3D display. The unit calibration in this document, the analog output of the sound level meter is connected to the CH1 of the CF-7200 and the level range is selected as 100 dB. Throughout this document, the name of any soft key on the screen will be presented in square brackets (e.g., [MAIN]), and the name of any operation button on the panel will be enclosed by single quotation marks (e.g., 'START').

The level range of the sound level meter is selected as 100dB, so -6dB of it is 94dB. The unit calibration of the CF-7200 is to match the overall value of the power spectrum and the displayed value (94dB) on the sound level meter.

5. Setting the voltage range Use the up and down arrow buttons in the CH1 section on the operation panel to select a proper voltage range in such a way that the 'RANGE OVER' lamp does not turn on and the green lamp is on. (If you consider about the max.

When the level range of the sound level meter is changed after the unit calibration, it is necessary to change the range of the CF-7200 as well. For example, when the range is changed from 100 dB to 90 dB, the AC out is amplified by +10 dB and outputted.

How to apply the A-weighting filter It is possible to apply A-weighting filter to the CF-7200 side instead of applying it to the sound level meter. There are two methods as follows. Please be careful not to apply frequency weighting to both sides of sound level meter and CF-7200.

Frequency A-weighting setting waveform -10. Start the measurement with the ‘START’ button on the operation panel and stop the measurement with the ‘STOP’ button. Perform analysis in the arbitrary frequency range. 7. Measurement and averaging The following description assumes that the measurement will be made using the power spectrum arithmetic averaging function.
