    One of the level ranges can be selected at a time. 3.5 Display devices S50 Sound Level Meter shall be connected to the INFRA Field Monitoring System which has several capabilities of displaying the measured signals. The resolution is 0.1 dB. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2003-2014...
  • Page 14: Interval Files

    In order to enable long cables and low power of the communication, the transfer capabilities between S50 and the Datalogger are rather slow. It transfers approx. 0.15 s of S50-data per second or 0.4 s of vibration sensor data per second. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2003-2014...
