16
Meter Rows
Two 64 channel bargraph rows are supported which can be assigned to either MADI input or
output or either the I/P or O/P expansion bus. If the second row is turned off, the first row is
scaled to fill the screen.
Ranges and colors
Each bargraph may be split into three different colored sections, over-range, upper-range and
lower-range.
The break points can be chosen for groups of 2/4/8/16 or 32 bars or for all bars or for an
individual bar (by selecting a specific bar in the break point sub-menu).
Upper and lower analog bar range points may be set between -30 and 12 dB in 1 dB steps.
The digital upper range points may be set between -30 and 0 dB in 1 dB steps. The digital lower
range point may be set between -50 and -10dB in 1dB steps.
Note:
If only one or two colors for each bargraph are preferred, then the upper and lower range points
may be set to an equal level or changed to the same color.
Bar labels
In default mode channels are labeled numerically. Labels of up to 16 characters long may be
created either by using a keyboard attached to the PS2 socket on the front of the unit or by using
the SOFT-xx Configuration and Monitoring software.
If a keyboard is connected into the front of the unit, keyboard mode will be available when Labels
is selected. The attached keyboard can then be used to enter text directly at the cursor position
which will initially be below the first left hand bar on the screen. Customized labels up to 16
characters long can be entered. Use the up/down keys to change character position, the delete
and backspace keys to change text and the keyboard left and right keys to move to another bar.
Note:
The US keyboard layout is used.
Labels may be in one of the following formats: Text, Rotated Text, Numeric, Rotated Numeric and
Off. The label color may be any named color available. These choices affect all labels.
Peak hold indicators
Peak hold indicators are provided for all channels. The delay time before decay may be set
according to requirements and includes an ‘infinite’ setting which indicates the maximum level
attained over any period of time until it is reset. This is carried out by briefly pressing the
‘Lock’ button when in the normal operating mode. Peak Hold color may be any named color
available.
Bar width, position and spacing
Bar width can be adjusted for all bars or for selected bars. If it is adjusted for all bars the effect
will be to scale all the bars horizontally on the display. Bargraphs spacing may be adjusted
between all Left and Right bars and for spacing between all L/R pairs and between selected bar
pairs. Width and spacing is adjusted in pixels.
All bars may also be adjusted together for horizontal and vertical position. There is no
horizontal/vertical setting for individual bars.
