Tone Generator

A Tone Generator block can generate pure tone (sine wave) audio signals at different frequencies.

Tone causes the generator to output a signal at a fixed frequency.

Sweep causes the generator to output a signal whose frequency regularly or continuously changes.

Mute turns the generator on or off.

Level sets the audio signal level of the generated signal.

Frequency sets the frequency of the generated tone (when in Tone mode).

Start Frequency and Stop Frequency set the range of frequencies that the generated tone will sweep through (when in Sweep mode)

Frequency Increment sets the step size by which the frequency of the generated tone will be increased (when in Sweep mode). The maximum setting is 1 octave, which equates to a doubling of the frequency The minimum setting is 1/96 octave, which results in a smoothly swept tone.

Increment Time sets the time for which each frequency increment is held (in Sweep mode).
