File Structure
The CSV file consists of multiple lines of data, each line
terminated by the file systems line terminator (CR+LF in
Windows). Data elements within a line are separated by
commas. The first line in the file is not log data, it is the
variable name of the corresponding data in subsequent lines.
If the lines are viewed as rows in a table, the first line is the
column headings. If a new version of Sentinel software is
installed it is advisable to verify that the heading format
generated by the new software matches your spreadsheet
columns.
20C148-20110914222210.csv
This was downloaded from Sentinel #20C148. The log data it
th
contains begins on September 14 , 2011 at 22:22:10 GMT.

The next section is general reading data. The first four entries
are flags which describe the operation of the loudness meters.
The first (loud_new0) indicates that the integrated loudness
value appearing later in the record is a final value (immediately
before the meter was reset). The next indicates whether this
value represents a program or commercial. The third flag
indicates whether the real time loudness readings represent a
program or commercial. The last is asserted when the
loudness meters are reset. A detailed description of the
program / commercial stream measurement architecture can
be found in Qualis Audio Technical Note #1, Loudness
Measurements and the CALM Act.
The next 20 entries are true peak meter readings for the
surround, ancillary and downmix channels. These are in
dBFS. The next 8 readings represent normalized surround
channel loudness. The loudest channel is determined and
used as a reference. Its loudness is set to 0. The loudness of
all other surround channels is expressed relative to this
reference.
The next 16 entries are the error flags for the surround and
ancillary channels. These error flags are combined into a
single integer using the bit weights given in the table. For
example, the simultaneous occurrence of a hum error and an
underlevel error would result in a value of 40.
The next 20 entries are the level meter readings for the
surround, ancillary and downmix channels. These are in
dBFS.
The next 9 entries are the mono spectrum for the 9 octave
bands from 63 Hz to 16 kHz. The following entry is the LFE
channel bandwidth in Hz. This is the frequency below which
90% of the LFE channels energy is contained.
The following 27 entries are the left, right and mono downmix
compatibility measurements for the 9 octave bands from 63 Hz

module slots. These can be decoded with the table below:
