• Use the Real Time(R) menu to run or stop real time sound monitorin g , set up or clear the
graph. Details are shown above the graph.
• Real-time mode must be stopped to set the sampling rate. Note that this is not the sampling rate
of the meter, but the rate with which the software reads the meter.
• Zoom in on the graph b y s el ecting an area with left click, d rag and release . To go b a ck to full
screen graph, cl ick on the UnDo Zoom button.
• When in zoom mode, click on the Graph(G) menu and select Histogram. Click anywhere in the
graph to change the appearance to a histogram. Go to the Graph(G) menu, select Line and
click anywhere in the graph to change the appearance back to line.
• Also in zoom mode , d ouble click left mouse button on a point of the graph will set a green mark
line. Double click left mouse button again to set a second mark line (blue). Data between the two
mark lines is analyzed (e.g. max. value, min. value, average…) and shown below the graph. To
remove the mark lines, click on the right mouse button or double click left mouse button on a
new point in the graph.
• To save the real-time data, stop real-time monitoring and start it again. At this point, the
software will ask to save the previous graph data. Data is saved as a text file.
• To analyze previously recorded meter data, select the DataLogger(D) menu. Note that this will
not work when the meter is in record mode. A new screen opens; refer to Figure 5 on page 3 of
this manual for a screen shot.
• The data is copied from the meter to the software memory and deleted from the meters’
memory. T o sa v e the data on the com p uter, use the Save Data(S) menu. If not, when
closing the application the data will be lost.
• Double click left mouse button on a file to see the data. The graph also has the zoom and mark
lines functions.
• It is po ssible to recall previously saved records with the Import Data (I) menu.
• To print the graph, use the Print Data (P) menu.
8. Battery replacement
• To replace the battery, switch off the meter first.
• Open the battery cover [Q]. Push gently on the mark ( ) and slide the cover ±1cm downwards
and lift.
• Remove the old battery and insert a new 9V battery. Respect the polarity.
• Place the cover on the back of the device and slide upwards. Make sure all keys are in place and
the battery cover is closed completely.
