An S meter signal strength meter is an indicator often provided on communications receiver s, such as amateur radio receivers or shortwave broadcast receivers. The scale markings are derived from a subjective system of reporting signal strength from S1 to S9 as part of the RST code . The term S unit can be used to refer to the amount of signal strength required to move an S meter indication from one marking to the next.

A TDS Meter indicates the Total dissolved solids Total Dissolved Solids TDS of a solution , i.e. the concentration of dissolved solids in it. Since dissolved ion ionized solids such as salt s and mineral s increase the Conductivity electrolytic conductivity of a solution, a TDS meter measures the conductivity of the solution and estimates the TDS from that. Dissolved organic solids such as sugar and microscopic solid particles such as colloids, do not significantly affect the conductivity of a solution so a TDS meter does not include them in its reading.

merge Time signature discuss Talk Additive meter Merger proposal date April 2010 In music, additive meter refers to a pattern of Beat music beats that subdivide into smaller, irregular groups. This is opposed to divisive or multiplicative rhythms or meters, which are produced by multiplying some integer unit into regular groupings forming beats of equal length London 2001 . Such meters are sometimes called imperfect , in contradistinction to perfect meters in which the Bar music bar is first divided into equal units Read 1964, Page number date December 2010 . Additive meter is common in Music of Eastern Europe Eastern European musics , and contemporary compositions attempting to emulate such a sound. For example, a time signature like 9 8 is normally subdivided as 3 3 3, or nine eighth notes with three to a beat. However, the composer or Conducting conductor may specify an additive meter for passages of music where it is more natural to conduct with a different pattern. Hence, a meter like 9 8 may instead be subdivided as 2 3 2 2 for musical effect most commonly such an additive meter is used when Accent music accented notes or Syncopation syncopated patterns do not match up with the normal subdivision. Flamenco music, for instance, is full of additive meter, particularly in rhythms of 10 3 3 2 2 . Alfred Reed s Armenian Dances Part I contains a movement written in the nonstandard time signature of 5 8, which can be conducted as either 2 3 or 3 2 depending on which is more musically natural.

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 A peak meter is a type of visual measuring instrument that indicates the instantaneous level of an sound audio signal that is passing through it a sound level meter . In sound reproduction , the meter, whether peak or not, is usually meant to correspond to the perceived loudness of a particular signal. In modern audio equipment, peak meters are usually made up of a series of LED s small lights that are placed in a vertical or horizontal bar and lit up sequentially as the signal increases. There are many variations on how this is implemented. They typically have ranges of green, yellow, and red, to indicate when a signal is starting to overload . The term peak is used to denote the meter s ability, regardless of the type of visual display, to indicate the highest output level at any instant. A peak meter can also be implemented with a classic moving needle device such as those on older analog equipment similar in appearance in some ways to a pressure gauge on a bicycle pump , or by other means. Older equipment used actual moving parts instead of lights to indicate the audio level. Because of the mass of the moving parts and mechanics, the response time of these older meters could have been anywhere from a few millisecond s to a second or more. Thus, the meter might not ever accurately reflect the signal at every instant of time, but the constantly changing level, combined with the slower response time, led to more of an average indication. By comparison, peak type metering is designed to respond so quickly that the meter display reacts ... ear works much more like an average meter than a peak meter.

A selenium meter is a light measuring instrument based on the photoelectric properties of selenium . The most common use of such light meter s is measuring the exposure value for photography. The electric part of such a meter is an electromagnetic measuring instrument which is connected to the anode and cathode of a selenium photo cell that produces more or less electric power when exposed to more or less light. The optical part of such a meter is a window in front of the photo cell s light sensitive side. The window s surface is usually structured like a honeycomb made of convex lenses. This type of window helps to bundle the light coming from the direction in which the photo cell is pointed.
