ⌚ here
You might expect that a lot of your viewers are audiophiles whose PCs are central to their HIFI systems with big loudspeakers and with big screens as their monitors etc. It would be VERY useful if you would NOT breathe into your mic while recording. Thanks!
Great info! Pulling t/s parameters can seem daunting to some, but once they kind of understand what’s going on it’s easy peasy.
This video was great. You answered questions I had and some I didn't know I had yet. Very informative thank you.

That's a great idea. Believe it or not I was actually going to mention that, but felt like the video is getting too long. Excellent pro tip!
@@Toid I stole the idea from Hexibase.
Just a quick one… what do you do to get / save a driver’s frequency response graph using a calibrated microphone? Do you use DATS 3 or something else?
this looks like a some pretty useful software for testing that the crossover values match on my old speaker pair.
Absolutely. That's a huge benefit
Dats cool Toid!
Nice!
Do we get a CMS reading? I think we also don't get a Bl and without it WinIsd isn't working properly? Any recommendations?

Could I get some info on those speakers at 1:35? Great vid btw!
Those are the Mini Dinas. They are still a work in progress right now.
@@Toid almost a boenicke w5 clone
@@chribzzz that was the original goal
So these are a diy kit or self designed?
@@kikisara93 they will be plans in the future to DIY yourself. Similar to the Dinas. But these are passive.

Do you have to recalibrate in a case where you extend the cable for clip type speaker connectors?
No
@@Toid thanks. Also want to know about tests for large signal parameters, frequency response and non-linearities. How can these tests be performed?
@@radon222u typically with a Klippel
@@Toid ok. And Clio?
Dat makes total sense!
Best comment so far!
@@Toid Dats da deal.
@@MrBrymstond haha, you are definitely punny today :)
