7.3 Storing the Measurement

SoundAdvisor Model 831C
A measurement often needs to be reset when a radical noise event takes place that is
unnecessarily recorded in your data. For example, an aircraft passes overhead when
attempting to measure the background noise in a normally quiet area.
To reset a measurement in progress, stop the measurement, then press the Reset
erases all data previously measured and resets the run time clock to zero. A reset doesn't
reset stored data files, only the current run. A reset can be initiated when the 831C is
running, paused, or stopped.
Current measurement data is not automatically saved. You must manually store
CAUTION
the data or use an Auto-Store option. Once you store, your data is not lost during a reset. If
you initiate a reset while a measurement is running or paused, the 831C automatically
stops the measurement.
When you stop the 831C during a run or a pause, this stops the run clock. Resuming a run
continues the overall measurement; the run clock also begins again from the time
indicated when the stop occurred.
