8.2.1 TOOLBAR BUTTONS<br />

Starts the measurement.<br />

Permits execution with the control panel in a minimized state. Only a small stay-onthe-top<br />

display remains visible. See 8.3.2.<br />

Stops the measurement.<br />

If pressed displays all measured parameters.<br />

Captures the actual reading of the multi-meter as the global reference level (or<br />

microphone sensitivity); refer to 8.3.3 and 8.5.1 for details.<br />

Control the scale of the meter bar graph.<br />

Enables/disables the generator control toolbar (see 8.3.1); this setting is saved<br />

within <strong>CLIOwin</strong> global settings.<br />

8.2.2 TOOLBAR DROP DOWN LISTS<br />

parameter<br />

Selects the parameter to be measured.<br />

unit<br />

Selects the measurement unit.<br />

channel<br />

Selects the input channel.<br />

integration<br />

Selects between fast (125ms) and slow (1s) integration. Not applicable to the LCR<br />

meter.<br />

8.3 USING THE MULTI-METER<br />

The first application of the Multi-meter has been described in section 3.4.1 when<br />

<strong>CLIOwin</strong> was started for the first time. This was a simple generation of a 1kHz sinusoid<br />

(0dBu output level) and relative level capture with the Multi-meter. You can continue<br />

the measurement described to familiarize better with the instrument. Pressing the<br />

magnifier will let you inspect all the parameters that the Multi-meter measures in<br />

parallel (Fig.8.1); changing the selected parameter will bring it in foreground; for any<br />

parameter it is possible to choose different units, for example THD can be shown in<br />

percentage or in dB; then you can select the input channel and the integration. This last<br />

parameter (integration) affects the measurement rate, since the integration fast<br />

assumes 125ms of exponential averaging while the integration slow assumes 1s of<br />

exponential averaging. The program approximates these constants trying to measure<br />

the computer speed and varying the number of averages calculated.<br />

The rest of the paragraph deals with other applications of the Multi-meter.<br />

8.3.1 CONTROLLING THE GENERATOR<br />

It is possible to control the generator by means of the dedicated main toolbar button<br />
