Feature Request: Excursion Limit Detection

[natebow]

I was looking for a way to detect excursion limits - maybe generate a signal and look for distortion products? Seems this is something that might not be too difficult in REW.

Depends what you mean by excursion limit. If you are looking for max SPL the CEA-2010 burst is the usual method.

I'm actually looking for Xmax generated distortion, not Xlim - so I think harmonic content is going to be a more reliable indicator, but I'll give that a try (once I get my inputs working again).
I have a commercial box which is disappointing me, farting out even with a sub handling < 100 Hz. I'm trying to figure out "the excursion limit is 95dbA @ 120 Hz" or whatever.
