Signal Probe

Purpose

The signal probe is used to check the audio paths between devices by connecting to the wires in the project.

The Probe point valid LED lights when the audio wire or wiring node you are testing is connected to an audio device, e.g. a pink noise generator, and not a logic device, e.g. an AND gate. The device also displays the device ID and port type.

Note: The Signal Probe is designed to be used when the project has been deployed and audio can pass between the devices. The Probe point valid LED only works when the project has been deployed.

Tips:

• You can connect the output wiring node on the Signal Probe block to a meter to instantly see when a signal is present at the test point.
• As an alternative to using the Signal Probe device, you can connect an oscilloscope to an output connector on a NioNode to check for the presence of a signal.
