The point where the two green lines intersect marks the quietest recording in
the displayed measurement, the so-called “leak value”.
Leak value (lowest value to be displayed)
The leak value refers to the quietest recording in the displayed measuring
period. The values of this recording are shown in the three fields directly
under the diagram:
Left-hand field … ESA value of the recording
Centre field … Noise level in dB for the quietest measurement
Right-hand field … Frequency of the noise in Hz

6.1.2 Checking the system settings
Before a measuring session, check that the Commander’s system settings are up-todate and correct (see page 25). The date and time settings in particular must be correct.
6.1.3 Registering loggers in the Commander and specifying the
workgroup
The loggers to be used for an impending measurement must be registered and
combined in a group (see page 23) in the Commander.
To specify the workgroup (see page 14), select the symbol in the main menu bar,
open the Group Management menu and select a group in the list of registered logger
groups (marked with an X).
However, a lot of menus in Professional mode also have a drop-down list at the very top
of the screen. It can be used to access a group list directly and select a workgroup.

6.2 Managing the loggers
All loggers to be used for a measurement must be registered in the Commander
beforehand. Only registered loggers can be programmed and read. Registration is
performed either by manually inputting the logger ID or by automatic wireless detection.
The registered loggers are combined in groups.
6.2.1 Managing logger groups in the Commander
Introduction
Managing groups
Defining a workgroup
Creating a new group
All loggers registered in the Commander must be assigned to a group. The Commander
can only communicate with one of the logger groups created, the so called “workgroup”
(see page 14).
Logger groups can be created, deleted, copied and renamed directly on the
Commander.
Select the symbol in the main menu, and the Group Management button in the
next view, to go to the menu for managing logger groups. All the registered logger
groups are listed.
The workgroup is marked with an X in the view. To turn another logger group into the
workgroup, select the list and then a group.
To create a completely new logger group in the Commander, proceed as follows:
Step Description
1 Select the Add button.
Result: A new view opens.
2
Select the group mode (see page 13) for the new group and confirm with OK.
After the group is created, the group mode can no longer be changed.
All loggers in a group must belong to the same group mode as the
group itself (e.g. a “Lift&Shift” group may only contain “Lift&Shift”
loggers).
Result: A new view opens.
3
Enter a name for the new group. Use the virtual keyboard for this.
To complete the input, select the ENTER button.
Result: The new group is now created in the Commander. The display jumps
automatically to the Logger Management menu.
4
Use this menu to assign loggers to the newly created group (see page 47).

Renaming a group
Copying a group
Deleting a group
You can rename an existing logger group.
First select the particular group in the list and then select the Rename button. In the
following screen views, enter a group mode (see page 13) and the new name of the
group.
The group then appears with the new name in the group list.
You can copy an existing logger group, with all its loggers, within the list and allocate a
new name and new group mode to this copy. (This can be useful if, for example, you
wish to use the loggers of an existing “Lift&Shift” group for the next measuring
assignment, but would like to read out data by “Patrolling”.) The new group
automatically adopts the configuration data of the original group but contains no
measured data at all.
First select the particular group in the list and then select the Copy button. In the
following screen views, enter the group mode (see page 13) and the name of the new
group.
The new group then appears in the group list. If needed, more new loggers can now be
allocated to it (see page 47).
You can delete a logger group from the Commander.
First select the particular group in the list. Then select the Delete button and answer the
confirmation query with Yes.
If the loggers in this group are not contained in any other existing groups, deleting
simultaneously de-registers them from the Commander. The measured data of the
group is retained in the history as long as the “History” function is active (see page 26).
Otherwise the data will be lost.

6.2.2 Managing the loggers in the Commander
Select the symbol in the main menu, and the Logger Management button in the
next view, to go to the menu for managing loggers. The loggers of the workgroup (see
page 45) are listed.
If the incorrect group is displayed, you can use the pull-down menu at the top edge of
the screen to change the workgroup.
If you do not wish to allocate a new logger to an existing but to a completely new group
instead, this new group must be created beforehand (see page 45).
Registering loggers
using automatic
detection
A logger can be registered using “automatic detection”. For this purpose, it has to be
close to the Commander and switched off. Proceed as follows:
Step Description
1 Apply the Add logger button.
2
Switch the logger on.
Result: Directly after it is switched on, the logger sends a signal with its
identification number a few times. Once the logger is detected by the
Commander, New ID found appears on the screen. The ID of the logger is
displayed underneath.
3 Select Accept to add the logger to the group or Decline to discard it.
4
If you want to number the loggers consecutively, stick the supplied selfadhesive label with the number of the automatically assigned comment on the
logger (see below).
5
Use the same method to add all the other new loggers to the group. When
loggers need to be switched on, always bring them close to the Commander
singly. This is because only the last detected ID is shown on the screen and
able to be registered.
6 Apply the Finish button to complete the procedure.
Result: The registered loggers are now shown in the list.

Numbering loggers
Changing a comment
A logger can be registered manually by entering its ID. Proceed as follows:
Step Description
1 Apply the Add logger button.
2
Type in the logger’s six-digit ID using the displayed keyboard (see page 14).
Confirm the input with the ENTER button.
Result: The registered logger is now shown in the list.
3
If you want to number the loggers consecutively, stick the supplied selfadhesive label with the number of the automatically assigned comment on the
logger (see below).
4
To add further loggers to the group, repeat steps 1 to 3.
A comment is automatically left on every logger, when it is registered. The first
registered logger gets the comment “LOG001”, the second one “LOG002” and so on.
This way, the loggers of a group are consecutively numbered.
Self-adhesive labels with the same numbers come supplied. Sometimes it can be
helpful to put the labels, with the relevant numbers, on the loggers directly after
registration. Thus, the loggers can easier be identified on-site.
You are able to change the automatically assigned comment of a logger in the displayed
group. Proceed as follows:
Exchanging loggers
Step Description
1
Select the logger in the list to change its comment.
2 Apply the Change comment button and use the displayed keyboard to change
the text in the following view.
Confirm the input with the ENTER button.
Result: The changed comment is now shown in the list.
You are able to delete a logger in one step from the displayed group and to replace it
with another logger. This may be necessary if, for example, an individual logger
develops a fault and needs to be replaced with a new one. Proceed as follows:
Step Description
1
Select the logger that needs to be replaced in the list.
2 Apply the Replace logger button and use the displayed keyboard to enter the
ID of the new logger to be put in the group.
Result: The new logger appears in the list instead of the old one.
If the old logger is not contained in any other existing group, deleting simultaneously deregisters it from the Commander.
The measured data of the old logger is deleted within the group. However, it is retained
in the history as long as the “History” (see page 26) function is active. Otherwise the
data will be lost.

Deleting loggers
You can delete a logger from the displayed group. Proceed as follows:
Step Description
1
Select the logger in the list.
2 Apply the Delete button and answer the confirmation query with Yes.
Result: The logger is no longer contained in the list.
If the logger is not contained in any other existing group, it is simultaneously deregistered from the Commander.
The measured data of the logger is deleted within the group. However, it is retained in
the history as long as the “History” (see page 26) function is active.
