11.2 Monitoring an SLM-8
There are several ways to monitor a load or a system output with an SLM-8. This section will explore each one.
11.2.1 Monitoring from a Control Block
Once an SLM-8 has been configured, the pass (P) or fail (F) status of each of its eight channels can be measured
in the right half of each control block (see Figure 11.1). Notice that each channel is independently monitored for
impedance and frequency. The P/F indicators in the control block function identically to the Pass/Fail LEDs on the
front panel of the SLM-8.
11.2.2 Monitoring from a Curve Screen
It is also possible to view the response from the SLM-8 Curve screen. To do so, switch to the SLM-8 Setup Sub-
block screen by pressing
& or selecting the Setup command in the center of the control block and pressing the
“Space BAr” or Left-clicking the mouse({). The Setup Sub-block screen shown in Figure 11.2 will appear:

Next, select the desired channel under the View Curve column in the lower right portion of the sub-block. Then
press the “Space Bar” to toggle through the possible views and select one. They include: Impedance curve,
Frequency curve, Impedance Reference curve, Frequency Reference curve, Impedance and Impedance
Reference curve, Frequency and Frequency Reference curve. Finally, press
E to switch to the Curve
screen and view the selected curve for the selected channel. A sample is shown in Figure 11.3.
