To Set Up an Audio Input
WFM8200 and WFM8300 Waveform Monitors
Your instrument provides several methods for monitoring audio signals. It
can measure levels, monitor phase, display phase correlation, and monitor
surround-sound audio. You can specify meter ballistics and scales, set test and
peak program indicator levels, and specify how phase is displayed.
NOTE.
The audio monitoring features described in this chapter require that the
appropriate audio options are installed. For a list of the options currently installed
on your instrument, press the CONFIG button. In the configuration menu, select
Utilities. The View Instruments Options entry lists the installed options.
Audio inputs come set to factory defaults. As a result, you may need to configure
them before performing the audio monitoring procedures in this section. The
first procedure helps you configure the inputs. After you have completed that
procedure, check that the alarms are configured as you want them. Your setup
here determines, in part, which audio-signal characteristics are displayed.
