It is a statistical measure used to determine the effective or average power of an audio signal. It calculates the square root of the average of the squares of the signal's instantaneous values. | | --- | --- | #### Tone Detector | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a3e67867-6316-451b-94ad-ec727ac9102a/Images/Documentation/image(305).png) | Monitors audio signals and triggers when it detects a specific frequency at or above a set volume level. | | --- | --- | ####
