NAME¶

jack_meter - Console based Digital Peak Meter for JACK

SYNOPSYS¶

jack_meter [ -f freqency ] [ -r ref-level ] [ -w width ] [-n ] [ <port>, ... ] jack_meter -h

DESCRIPTION¶

jack_meter is a basic console based DPM (Digital Peak Meter). I wrote it for quickly checking remote signal levels, without having to run X11 to use a pretty graphical meter such as meterbridge. The port parameter is optional - when missing then you have to connect up the meter to an input port manually. If more than one port is specified then the inputs are mixed.

OPTIONS¶

-f freqency

 

How many times per second to refresh the meter. Default is 8.

-r ref-level

 

The reference signal level for 0dB on the meter.

-w width

 

The width of the meter (number of characters). The default is 79, one less than the typical terminal width. -n

 

Outputs meter level as a number in decibels instead of a bar graph display.
