Signal Generator

The Signal Generator window allows you to generate test audio signals to check

signal paths, gain settings, etc. The Signal Generator can generate pink noise, white

noise, and tone.

Pink Noise. Pink noise is an audio test signal containing all the frequencies

in a given audio spectrum, with equal energy in each octave. Pink Noise is

the default signal.

White Noise. White noise is an audio test signal which is distributed evenly

throughout a given frequency range.

Tone. Selecting Tone activates the tone configuration portion of the window.

The tone is a sine wave with less than .03% distortion.

The test signals created by the signal generator are assigned to a particular input;

this allows you to verify the operation of the processor settings you have selected.

To use pink or white noise

1. Select the PSR1212

Unit and Input Channel you want to use.

2. Use

the

Amplitude control to select the amplitude (volume) of the signal you

want to use. The amplitude range is from -60 to +20dB. Default is 0dB.
