Configuring Scheduled Measurements; Adding A Timed Measurement - Cirrus Research Dosebadge 5 User Manual

Configuring scheduled measurements

The scheduled measurements function is powerful and unique function of the doseBadge
It allows the user to configure the instruments to start, pause and stop at specific times throughout the day
and to enable or disable the schedules for specific days of the week.
This allows instruments to be configured ready for use before they are needed.
For example, instruments can be configured ready for a night shift and can be given to workers ready for the
shift. Measurements will be made automatically and stored in the instrument ready for download the next day.
The overall Scheduled Measurement function can be enabled or disabled via NoiseTools, the RC:120A
dBConnect or the dBLink App.
If a doseBadge 5 is connected to a powered Dock, the scheduled measurements will not be activated.
If a scheduled start is missed (if the badge is still on the Dock for example) the instrument can be started
manually and any subsequent automatic measurements will trigger as intended.
An example of where this can be used is as follows:
1. Configure the instruments to start measuring at 8am and run for 8 hours
2. Calibrate the instrument(s)
3. Leave the instruments on the Dock ready for deployment
4. Give the instruments to the workers to be measured before 8am
5. Measurements will start automatically at 8am and run for 8 hours
6. At 4pm the measurement will stop
7. Return the instrument to the Dock for charging & download
8. Repeat the next day

Adding a timed measurement

To add a timed measurement, click on the "Click to add a Measurement".
Choose the Start Time and the Duration of the measurement. NoiseTools will show the stop time based on the
start time and duration.
The time and duration can be selected either by typing it into the box or by using the pre-set selection.
