Audio Paning and Meters

Hi, a newbie here, sorry if this is the wrong place. When Panning a stereo track why don't the audio meters show the change in signal level from one side to the other? Is it the case that the metering is completed before panning takes place? Is there a setting to change this? Thanks.

That's a good question. I see the Main track reflecting the change, but not the track itself.
