Due to internal buffering, a single email may contain alerts for multiple time periods, and/or multiple
statistics configurations.
This ensures that alerts are not discarded due to bad network status.

3.4 Industrial Noise Monitor

When Ngara is configured for Industrial Noise Monitor operation, it provides an additional processing channel. This
channel consists of a configurable band pass filter, with the band edges being those defined for 1/3 octave bands and
range from 10Hz to 20kHz. See Section 4.5.8 for details on updating the band edges using the on-board interface.

3.4.1 Additional Data

Band filtered logger data is stored to Comma-Separated-Variable (CSV) files. These files are rotated every hour on
top of the hour, with filenames corresponding to the time and date. The filenames are distinguished from the all
pass result files with a bpv file extension. When found in session data directories, these files are automatically added
to statistics conversions providing a full secondary output file solely for the purpose of band filtered statistics.
Following is the header information stored at the beginning of each each file.

Data is then stored into each CSV file every 100ms. Each new line entry is a snap-shot in time of the band filtered
logger data, with the description of each column shown in Table 12.
