Measurement functions | Simultaneous measurement of the following items, with selected time weighting and frequency weighting | |||||
Processing (main ch) | Instantaneous sound pressure level: Lp Equivalent continuous sound pressure level: Leq Sound exposure level: LE Maximum sound pressure level: Lmax Minimum sound pressure level: Percentile sound levels: LN (0.1 to 99.9 %, 0.1-increment steps, max. 5 values) |
|||||
Processing (sub ch) | Instantaneous sound pressure level: Lp | |||||
Additional processing | In addition to main processing items, one of the following can be selected for simultaneous processing: C-weighted equivalent continuous sound level: Lceq C-weighted peak sound level: Lcpeak Z-weighted peak sound level: Lzpeakエ-time-weighted equivalent continuous sound level: LAエeq*2 Maximum エ-time-weighted equivalent continuous sound level: LAエmax*2 The power average of the maximum level of each 5 second interval: LAtm5 The frequency weighting for the additional processing synchronizes with the frequency weighting of the sub-channel, so when the sub-channel has A-weighting, LAtm5 can be selected. When C-weighting (Z-weighting ) is selected, the additional processing LCeq and LCpeak (LZpeak) are selectable. |
