6.1.3 Audio metering
Four stereo meters are displayed for the PGM, PST, AUX1 and TX audio channels. Double
markers on the sides of each bar indicate the line-up level for the meter.
6.1.4 Real time clock
In stop-watch mode the time of day display (HH:MM:SS) is provided in 24 hour format, as
illustrated. This time is derived from the station TC input. If no input is present, the clock will
free run.
6.1.5 Stop-watch and timer modes
The timer modes shown on the plasma display are configurable. For details of how to
configure them see section 7.1.3.1. The subsequently available modes are either stop-watch
or timer mode.

6.1.5.1 Stop-watch mode
If stop-watch mode is selected then the current count is displayed along with three button
controls for the stop watch, as illustrated. The stop-watch can count up or down (from a
preset value) and can be reset. The count down preset value is selected using shaft encoder
one to set the MMM value. The shaft encoder second from the left is used to set the SS
value.
The stop-watch is locked to the station TC input. Due to this feature a count started half way
through a second will count that half second as a second to keep in step with the station TC.
