96 Chapter 7 Metering Tools
Using the MultiMeter Peak Parameters
The MultiMeter Peak parameters are used to enable/disable the peak hold function and
to reset the peak segments of all meter types. You can also determine a temporary peak
hold duration.
• Hold button: Activates peak hold for all metering tools in the MultiMeter, as follows:
• Analyzer: A small yellow segment above each 1/3 octave level bar indicates the most
recent peak level.
• Goniometer: All illuminated pixels are held during a peak hold.
• Correlation Meter: The horizontal area around the white correlation indicator denotes
phase correlation deviations in real time, in both directions. A vertical red line to the
left of the correlation indicator shows the maximum negative phase deviation value.
You can reset this line by clicking it during playback.
• Level Meter: A small yellow segment above each stereo level bar indicates the most
recent peak level.
• Hold Time pop-up menu: When peak hold is active, sets the hold time for all metering
tools to 2, 4, 5, or 6 seconds—or infinite.
• Reset button: Click to reset the peak hold segments of all metering tools.
Surround MultiMeter
The surround version of the MultiMeter is specifically designed for analysis and metering
of multichannel surround files. You can view either the Analyzer, Goniometer, or Correlation
Meter results in the main display area. Use the controls on the left side of the interface
to switch the view and set other MultiMeter parameters. The (Peak/RMS) Level Meter is
visible on the right.
