Sine Wave

1. Click the Processing tab to open the Processing Workspace.
2. In the palette area, click the DSP tab.
3. Expand the Misc: level, delay, meter... category of blocks.
4. Click and drag the Sine Wave block into your Processing Map.
5. Wire the output from the Sine Wave block to the appropriate block.
6. (Optional) Customize the names of the block and the output node by clicking their current name and then typing the custom name in the text box that appears. Click the X to save the name.

• Open the Sine Wave block's properties by double-clicking the block or hovering and clicking the properties icon that appears in the upper right of the block's title bar. From here, do the following:
  • Unmute the block and use the Frequency and Amplitude settings to set the desired volume.
  • View the output meter which shows the rms and peak amplitude of the generated signal. The peak is always 3 dB above the rms level due to the sine wave’s constant 3 dB crest factor.

note: The Sine Wave block is muted by default.

UI Element	Purpose
Output node	Connection point for wiring the sine wave output

 

UI Element	Purpose
Frequency	Manual control for setting the frequency of the sine wave. Range is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Default = 1000 Hz
Amplitude	Specifies the amplitude of the sine wave output. Range is -100 dBr to 0 dBr. Default = -30 dBr
Output Meter	Indicates the sine wave signal’s rms and peak amplitudes in dBFS and dBr. The peak is always 3 dB above the rms level due to the sine wave’s constant 3 dB crest factor.
Mute	Mutes the block's output Default = Checked (muted)
