TERL (Telco Echo Return Loss) The TERL meter shows the coupling between the transmit signal and the input to
the telephone echo canceller. It is the ratio of the two levels.
TERLE (Telco Echo Return Loss Enhancement) The TERLE meter shows the loss through the telephone echo
cancellation process. It is the ratio of the two levels.
Threshold The upper or lower level at which a signal processing begins or terminates.
