the Reset button will reset the meter and de-
scriptor history.
Radar Resolution parameter
Parameter settings: 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 dB/div
Use the Radar Resolution parameter to set the
difference in loudness between each concentric
circle in the Radar between 3 and 12 dB.
Choose low numbers when targeting a platform
with a low dynamic range tolerance. You may
“zoom” between the settings, as long as the his-
tory isn’t reset.
Momentary Range parameter
Parameter settings: EBU +9, EBU +18
Use the Momentary Range parameter to set the
range of the radar meter.
EBU mode meters can to display two different
momentary displays: One with a narrow loud-
ness range intended for normal broadcast and
denoted “EBU +9”, and one with a wide loudness
range intended for film, drama and wide range
music denoted “EBU +18”.
– The “EBU +9” setting gives a momentary me-
ter range from -18 to +9 LU.
– The “EBU +18” setting gives a momentary
range from -36 to 18 LU.
Low Level Below parameter
Parameter settings: -6 LU to -30 LU in 1 LU steps
Use the Low Level Below parameter to set the
transition between the colors blue and green on
the momentary ring. It indicates that the level is
at the risk of being below the noise floor.
Create Log File parameter
Parameter settings: On, Off
Set the Create Log File parameter to On to start
creating log files in the folder defined with the
Log File Folder parameter.
Log File Folder parameter
(LM6n only)
Use the Log file folder parameter to set the folder
on your computer’s hard disk where LM6n log
files should be stored.
– Click the Choose button.
– Select a folder.
– Click OK to confirm.
The selected folder will be displayed at the bot-
tom of the Settings page.
Reveal in Windows Explorer /
Reveal in Finder (LM6n only)
Click this button to reveal (open) the folder de-
fined with the Log file folder parameter.
Loudness Unit parameter
Parameter settings: LUFS / LKFS / LU/LUFS /
LU/LKFS
Use the Loudness Unit parameter to choose be-
tween LKFS and LUFS depending on preference
and region.
– LKFS is the unit for loudness according to the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
– LUFS is the unit for loudness according to the
European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
– LU is the unit for loudness relative to the tar-
get value according to the ITU and the EBU.
If you use the LU/LUFS or the LU/LKFS setting,
the Radar will show LU values, while for instance
Target Loudness will be displayed as LUFS or
LKFS respectively.
Loud(ness) Standard parameter
Parameter settings: BS.1770-3, Leq(K)
Use the Loud(ness) Standard parameter to
set the loudness standard that measurements
should adhere to.
Sliding Loudness Time (Slid.
Loud. Time) parameter
Parameter settings: 3, 6, 10, 15, 30 sec, 1, 2, 4,
8 min
When Sliding Loudness is selected as Descriptor
1 or 2, use the Sliding Loudness Time parameter
to set the window for analysis. E.g. if 6 seconds
