Secondary Limits Menu

This menu page is used to set additional thresholds according to in-house regulations for example. If secondary limits are indicated as exceeded, the engineer can regulate the program early enough to keep it in balance to the main limits allowed.
Maximum values can be set for TruePeak, Momentary, Shortterm, and Integrated. For Integrated both a minimum and maximum value can be defined. When collecting data with the LQL PC software, exceedings of the main limits can be indicated and logged.

  

Please note:
The thresholds set with the Main Limits menu represent individual marks to be helpful for monitoring and potential correcting of a running program. They don't limit or process the actual measurements of TPmax, Mmax, Smax, and Integrated at all.

  

Please note:
The secondary limits are set as factory defaults to match with the main limits.

  

 
 


Settings  

  

• Maximum TruePeak
This key is used to define a secondary limit for the maximum TruePeak value. If it is exceeded, the actual program material should potentially be corrected. Therefore, the secondary limit for TruePeak should be set to a tighter value than the corresponding main limit (see example below).

Options:

  

–18 .0 dBTP to 0.0 dBTP in steps of 0.5 dBTP

Default value:

  

–3.0 dBTP

  

• Maximum Momentary
This key is used to define a secondary limit for the maximum Momentary value. If it is exceeded, the actual program material should potentially be corrected. Therefore, the secondary limit for Momentary should be set to a tighter value than the corresponding main limit (see example below).

Options:

  

–18 .0 LU to +9.0 LU in steps of 0.5 LU

Default value:

  

+8.0 LU

  

• Maximum Shortterm
This key is used to define a secondary limit for the maximum Shortterm value. If it is exceeded, the actual program material should potentially be corrected. Therefore, the secondary limit for Shortterm should be set to a tighter value than the corresponding main limit (see example below).

Options:

  

–18 .0 LU to +9.0 LU in steps of 0.5 LU

Default value:

  

+3.0 LU

  

• Minimum Integrated
This key is used to define a secondary limit for the minimum Integrated value. If it is underrun, the actual program material should potentially be corrected. Therefore, the secondary limit for Integrated should be set to a tighter value than the corresponding main limit (see example below).

Options:

  

–18 .0 LU to +9.0 LU in steps of 0.5 LU

Default value:

  

–1.0 LU

  

• Maximum Integrated
This key is used to define a secondary limit for the maximum Integrated value. If it is exceeded, the actual program material should potentially be corrected. Therefore, the secondary limit for Integrated should be set to a tighter value than the corresponding main limit (see example below).

Options:

  

–18 .0 LU to +9.0 LU in steps of 0.5 LU

Default value:

  

+1.0 LU
