Level RMS

The analog Level RMS function measures the RMS level of the digital

input signal. Since the Digilyzer has no information about the reference

voltage, such as the

• value to digitize the analog signal

• value to convert the digital signal into the analog domain

The RMS values are displayed as relative numbers compared to a

sine wave signal with 0 dBF (peak value).

result and unit: The RMS level of the individual selected channel

can be displayed in three different units:

• dBr (decibel relative)

• % (percent of full scale)

• x1 (number)

In case the measured RMS value is smaller than -100 dBr, the

Digilyzer displays “<-100 dBr“.

Filter: The audio signal decoded from the digital audio stream can

alternativelly be filtered with the following filters prior to the RMS

or THD+N calculations:

• HP400, highpass 400 has a good rejection in the area of main

frequencies – so hum problems may be easily examined and

localized. The HP400 is also used to measure quantization

noise.

• 22-22k, bandpass 22-22k is used to define the commonly used

measurement bandwidth from 22Hz to 22kHz.
