Volume for programmer calibration

I'm calibrating my program modules for my Neumann, I get it, it's fairly straight forward when you follow the manual. But the manual doesn't say what volume to send the 200htz at, sending at "0" would be over kill wouldn't it? Any recommendations?

0VU is correct. Do you have the manual? I've attached a few screen grabs for calibrating the programmer.

When I send at "0"VU, the first adjustment on the "LL" control is fine, but when I send the out of phase signal to adjust my "v" at "0" the groove completely disappears in the narrowest point, even with its set completely clockwise (at any position for that matter)
I have a feeling that my "0" VU might be a lot hotter coming into the lathe

Ok, so i pulled out the old voltage meter and found 1.23V.....
I've got it all sorted!
