Tone
-
(
Tone
 Generator).  This controls an internal 
Tone
 Generator, whose level and
frequency can be adjusted.  Pressing 
Set
 enters a submenu, which accesses
the following functions:
Level
The output level in dB0. It can be changed in 0.1dB
steps using the 
Up
 and 
Down
 buttons. Press 
Set
to accept the change. The rate of change
accelerates if the button is held down. The range is
from 0dB0 to –120dB0.
Freq
The output frequency, in kHz. It can be changed by
using the 
Up
 and 
Down
 buttons. Press 
Set
 to
accept the change. The rate of change accelerates
if the button is held down. The step size becomes
progressively smaller below 1kHz.
On/Off
Toggles whether the Generator is on or off.
Up
Allows the menu to be re-entered to set other
functions. Alternatively, if left, the menu will just
time out, keeping the last settings.
The frequency range is from 1Hz to 99kHz but the level rolls off at the extremes,
due to anti-image filters in the analogue circuitry. The Generator output level is
within –0.1dB from less than 10Hz up to 50kHz.
The 
Tone
 Generator works standalone, without a digital input. If locked, the unit
will be unlocked when the Generator is turned on. At power up, the Generator is
always set to 
Off
1kHz
 and 
–18dB0
 – this is a safety measure.
If very fine frequency resolution is wanted, RS-232 control will give mHz
frequency resolution.  See section 
 starting
The tone generator is very pure – it is a good analogue source.
IMPORTANT! 
To avoid damage to your ears, loudspeakers and power amplifiers, use the
Tone  Generator with care .
Sys
-
Sys
tem phase check. This turns on a full-scale test signal for checking absolute
output phase on an oscilloscope.
IMPORTANT! 
To avoid damage to your ears, loudspeakers and power amplifiers, use the
Sys
 option with care . Turn your system volume level well down before using
this feature!
Turn this option 
On
, the display will flash 
Sys On
 and the waveforms shown
below will appear on the analogue outputs. The top waveform is from the left
channel, the bottom is from the right.
