Well that clearly shows that the low frequency wave is coming through the lead from the output socket, but I notice that it is slightly different from the last time - the frequency has gone down from about 5 Hz to about 2 Hz, and it appears to be picking up something of the pulses from the click tra...

The background appears to be set in ThemeAsCeeCode.h but this is an auto-generated by Theme.cpp and I've no idea how it's generated as there does not appear to be a related image in the 'images' folder.
