4.3 A/C Weighting Selection
басыңыз A/C button to toggle between A-weighting and C-weighting. The selected weighting will be indicated on the display.
- А-салмак салуу: Simulates the human ear's response to sound, commonly used for environmental noise measurements.
- C-салмак салуу: Provides a flatter response, suitable for measuring peak sound levels or noise from machinery.
4.4 Fast/Slow Response Time
басыңыз F/S button to select between Fast and Slow response times. The chosen response time will be shown on the display.
- Fast Response: Captures rapid changes in sound levels (e.g., impulsive noise).
- Жай жооп берүү: Provides an averaged reading, suitable for measuring steady noise levels.
4.5 MAX Hold Function
басыңыз MAX Hold button to freeze the highest measured sound level on the display. Press it again to exit MAX Hold mode and resume real-time measurements.
4.6 Диапазонду тандоо
басыңыз RNG button to cycle through available measurement ranges. This allows for optimal resolution across the meter's 40 to 130dB range.
4.7 Recording Max/Min Values
басыңыз REC button to begin recording the maximum and minimum sound levels. Press REC again to stop recording. The recorded MAX and MIN values can then be viewдисплейде ed.
