Making a Measurement
M
aking a measurement on the SoundAdvisor can be as simple as
viewing a live reading of the area using the Big Digit display, or as
sophisticated as setting it up with environmental accessories,
deploying it in the field, and logging measurements when the sound
level is above 80 dB over the course of many months in all weather
conditions. For both tasks, understanding the basics of measurement
making is essential.
Quick Measurement Steps:
Step 1 Power On the SoundAdvisor.
Step 2 Navigate to Overall display.
Step 3 Press Run 9.
Step 4 When finished, press Stop 7.
Step 5 Press Store 7 and save your data file.
