wrong!
That's what I did first and it does not measure latency which is easy to prove when you change the buffer size and notice no difference when you record the signal again.
What you get though is the latency for analog inserts, in case you use them with your digital built in mixer.
The proper way to do it is (what would be the latency what you hear in your headphone during recording):
Feed a signal on Input L (I just clap my hand on an open mic line)
Record Input L onto Audio Track1 and monitor your recording from audio Track1 on Output R.
Patch Output R to Input R (analog) and record Input R simultaneous to Audio Track 2 with Track1.
Compare both Audio Tracks = latency.
