Default C/R Monitor calibration setting

Is there a way for the C/R Monitor display to show a calibrated SPL display? It is pretty common for Film/TV mixers to have the room calibrated to a specific dB for monitoring (79, 83, 85, etc.), but the display on the knob only seems to show full scale monitoring (the number is anywhere between -95.50 and +31.00).

On the ICONs, this was a pretty simple change. You hold down the encoder for 3 seconds and then you turn it to select the display you want. I can not for the life of me figure out how to change this on the S6.

Any ideas?

This is not implemented on S6 yet but there is a EUCON command called fixed level so it will be eventually. But this would only be reliable for 1 setting not a few as the difference in db would vary from studio to studio depending on room size, speaker sensitivity etc. So whilst you could line your room up to say 85, turning the volume down to 79 may or may not actually be 79 in your room.

Its on the list to do but as there is an easy workaround other things are taking priority at the moment.

I can't tell you how frustrating this is in post. Whether a work around exists or not this should be a top priority.
