The level meter value ''v''<sub>t</sub> (t = sample index) is computed for each value ''x''<sub>t</sub> of the input signal <var>X</var>. The last ''v''<sub>t</sub> of an evaluation cycle is used to update the outputs <var>Y</var> and <var>P</var>.

=====Function:=====
 
This function implements a set of magnitude measurement methods. If input X is a number, a peak value for each sample is computed. If input <var>X</var> is a vector, only one peak value for the vector is computed.
 
The computed peak value is converted to the selected unit/mode before it is written to the output. For the relative output modes (<var>UNIT</var> equal 2 or 3) the value of input <var>REF</var> (>0) is used as the reference value.
 
The output <var>M</var> is set to the maximum of all computed <var>Y</var> values (<var>M</var>(t) = max(<var>Y</var>(0), <var>Y</var>(1), .., <var>Y</var>(t)).

Description

The level meter value vt (t = sample index) is computed for each value xt of the input signal X. The last vt of an evaluation cycle is used to update the outputs Y and P.

TYPE computation of vt
0 or HOLD {\displaystyle v_{t}=\max(|x_{t}|,|x_{t-1}|,..,|x_{t-T+1}|)\!}
1 or EXPONENTIAL {\displaystyle v_{t}=max(|x_{t}|,v_{t-1}.k){\mbox{, with: }}k={\frac {1}{\sqrt[{T}]{2}}}}
2 or RMS {\displaystyle r_{t}={\frac {(r_{t-1}.(T-1)+x^{2})}{T}}}
{\displaystyle v_{t}={\sqrt {2.r_{t}}}}

The last value vt of an evaluation cycle is converted to the selected UNIT and stored in the output Y.

UNIT Y
0 or VALUE {\displaystyle v_{t}\!}
1 or SQUARE {\displaystyle v_{t}^{2}}
2 or RATIO {\displaystyle {\frac {v_{t}}{REF}}}
3 or DB {\displaystyle 20.\log _{10}{\frac {v_{t}}{REF}}}

The output P is set to a value in range 0 to SIZE and can be used to display a level bar. For P always the logarithmic value (level in dB) is used. The level interval -140dB to 0dB is mapped to the position interval 0 to SIZE using a non-linear mapping function.

The output M is the maximum of all computed vt values converted to the selected output unit.
