Peaks
The numeric peak levels displayed on the mixer display bus meters have a variable threshold. The level
at which these values are displayed can be set in the C:\Program
Files\ Fairlight\FMC\Data\System_Variables.txt file. Edit the following line in the file:
PEAK_DISPLAY_LIMIT,950
The value is from 0 to 1000 in 0.1dB steps where 1000 = full scale level. In the example above the
value of 950 will cause the numeric display to first be shown when the signal level reaches -5dB below
full scale. 970 will set the threshold to -3dB, 990 will set the threshold to -1dB, and so on.

Signal levels in excess of 0dB full scale are indicated by a fixed orange peak hold display. To reset the
peak hold display:
Step 1
