The same measurement through the XLR input is ideal for cable tests. Time Sweep Intermittent faults are often hard to fi nd. The time sweep records the RMS level, frequency and the THD+N value simultaneously, helping to monitor the audio signal during a long period of time for later analysis. Scope Provides a quick and robust look at the waveform of the balanced audio signal, quickly fi nding clipping amplifi ers etc. The auto-scale and auto-trigger functionality are normally only found in expensive stand alone scopes.
