Default dBFS

I'm trying hard to see an answer to my question in what you wrote and
failing.

Let me respond to you with this question: If you had a meter that
-24 dBFS with a Fs/4 sine wave, what would the peak value of the
sine wave be?


I don't know what a Fs/4 sine wave is.

If the meter is reading -24 dBFS, and it's a 16 bit system, that
means the peak value of the waveform is 0x1FFF, right? Because
it's one-eighth of the full scale value.
