Under its full part number, CEL-6842, the dB24
software matches perfectly with the new CEL-240 sound level meters and provides for the
display of measurements taken with the meter in industrial
hygiene or general purpose noise surveys. The software is provided as an
optional extra to the standard
measurement kit. It is also available initially for the CEL-240 as part number CEL-240/K2. It can also be added to any standard CEL K1 noise meter
kit by specifying the CMC51 cable and CEL-6842 software CDROM.
The dB24 software allows the user to view the
currently selected sound level meter settings and results on screen using an
image of the sound level meter as the user interface. It will be an attractive
addition to teaching applications were a full view of the noise levels are
useful for students involved in learning about the science of acoustics.
As a standard feature the software will allow
the user to open a text file in the form of a comma separated variable format
and save the instantaneous results every second to the hard drive of the
computer. This allows for extended data logging using the customer's own
computer as the storage medium.
Results for the A and C weighted sound level
with the customer selected time response are saved in the text file for later
investigation and printing. This standard format file can be easily opened with
today's spreadsheet packages and graphs of the noise level against time produced
for reports.
The spreadsheet graphing function allows the
user to see the time history variations that occurred during the measurement to
highlight the times when specific hearing protection must be worn or noisy
machinery needs to be investigated further. Since both the A and C frequency
weighted sound levels are available the user has some basic information on the
frequency content of the noise in question that can be useful for the correct
prescription of hearing protectors.
