SFCD: Federal Commander Digital System - Federal Signal

Recording Control
Federal Commander Digital System
The Record Control button displays the Windows® Record Control panel. Use this panel to adjust
the Live PA input level.
VU Peek Meter
Adjust the Microphone level so the VU Peek Meter sweeps full scale on voice peeks. The VU
Peek meter is color coded as follows:
Green: Level below peek
Yellow: One or more samples at or above peek.
Red: More than 5% of samples at or above peek.
The optimum level is obtained when the color is alternating between green and yellow with
normal voice. Reduce the level if red is easily achieved, however occasionally hitting red is
satisfactory.
Program Mode
Program Mode allows the configuration of hotkeys. When program mode is enabled, clicking on
a hotkey will bring up the Program Hotkey screen for the respective key. To enable program
mode, check the Program Mode check box located on the Activation Hotkey screen.
