Test Generator Functions
For test purposes, the OnAir 2500 features an internal test signal generator
available for every channel. While the generator is active, the normal chan-
nel buttons in the left part of the page are disabled and displayed in gray. The
test generator may only be activated by users having the appropriate access
rights configured by the system administrator. In addition, the generator can-
not be activated while the corresponding channel is on-air; the GEN button
is grayed-out then. Waveform, frequency and level settings are performed on
the Admin - Gen page (see chapter 5.3.8.8).
Note: Activating the test generator temporarily switches the cannel input from the
assigned source signal to the generator’s output. Channel settings, such as EQ,
dynamics, etc. are not affected, which allows setting the channel parameters
to the desired values using the test generator.
GEN Generator on/off button; this button is highlighted when the generator is ac-

L, R The format (mono or stereo) of the test generator output follows the current
channel output format.
The L and R buttons route the generator output to the left and/or right channel
and are not displayed for mono input channels.
