MSD Software Manual PRELIMINARY Release Chapter 9 Utility Functions.
9.3.2 Logging Interval.
The Logging Interval can be set in the range of 1 second to 240 seconds (4
minutes).
To set the ‘Logging Interval’ enter the setup menu by pressing the [SETUP]
key. In the setup menu use the arrow [] / [] keys to move the green
selection bar to the field called ‘Logging Interval (sec)’ and press the
[SELECT] key. The ‘SECONDS’ menu will now appear. From this menu use
the arrow [] / [] keys to set the interval in seconds. Press [EXIT] when
done.
Below the Logging Interval is listed relevant logging information including start
time, end time, elapsed time and the maxavailable logging time. The maximum
logging time is limited by the MSD’s internal available data memory, the
selected logging rate plus the number of channels selected. The longer time
between each log entry the longer maximum logging time. For a two channel
system with a logging time set to one minute (60 Seconds) the maximum
logging time will be 12 hours equal to 720 log entries.
9.3.2 Trigger Events.
When the Session Log is adding entries to the log it always logs the highest
PPM-Bargraph reading since the last log entry. In addition to that the ‘Session
Log’ also checks for mutes and overs (digital full-scale samples).
For the mute trigger event it is possible to set a threshold for which the signal
must be below before it can trigger an event. In addition to that the period in
which the signal is below this threshold can be set. This way short breaks in
music or in an interview can be filtered out, only letting longer muted periods of
the source signal trigger the event. The mute threshold can be set in the range
of -80 to –40 dB. The duration of a mute can be set from 1 to 20 mSec.
To set the threshold for the mute press the [SETUP] key and use the arrow
[] / [] keys to move the green selection bar to the field called ‘Upper
limit for a mute [dB]’ and press the [SELECT] key. From this menu
use the arrow [] / [] keys to set the interval in seconds. Press [EXIT]
when done. To set the duration of the mute use the same procedure as for
setting the threshold but select ‘Milliseconds for a mute [ms]’ instead.
The trigger event for ‘overs’ can be configured to filter out short peaks in the
signal by only triggering on longer peaks where the signal is ‘clipping’. The
number of samples that triggers an ‘over’ can be set from 1 to 15. If all ‘overs’
should be logged, just set the trigger event to 1. To set the number of full-scale
samples that triggers ‘overs’, use the same procedure as for setting the
threshold for a mute, but select ‘Full-scale samples for over’ instead.
9.3.3 Create and Inspect a Session Log.
A Session Log is created simply by pressing the [RESET] key in the Session
Log Menu. Pressing the [STOP] key will stop the logging and make it possible
to inspect the Session Log Entries. As soon as the logging is started a time
code is shown on the yellow bar in the top of the session log window. During
the logging the highest reading will be marked with a [*].
When the logging is stoped press the [INSPECT] key to enter inspect mode
where it is possible to scroll the green selection bar through the log entries.
When logging is stoped the total amount of ‘mutes’ and ‘overs’ will be
calculated and the timecodes will be added to the end of the log.
