Basic Measurements

Making Audio Measurements

An audio signal with no phase error appears as a straight line extending from the audio box in the upper right corner of the graticule to the box in the lower left. A signal with phase error appears as an opening in a Lissajous waveform.

Figure 4-13 shows three audio input signals that are equal in amplitude, but have different phase relationships.

Audio gain is set from the GAIN menu when AUDIO display is selected. Gain choices are 0 dBu, 4 dBu, 8 dBu, or 12 dBu. Select gain relative to the system under test.
