NAME
       tonegen - Test the Voicetronix programmable tone generator

SYNOPSIS
       tonegen [options]

DESCRIPTION
       The tonegen utility uses the programmable tone generator to send tones to some port.

OPTIONS
       The following options are available:

       --card number
	      Explicitly select the card to test.  Default is card 0.

       --port number
	      Explicitly select the port to test. Default is port 0 of the card being tested.

       --toneid num
	      Play  a  locale  specific  predefined  tone,  where 0 <= num < VPB_TONE_ID_MAX.  The locale is decided according to the value of the
	      VPB_COUNTRY environment variable.

       --tone n freq mag
	      Set a single component for a user defined tone.  This option may be used more than once with different values of n to set the compo-
	      nents of a multi-frequency tone.	Legal values for the other parameters are 0 < freq <= 4000 (Hz), and -inf < mag < 0.0 (dB).

       --ontime ms
	      The number of milliseconds that a user defined tone should be on for.

       --offtime ms
	      The number of milliseconds that a user defined tone should be off for.

       --dial digits
	      Generates a dial string using the specified dtmf digits.

       --sync Play tones using the synchronous api functions.  The default is to use the async api.

       --loop Loop cadenced tones continuously.  Has no effect if a continuous tone has been specified.

       --recgain db
	      Set software record gain in dB.  Default is 0.0

       --rec file
	      Record audio to a file while playing.

       --contest
	      Do  not  wait  for a tone to complete before starting the next one.  This can be useful for stress testing the coherency of the tone
	      generator.

       --help, -?
	      Show summary of these options.
