Masking Generator Inputs 

Meter 

There are four bar graph meters that illustrate the level of the output signal of the generator. It is POST the channel’s gain control and PRE input filters.

Masking 

When the Masking button is pressed a small window will open. This window allows the selection of either the White or Pink noise filter.

Ramp Time 

The Power Ramp button sets the desired turn on signal ramp time during power up. The Time buttons allow adjustment of the amount of preset 
time needed. The amount of steps is a formula of gain divided by time. The ramp interval voltage change will occur every 6 seconds. The amount of 
dB steps will vary depending on the total ramp time selected and the change in gain from -40dB. 

Example:

 Choosing 2 minutes of ramp time with 

channel gain set to -10dB, use the following formula to calculate dB rate of change:  
(Gain = -40dB minus -10dB = -30dB) and (Time = 120 seconds / 6 seconds = 20 steps) Gain Steps = 30dB / 20 steps = 1.5 dB change per second.

Ramp Bypass 

If the Power Up Ramp button is illuminated green the ramp feature is engaged, if grey the feature is bypassed.
