While in the AUDIO MEASUREMENT menu, you can press the CONFIG
front-panel key to display the AUDIO MEASUREMENT CONFIG menu. See
Figure 3–211.

Figure 3–211: Audio measurement configuration menu

The softkeys and functions on the PARAMETERS side of this configuration
menu are the same as discussed earlier for the Audio Measurement menu.

Press the MENU UP front-panel key to return to the AUDIO MEASUREMENT
menu or press the HARMONIC DISTORTION softkey to go to the menu for
configuring the tester to make an audio harmonic distortion measurement.

Harmonic Distortion

If you pressed the HARMONIC DISTORTION softkey in the AUDIO MEA-
SUREMENT menu (see Figure 3–210 on page 3–258), the tester displays the
AUDIO MEASUREMENT (HARMONIC DISTORTION) menu shown in
Figure 3–212.
