Meters

These Component Objects provide Signal Present, Peak, RMS, and Logic 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.

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).
