− | The CPU-load bar shows the CPU usage as calculated by the Jack Audio Server: | + | By default, Audio Peak-meter is shown. The meter covers the range -50dBFS to 0dBFS, i.e. maximum permissible level at full scale (far right) down to 50dB below that at far left: |
| + | |
| + | * The green segment covers the range -50dBFS to -10dBFS. |
| + | * The yellow segment covers the range -10dBFS to -3dBFS. |
| + | * The red segment covers the range -3dBFS to 0dBFS. |
| + | |
| + | There are independent meters for left and right channels which monitor the system output, i.e. the mix of audio that feeds the Zynthian output. Level decays with a logarithmic rule, taking one second to decay to -200dBFS so will decay to -50dBFS (the displayed range) in about quarter of a second. Peaks are displayed instantly, i.e. the attack of the meter is immediate(*). The peak hold bar remains for two seconds or until a higher peak is reached. |
| + | |
| + | (*) Meter is updated 5 times per second so there could be 200 ms delay in peak being displayed. |

| + | Alternately, CPU-load bar can be enabled from webconf, replacing the Audio Peak-meter. The CPU-load bar shows the CPU usage as calculated by the Jack Audio Server: |
