Tone Generator

The transmitter contains an internal tone generator that produces a continuous audio signal. The tone is helpful when conduct­
ing a sound check or for troubleshooting the audio signal chain. The level of the tone is adjustable from -60 dB to 0 dB and the
frequency can be set to 400 Hz or 1000 Hz.
Tip: Always start with the level set to -60 dB to avoid overloading speakers or headphones.
1.
From the Audio menu select Tone Gen.
2.
Set the frequency to 400 Hz or 1000 Hz.
3.
Select Level and use the arrow buttons adjust the value between -60 dB and 0 dB.
Turn off the tone by selecting Off from the menu or by cycling the transmitter power.

ShowLink Test

The ShowLink Test is a tool to find the boundaries of the ShowLink coverage area. When the ShowLink test is activated, a five-
bar display indicating the link quality is shown on the screen. As the transmitter moves away from the access point, the number
of bars will decrease. ShowLink control is maintained as long as 1 bar is displayed.
If the transmitter is beyond the coverage range, ShowLink control will not be possible. However, the audio signal will not be af­
fected or interrupted as long as the transmitter is within range of the RF signal.
To improve coverage, adjust the location of your access points or place additional access points to extend coverage.
To activate the ShowLink Test:
1.
From the Utilities menu, navigate to SL Test.
2.
Press the O button to start the test and walk the transmitter around the coverage area. Monitor the number of bars dis­
played and the state of the ShowLink icon. Coverage boundaries are indicated by 0 bars displayed or the ShowLink
icon is empty.
3.
Press the X button to exit the ShowLink test.
Tip: During a ShowLink test, press O (enter) to drop a marker in Wireless Workbench.
