Display Mode - Moving Coil Instrument
In display mode, the TouchMonitor shows the instruments and their layout defined in the currently loaded preset.
Touching the screen area of an instrument will put this instrument into focus. This is recognized by a colored frame instead of a grey one. The frame color conforms to the identifier set for the group the focused instrument belongs to.
The Control Bar positioned at the lower screen edge contains several keys. It is displayed permanently if the "Control Bar" option in the "General" section of the "System" menu is set to "permanent". Otherwise, it will be displayed temporarily after touching the screen.
The Control Bar has two sections. The left (upper) section shows the specific keys defined for the focused instrument. This makes it very fast to access a specific function of one of the instruments on screen – just touch the instrument and select the desired function.
Please note:
The specific keys that are displayed in the left (upper) Control Bar section can be defined individually for each instrument. To do this, touch the "Edit Instrument" key and select the "Configure Keys" option in the menu. The default value for each key can be set in the menu as well.

The Moving Coil instrument features a genuine emulation of various moving coil level meter types.
Using PPM, VU, or loudness modes, the L and R channels of a stereo signal can be displayed in one single (L/R or M/S) or two separate moving coil instruments. If two separate instruments are used, they may be displayed in horizontal or vertical arrangements.
Another mode provides a combination of stereo PPM and summed loudness meter. This kind of instrument includes the PPM in horizontal dual mode and an additional scale with a cyan-coloured needle to display one of the loudness values M, S, or I.
