Measure a test tone from an analog source?

[jimndeb]

The options for Source in the measurement window seem to be REW or File.
I'd like to measure my turntable using a test tone from a test record. How would I go about that?

Depends what the test track is. You could use the RTA/spectrum analyser to look at the phono preamp output, would make sense when looking at individual tones, or capture the output as a WAV file and import that, but further processing may be required. See this, for example.

Thanks for this link. My phono stage is a Parks Audio Puffin and can output Pink Noise. I was hoping to measure that. Or perhaps a sweep from my Ortofone Test Record.
