8.1.2 Read mode: data byte LEVEL
After AF update sampling the level read value is held (indicated by IFCM = 10) for easy
I
2
C-bus read-out. The level detector remains active in the background. The LEV data hold
is released after I
2
C-bus read.
To reduce the influence of modulation in AM mode the LEV information is additionally
filtered by a slow 60 ms detector. Fast level information is made available during
AF update and check tuning.
For standard operation the following level alignment (byte LEVELALGN; see Table 43) is
used:
FM and AM level slope; ∆LEV = 51 (∆V
LEVEL
= 0.80 V) at ∆V
