4.4 Bar Meter
The Bar Meter object is a bar graph that dynamically displays a level. For example, it can provide real time display
of the signal levels of amplifiers with IQ P.I.P.s and some IQ mixers. Each Bar Meter you create takes some
processing time from the host computer. This means that the more Bar Meters you create, the slower their
response. To place a Bar Meter on a graphics plate, choose Bar Meter from the Toolbox. The Bar Meter
Attributes window (Figure 4.9) will then open so you can configure it. Its attributes are described next.
Component List: Selects the IQ component to which the Bar Meter will be linked. All IQ components that
Fig. 4.9 Bar Meter Attributes Window
appear in the control blocks and all IQ2 components whose UCODE (OIF file) is visible to Turbo will appear in this
list.
Function List: Selects the specific function that the Bar Meter will monitor. The function list will change to match
the IQ component selected in the component list.
Channel: Selects the channel which the Bar Meter will monitor. This attribute will not be available for some IQ
components and some functions.
Input: Selects the input which the Bar Meter will monitor. This attribute will not be available for some IQ
components and some functions.
Max Level: Sets the maximum level for the Bar Meter. In this way, you can limit the display range of the object
to tailor the meter to the type of signal it will monitor.
Min Level: Sets the minimum level for the Bar Meter. In this way, you can limit the monitor range of the meter
to tailor the meter to the type of signal it will monitor.
