4.5 Digital Meter
The Digital Meter object is a numerical level display. 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 Digital Meter you create takes some processing time
from the host computer. This means that the more Digital Meters you create, the slower their response. To place
a Digital Meter on a graphics plate, choose Digital Meter from the Toolbox. The Digital Meter Attributes
window (Figure 4.12) will then open so you can configure it. Its attributes are described next.
Component List: Selects the IQ component to which the Digital Meter will be linked. All IQ components that
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 Digital Meter will monitor. The function list will change to
match the IQ component selected in the component list.
Channel: Selects the channel which the Digital Meter will monitor. This attribute will not be available for some IQ
components and some functions.
Input: Selects the input which the Digital Meter will monitor. This attribute will not be available for some IQ
components and some functions.
Max Level: Sets the maximum level for the Digital 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 Digital 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.
