Meters
These Component Objects provide signal present, peak, and RMS metering functions. Meters may be connected to
any component output, and may be used for diagnostic and setup purposes, or for applications which require real-time
metering. Meters are available in pre-defined configurations, however, the configuration may be customized when
being placed from the Object Toolbar.
Once a Component Object is placed into the Layout, all available settings can be accessed by double-clicking over the
object. This produces a Control Dialog Box, which displays the component controls in a more conventional user
interface.

see RMS Meter Control Dialog
Right-clicking over the object provides a pop-up menu of options. Control Dialog Boxes for Meters components can
be minimized to create user control surfaces (see Customizing Component Objects).
Control Dialog
Signal Present Meter Control Dialog
Threshold determines at what level the signal present indicator
will light. Identifier provides a custom label, when dialog box
is minimized (see below).
Right-clicking over certain settings will provide a menu of
additional options. Control Dialog Boxes for Meters
components can be minimized to create user control surfaces
(see Customizing Component Objects).
Peak Meter Control Dialog
A peak-reading meter & numeric display indicate signal level. Hold Time
determines how long the meter will display the most recent level increase. Hold
Enable turns the Hold Time function on/off. Indefinite Hold causes the Hold
function to be continuous, updating the display only when levels increase
beyond the current reading. Identifier provides a custom label, when dialog
box is minimized (see below).
