MultiMeter Analyzer parameters
In Analyzer mode, MultiMeter’s main display shows the frequency spectrum of the input signal
as 31 independent frequency bands. Each frequency band represents one-third of an octave.
The Analyzer parameters are used to activate Analyzer mode and to customize the way that the
incoming signal is shown in the main display.

MultiMeter Analyzer parameters
•
Analyzer button: Switches the main display to Analyzer mode.
•
Left, Right, LRmax, and Mono buttons: Click to determine the channels shown in the Analyzer
results in the main display.
•
Left or Right: Displays the left or right channels.
•
LRmax: Displays the maximum level of the stereo inputs.
•
Mono: Displays the spectrum of the mono sum of both (stereo) inputs.
•
View elds: Drag to alter the way values are shown in the Analyzer by setting the maximum
level displayed (Top) and the overall dynamic range (Range).
•
Mode buttons: Click to determine how levels are displayed. You can choose from Peak, Slow
RMS, or Fast RMS characteristics.
•
The two RMS modes show the eective signal average and provide a representative
overview of perceived volume levels.
•
The Peak mode shows level peaks accurately.
•
Scale (shown in main display): Indicates the scale of levels. Drag the scale vertically to adjust.
Changing the scale is useful when you are analyzing highly compressed material because it
makes it easier to identify small level dierences.
