Setting The SPL

Date / Time

This field enables the user to set the date and time in the SPL for a future logging period.
This logging period is only if the operator wishes to record from a specific time. The SPL
will log data continuously at the set intervals set by the sample rate as a default.

Sample rate:
The sample rate is the rate the data is stored at. The SPL samples the Voltage and
current at a continuos rate of approx 11Khz per channel then averages the voltage and
current over the time interval set by the data collecting storage rate “sample rate”.

Location

The location is a max of 8 characters. This is for setting the location to identify where the
reading was taken.
The Location can be altered in the SPL if it is moved from one location to another
between data downloads. It creates a new header so the the data can be identified
when down loaded for separation to a different file if required for post analysis.
