Dynamic Meters

Dynamic meters can be applied at various points in the design to monitor signal level when online to a device. The signal level will display signals of -30dB up to 20dB, while the text box will give an actual reading down to -80dB then -infinity. Hover the mouse over any wire in the design in either operate mode or when online and the dynamic meter will appear showing the signal level at that point. Click on the white 'push-pin' at the bottom of the meter to pin it to the wire so that it will not disappear when the mouse is moved away. This will allow you to view more than one dynamic meter at a time. Up to 20 dynamic meters can be used in any device. The number of dynamic meters for a device can be set in device properties. It is possible to un-pin the meters, by clicking on the 'push-pin' again, thus enabling you to create new meters again.

When you come back offline the meters will disappear from the design.

The default number of meters for a device is set at 2, however, if a design is loaded from an earlier version of HiQnet London Architect (pre 1.18), the meters will be set to 0 so that the design continues to compile to the same amount as previously.

The configuration window needs to be at 100% zoom in order for the dynamic meters to work.
