764 Digital Audio Monitor User Manual

There are two types of time-stamped information, peak readings and
error events. Peak readings are the highest true peak and the highest
meter reading encountered during each consecutive peak reading
interval in the session. An error event is a clip, mute, invalid sample,
parity error, or code violation episode, consisting of at least one such
error.

The time stamp is the hour:minute:second:frame when the peak or
error occurred, in the time format — Session, VITC, or LTC — se-
lected through the Time Code submenu.

Use the following procedure to output a session report:

1. Connect the 764 to the printer or PC. Cable requirements are

explained under Using the RS-232 Port beginning on page 62.

2. Select the appropriate communications and report options (flow

control, baud rate, type of report, and peak reading interval)
through the Serial Port submenu; for more information, refer to
Serial Port Submenu beginning on page 58. Be sure to set the
Copy selection to either SHORT REPORT or LONG REPORT.

3. Run a session.

4. Stop the session, but do not reset it. Press the Copy soft button

(feature

in Figure 23 on page 29). The 764 will send the report

to the printer or PC, indicating the remaining number of lines on
the bottom of the display. Press the soft button a second time to
cancel the report.
