Theme Selector: White, Classic, Dark, Retro or Deluxe
Channel Selector: click to select the channel mode. Single meter display: stereo, left, right, mid and side channel. Dual meter display: left/right, and mid/side channel.
Note for single meter display (stereo channel mode): Meter modes RMS, RMS +3, VU and PPM: channels are averaged. Meter modes Peak: channel max. Meter modes EBU ML, EBU SL: channels are summed (as described in EBUR128 spec)
Current Meter Value: readout of current meter value
Max. Meter Value: readout of max. meter value, click to reset value,
Meter Modes: Peak: RMS: 600ms integration time, -20/+3 scale RMS+3dB: 600ms integration time, +3dB compensation according to AES-17, -20/+3 scale EBU R128: ML and SL loudness measurement, -20/+3 scale Classic VU meter with dB and VU scale Classic PPM Meter with BBC and EBU scale
Pre-Gain: depending on the Channel Selector it controls the volume of the channel, click with right mouse button for numerical input. Double click resets value.
Gain Link: (dual screen only) sets both gain knobs together
Gain Match: matches the max. value with the reference value of corresponding meter mode by adjusting the pre gain value automatically. single needle mode: pre-gain is calculated based on the max. value dual needle mode: pre-gain is calculated based on the highest max. value of both channels and set to both pre-gain controls
Instance Label: click on the label to change the name of the plug-in instance.
Needle Mode: click to change the function of red needle, off, current or max. value.
Hide/Show GUI Elements: click to show/hide different controls like GUI scale, FPS, channel mode, current/max readouts, gain link/gain match button.
Single/Dual meter display: enables either single or dual meter display.
GUI Scale: mouse click and drag the bottom right scale icon.

Configuration page:

Meter Modes: peak, RMS, RMS+3, EBU, VU, PPM Reference. Level: sets the reference level in dB(FS) for the current meter mode. E.g. reference level for classic VU meter is -18dbFS Delay: delays the meter activity so it is time-synced with other busses with different latencies. OL (overload) LED mode: meter 0 = if needle is above meter zero or digital peak = if above OL LED level (in dBFS) OL (overload) LED level: LED lights if digital signal level is above value Needle hold time: determines how long current meter value is held
