  • Page 2 Diagram of set-up...

  • Page 3: What Is Soundlog

    In a room that is primarily filled with people-related noise it is a good idea to set the red arrow at 70 decibel. In this way, SoundLog will record all noise between 52 and 100 decibel. Now hang SoundEar® on the wall.

  • Page 4: Installing The Program

    You are now ready to import the SoundLog’s noise recording into the computer program. First you will need to install the program onto your computer. Please remember to check, afterwards if there are any newer versions/updates of the program on our website www.soundear.dk/soundlog/downloads.
  • Page 5 You will now see the menu in the language of your choice. The program is now ready to import the measurements SoundLog has recorded. Connect one end of the cable enclosed to your computer’s COM port. Connect the other end to the SoundLog (please see diagram on page 3.).
  • Page 6 The following picture will appear on your screen: “Import recording”: Once SoundLog and your computer are connected using the cable enclosed, press “Import”. This will take a few minutes. If the import process fails to commence, it could be due to an incorrect COM port setting (menu 3).
  • Page 7 We recommend that you save it as the name as suggested. In this way, the reading will be saved in the folder that the SoundLog program already created on your hard disk and is therefore easy to retrieve when you are ready to see the reading as a graph.
  • Page 8 STEP 2 The import of your measurement is now complete and you will return to the main menu again: Let’s move on to step 2, where you can see your recording as a graph or bar chart. Press the red arrow next to Step “2”. The following picture will appear on your screen “Select the reading(s) you want to view”.
  • Page 9 The following picture will appear on your screen: This screen consists of a graph, a graph selector and the main menu. You can drag and place these elements around the screen as you see fit. Let’s have a closer look at the graph: You can make the graph bigger by dragging its perimeters to the size you want using the mouse.
  • Page 10 You can now move on to choosing other layouts for your reading(s) by using the ”Graph selector”. As mentioned previously, the graph selector is used for choosing which kind of layout you wish to see the readings in. The top row of the graph selector shows the three possibilities: Noise graph, noise dose and background noise.
  • Page 11 Remember – SoundLog measures 30 dB(A) above and 18 dB(A) below the SoundEar®’s reference point. (To set the reference point, turn the red arrow at the back of the SoundEar®.). Remember also to set the reference arrow on your SoundEar® relatively low if you want to measure background noise.
  • Page 12 Remember to save any graphs and bar charts that you would like to be able to retrieve later. Attach the SoundLog to your SoundEar again so you are ready for a new recording to be commenced. Have fun!

  • Page 13: Advanced User Possibilities With Soundlog

    Advanced user possibilities with SoundLog Filter settings (”You have selected the following reading(s)”.) The following picture will appear on your screen: ”Whole series only”: The graph will now only show whole periods of time, so that measurements that start after the whole hour, day or week have commenced are not included.

  • Page 15: Settings

    The two tabs at the top provide the following possibilities: GENERAL: When you import a reading from the SoundLog, it is saved as a data file. These data files are then used to construct graphs and bar charts. If you choose to save graphs, these are saved as graph files.
  • Page 16 FILTER SETTINGS: Please see page 14 ”Advanced user possibilities with SoundLog”, where the filter settings are described. Please note that the changes you make and store in “Filter settings” are general. They will therefore apply to all the readings you want to see displayed as a graph in future.
