All rights Window Size -Sets the window size that is used in the Histogram mode Continuous -Continuously measuring the Loudness regardlessof the state of host playback. Elapsed -Pauses the measurements if the host pausestheplayback. Time Code - Loudness data is stored against the timecodeposition.

5 This mode enables the Loudness overdub mode. System Time -Choose this option to select a systemclock(HH:MM:SS) reference. System time mode will allowevents tobe correlated with the system clock. This mode willbe usefulto track Loudness measurements of live events andotherscheduled Histogram view -Shows or hides short term, momentaryor truepeak values from the Window control -Shows a macro overview of thehistogramhistory stored within the plug-in.

It will change its color tored if a value hasbeen drawn from an incomplete buffer. It needs topass 3 seconds forthe buffer to become complete and to have true loudnessrepresentation.

7 If the plugin host supports it, youcan set a 3 secondspre-roll window to compensate for that. If the currentvalue is from anincomplete buffer, it will be inserted only if thereare no previousmeasurements from the complete buffer on that the complete buffer will overwrite all the Loudness target -Shows the Loudness target thatwas set in Incomplete buffer -Marks where the values fromthe incompletebuffer were Paused -Marks where the measurements for integratedandloudness range were Youlean 2016-2021.
