Low level of IRs created via Tone Match block

Hi

I'm just getting started with the Tone Match Block.
Currently I'm trying to use it to create an EQd cab IR.

I'm using a Synth Block on Layer 2 to send pink noise into a Cab Block followed by a PEQ Block on Layer 1.
The Tone Match Block is also on Layer 2 and has a straight-wire connection from the Synth Block.
So Layers 1 and 2 are in parallel.

Cab PEQ
Synth Tone Match

At any rate, my method seems to work and the tones do match - but the level of the IR that the TM Block creates is about 10db lower than my other IRs when they are used in the Cab Block.
Is this normal?
If not, then what might I be doing wrong?
If yes, then how can I normalize these IRs?

Also, when I press X to save the IR over USB, what application do I need to record the .ir file to disk?
I've tried recording the sysex message with SysexLibrarian but the resulting .syx file is not recognized by either Fractal Bot or Cab Lab as a valid IR file.
I tried changing the suffix from .syx to .ir and that doesn't help either.

Also...
I have the Axe's Global IR Capture Mode set to Ultra Rez but the IRs I'm creating with the above methods appear to be Hi-Res (i.e. non-italicized letters).
Why isn't the TM Block creating UR IRs?

Any info/tips appreciated.
 
Change 'online' to 'live' for ultra-rez. As for the volume issue, I would like to a solution to that myself.
 
Thanks, Moke, for the tip about the Offline vs Live setting.
That does make it so the resulting IR is in UR format when saved.
Is this documented somewhere in the manual or in any of the Tone Match documents?

Still would be nice to have my other questions answered as well.
