5.4.2 INPUT/OUTPUT LOOPBACK
The CLIO Box features an internal loopback very useful for performing self tests.
Connects channel A output to channel A input with an internal relay.
Connects channel B output to channel B input with an internal relay.
5.4.3 GENERATOR CONTROL
CLIO's generator can be controlled from the dedicated toolbar buttons and dialogs;
another powerful way to manage it (interactively with a level measurement) is from
within the Multi-meter control panel, which can be invoked with the F4 shortcut. Refer
to section 8.3.1 for details.
output level display & control buttons
Displays the actual output level (in dBu) of the internal generator. This level is valid
for both output channels. It is possible to modify it in 1dB steps pressing the (or
F7) and (or F8) buttons. If the Shift key is pressed simultaneously then the steps
are of 0.1dB.
Switches on and off the generator.
To immediately kill the generator it is possible to use the ESC key.
If you wish to receive a message (Fig.5.3) before playing check PromptOnPlay
in the generator drop down menu (see right below).
Clicking on the small arrow aside the button the generator drop down menu is
invoked; from there it is possible to choose the output signal to be generated.
The default signal at startup is a 1kHz sinusoid.

generator drop down menu
Note: this drop down menu will appear also clicking the SET button within the Multimeter
control panel (8.3.1).
It is possible, from here, to define three kinds of signals or choose from a signal file
list. Once you have defined the signal you want to play, then you will control
generation simply with the toolbar button . The signal will remain defined until next
user definition. The default signal is a 1kHz continuous sinusoid.
Check PromptOnPlay if you want to be prompted (Fig5.3) before the generator
starts playing.
