I am unable to much affect the "output" vertical bar,
The output VU meter is set with the sweep level. Set it to about -12dB FS and that should produce -12dB on the output VU meter. The Output Volume should be set to 0.500 and the Wave Volume set to 1.000. Neither of these latter two control have any effect on the output VU meter.

Once that's set, adjust the volume on your receiver to create 75dBSPL on your RS meter.

Now set the Input Volume until the Input VU meter reads about -3dB or about the same as the output VU meter.

Now set the CALIBRATE SPL using the button on the Settings tabs.

Now set the TARGET LEVEL using the button in Target settings pull down (left panel).

Now go to MEASURE and see what the Check Levels says... (ensure end freq = 200Hz

edit: you can set the Output Volume higher if you find the receiver volume dial is too high for your liking to get the 75dB. The 0.500 is a good starting point though.
