NOTE:
The Signal Generator will automatically default to off whenever a new configuration is applied, a different
preset is loaded, or the Setup Wizard is completed. This is a safety feature to prevent accidental damage to system
components.

SIGNAL TYPE
[PINK, WHITE, SINE]
There are three signal type options to select from, they are: PINK, WHITE, and SINE. Some analyzers are calibrated to
read “flat” across the frequency spectrum when white noise is used, others are calibrated to read flat when pink noise is
used, and some allow you to select between the two. The VENU360’s built-in RTA is calibrated to read flat when pink
noise is used. Selecting the SINE option enables the SINE FREQ parameter, which allows you to select the frequency of
the tone being generated.
TIP:
Before enabling the Signal Generator and playing sine tones through the system, ensure that any enabled AFS
modules are turned off. Failing to do so can cause AFS filters to be set. If this happens when AFS is in Live mode,
simply clear the Live filters in the AFS menu. See
‘Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS) Module’ on page
for further information on turning AFS modules off and clearing Live filters.
•
SIGNAL ROUTE
[IN1-IN7, ALL]
Selects where to inject the Signal Generator signal. The options are “IN1”-”IN7” or “ALL” (inputs). When the Signal
Generator is enabled, the signal will be routed to the selected SIGNAL ROUTE, muting the signal that normally feeds
the configured input and replacing it with the Signal Generator’s signal. This allows the Signal Generator to be used not
only for identifying system issues, but also for verifying signal routing within a loaded preset configuration, by enabling
and steering the Signal Generator then looking at the front-panel LED meters to see where each signal is routed.
•
SIGNAL LEVEL
[-60dB - 0dB]
Adjusts the level of the Signal Generator.
•
SINE FREQ
[20Hz - 20kHz]
Adjusts the frequency of the generated tone when SIGNAL GEN is “ON” and the SIGNAL TYPE is set to “SINE”.
TIP:
When using the RTA from the front panel of the VENU360, you may want to disable the HOME SCREEN TIME
OUT feature in the Utility menu to prevent the LCD display from timing out and returning to the home screen. For more
information on the HOME SCREEN TIME OUT feature, see
TIP:
You can choose to make the RTA your home screen. For more information on changing the home screen, see
