RTW SW20014 Logging Data Server Software Option

Comprehensive Loudness and Peak Data Logging for RTW TouchMonitor Systems

The RTW SW20014 Logging Data Server Software Module is a powerful add-on for RTW TouchMonitor TM7, TM9, and TMR7 models. This software enables detailed loudness and TruePeak data collection for professional broadcast, production, and post environments. Designed to meet modern loudness compliance requirements, the SW20014 module records and stores audio measurement data either locally on a USB drive or remotely over IP using the LQL Loudness Quality Logger PC software. It provides engineers and technicians with precise, trackable insights into loudness behavior across time, helping ensure adherence to regional standards and in-house quality regulations.

Streamlined Loudness and TruePeak Data Management

The SW20014 module captures detailed loudness and TruePeak data from up to two audio groups simultaneously. Each recording session can be stored directly on a USB flash drive or transmitted in real time via IP connection to RTW’s LQL Loudness Quality Logger software. This seamless integration supports continuous monitoring and long-term data logging, making it ideal for broadcast stations and post-production facilities that must maintain consistent loudness records for regulatory compliance or client review.

Flexible Storage and Network Integration Options

Engineers can choose between USB and IP-based logging modes depending on their workflow. In USB mode, data is collected and saved locally, allowing for quick portability and archiving of loudness logs. IP mode enables real-time data transfer to a connected PC running the LQL software, providing a live graphical view of the measured data for instant analysis. Each TouchMonitor can also be identified with a unique device name and password, allowing secure and organized integration into networked environments.

Customizable Thresholds for Loudness Compliance

The SW20014 module includes configurable main and secondary limits for maximum momentary (Mmax), short-term (Smax), integrated loudness (I), and TruePeak (TPmax) levels. These customizable markers allow users to define specific monitoring criteria that align with industry standards such as EBU R128, ATSC A/85, or internal corporate guidelines. The system visually indicates when measured values exceed defined limits, providing immediate feedback for maintaining consistent loudness output during production or broadcast.

Clear On-Screen Feedback and Operation

The module’s on-screen interface provides real-time status indicators to keep users informed during operation. In IP mode, users can view LQL access status, while USB mode displays active logging processes, remaining disk space, and data storage progress. Logging can be controlled either automatically through LQL or manually via the TouchMonitor’s control key, ensuring flexibility for both automated and hands-on workflows. These intuitive controls make loudness monitoring straightforward and efficient even in demanding production setups.

Ideal for Broadcast, Post, and Quality Control Applications

Whether used for loudness compliance tracking, audio quality verification, or long-term broadcast monitoring, the SW20014 Logging Data Server module enhances the functionality of RTW TouchMonitor systems. By combining precision measurement with versatile data management tools, it provides a complete solution for professionals who demand reliable loudness documentation and streamlined reporting. Installation of the SW20002 Loudness and SPL Display module is required for activation, ensuring full compatibility with existing loudness measurement tools on the TouchMonitor platform.
