    Hi liveNathan,

    Take a look at

    The file starts with:

    It’s a 2 column file with Freq & Magnitude but “FIR Creator” requires 3 or 4 column for Freq|Mag|Phase|Coherence. Since there are so many different ways TXT and CSV files can be created, we’ve had to put some rules around how we import files. We do look for a few special cases, and for REW, we currently look for the starting line

    * Impulse Response data saved by REW

    We’ll look at adding something for this file’s header also.

    In the meantime I suggest copying this into Excel, adding a 3rd column of 0’s, and saving as a 3 column txt file.

    Alternatively, if your intended target response is something simple, use “FIR Creator” in “Direct Design” mode, make your target response, export as a FIR Designer Target File (FDT) and import this on the Target tab.
