3.6 RUNNING CLIO FOR THE FIRST TIME

If you have completed the preceding installation procedure, you are ready to run

CLIO!

The following steps will guide you through a complete verification of the

system performance and operation.

From the Start Menu choose Programs, then CLIO 10 and click on the CLIO icon.

The program should start smoothly and present the main desktop.

If the the system is not calibrated, as the first time you run it, you will receive the

following message.

Should CLIO display an error message take note of it and go to the troubleshooting

section (3.9).

3.6.1 INITIAL TEST

Let's now execute our first test measurement - play and capture a 1kHz

sinusoid.First of all click on the In-Out Loop button for channel A; in this way the

CLIO Box connects output A with input A with an internal relay. This connection is

very important as it lets you capture and analyze a signal generated by CLIO

without the need for an external connecting cable.

Then click on the generator icon to play the 1kHz sinusoid (1031.25Hz to be

exact; more on this later, it's the default signal). Then press the F4 keystroke to

invoke the Multi-Meter as in Fig.3.28.
