Thanks, Tom and Ingo! I'm still confused. Ingo, the impact on a sine
was close to non-existent. None of the waveforms were able to come
up with a result worth mentioning. We were 2 of us in front of the
module and both *very* disappointed untill we came up with the
Jomox. Since the A pot needed to be at -1 in order not to amplify
probably it's a calibration issue with this particular unit we were
toying with Regards, Ingo
