6-6 824 Reference Manual 9/29/09
The two possible output signals are on the tip and the ring of
the 3.5mm jack. The sleeve is ground. The selection in the
824 controls settings lists the signal output on the tip first,
followed by the signal output on the ring. The AC output
signal is always amplified or attenuated by the gain or
attenuation selected for the instrument. For example, if one
were using an SSA instrument with 20dB of gain, the AC
output would also have 20 dB of gain from the input*.
*Also take into account a gain of
approximately -0.25 dB in the
PRM902 preamplifier.
The DC output voltage is proportional to the SPL specified
by the weighting setting according to this formula
StartLevel is a setting on the Ln settings menu. DC out has a
range of 120 dB.
The output signals will vary based on which instrument type
is used. For LOG and ISM instruments, the following table
defines the output signals.
For SSA instruments, the following table defines the output
signals
(output amplitude based on input Gain setting).
