Signal Presence Component

The Signal Presence component detects the existence of an output signal based on an adjustable Peak Threshold and Hold Time for the peak.

Note: The number of signal pins is variable and set in the component's Type Property.

Input Pins

Channels

Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line. You can use Signal Names on audio signal pins.

By default, the Signal Presence component is set to a Mono channel, which provides one input. Additionally, you can set the Properties to allow for Stereo, which gives you two inputs; or you can choose Multi-Channel, which will allow you to choose between 2 and 256 inputs.

Output Pins

This component does not have any output pins available.

Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.

Signal Presence Properties

This component has no configurable properties, other than Channels.

Channels

Type

Sets the Type of Channel available.

Count

Sets the number of Channels available for Multi-channel.

Input Indicators 1 ton

The indicator(s) turn green when the input signal reaches the Peak Threshold, and will stay green until the input signal drops below the Peak Threshold, and the Hold Time expires.

Peak (dB)

Sets the peak value of the Input signal that will cause the Input indicator(s) to turn to green.

Hold Time

Sets the time that the indicator(s) will stay green after the peak value of the Input signal drops below the Peak Threshold setting.

Infinite Hold

Causes the Input indicator(s) to stay green, after the peak value of the Input signal reaches the Peak Threshold setting, until the button is released. This is useful when you want to leave the component unattended for a period of time and want to know if the Peak Threshold is reached during that period.

The available Control Pins depend on settings in Properties.
