Chapter 8 Metering 131
 In the Correlation Meter, a growing horizontal area around the white correlation
indicator shows any phase correlation deviations—in both directions. A vertical
red line to the left of the correlation indicator permanently shows the maximum
negative phase deviation value. You can reset this line by clicking on it during
playback.
 In the Level Meter, a small yellow segment above each stereo level bar labels the
most recent peak level.
 Hold Time pop-up menu: When peak hold is active, sets the hold time for all metering
tools to either 2 s, 4 s, 5 s, 6 s or infinite.
 Reset button: Click to reset the peak hold segments of all metering tools.
Graphic Display
Displays either the Analyzer or Goniometer in the center of the window. The
Correlation Meter always appears in the bottom of the window, and the Level Meters
always appear on the right side of the window.
Using the MultiMeter
The following section provides information on using the different meters in the
MultiMeter.
Analyzer
The Analyzer displays the frequency spectrum of the input signal in 31 independent
frequency bands. Each frequency band represents one-third of an octave.
You can display only part of the input signal using one of the channel buttons. Select
either the Left or Right button to view these channels independently, select LRmax to
see the maximum band levels of either channel, or select Mono to view the levels of
the stereo signal as a summed mono entry.
You can alter the scale of values displayed in the Analyzer in several ways. Use the View
parameters, which let you set the maximum level displayed and the overall dynamic
range, by vertically dragging the dB scale on the left edge of the Analyzer. Adjusting
the scale is useful when analyzing highly compressed material, so that you can identify
smaller level differences more easily by moving and/or reducing the display range. You
can also change the range (the minimum and maximum values displayed) by vertically
dragging in the Analyzer display area, and adjust the maximum value shown by
dragging vertically in the display area.
The two RMS modes with Slow and Fast response settings show the effective signal
average, and provide a representative overview of the perceived volume levels. The
Peak mode shows level peaks accurately.
