Fab Filter ProL meter ?

Both readings in the main meters are output levels. Input peak levels are displayed in the scrolling graphical display. AFAIK there is no option to see input RMS. There wouldn't be much point in monitoring input RMS levels, would there? 

See what I mean?
 

Anytime some body says RMS in the context of audio levels, there is an unspoken variable; Time duration of the range of sampling.
 
I think if anyone will take a quick look at that screen shoot and then consider the specifics of my question that, at the very least, the nature of the question will make some sense.
 
I posed the question because I had the same reaction as Bitflipper; "why would anyone want to do that?"
 
I'm just trying to figure out what's going on, so I'm open to correction or confirmation.
 
Why is the little white RMS line hovering down near the input peaks? The little white line seems to be tracking the inputs peaks right where I would anticipate if I was thinking of the RMS equivalent.
 
It looks to me like the bar meter RMS read out is tracking the little white RMS line.
 
Which suggest to me that the bar meter RMS readout is tracking the input.
 
 
It seems weird.
 
I've only owned my license long enough to get curious about the tutorials. I honestly thought everyone would know about this and just confirm that this is the way it is.
 
Can someone go look at their instance and offer a more considered opinion after observing the details I am pointing out?
 
Thanks!!!
 
 
all the best,

Thanks Bit,
 Is the 2 seconds documented somewhere? I must admit, I installed my stuff and started using it then watched some videos to learn about the extra built in features. I haven't read any docs yet. :-)
 
 I have observed that the RMS meter on Elephant seems to be averaged across the entire track... at the end of the song it takes a long time for the silence to impact the "average" level.
 
 With ProG where the RMS level is so much lower than the peaks I would have guessed that the time period would be even longer than 2 seconds.
 
 I had, I suppose, mistakenly assumed the RMS was not meant to serve as "averaged" the way that Elephant's read out works because the value seemed to refresh more frequently. I jumped to the conclusion that it was meant to seem nearly instantaneous.
 
 I guess it's another meter ballistic that I'll want to learn to get to know. :-)
 
 Sort of like when mixing and matching mechanical VU metering with electronic PPM... after a while you get a feel for how they relate.
 
 best regards,

Thanks Drew,
 I should have thought of 1 right off the start.
 
 2 seems easy to understand once someone states it as clearly as you just did.
 
 The advice seems perfect for nut like me. :-)
 
best,
mike

Thanks very much.
 
You're the best!
