9/29/09 Using the 824 Utility Software 10-35

RT60 Measurements

Both the 824 instrument and the 824 Utility software round

the RT60 values to two decimal places. However, because

the 824 uses logarithmic arithmetic to calculate the RT60

value and the 824 Utility software uses double precision to

calculate the value, there may be small differences in the

values as reported by the 824 instrument and by the 824

Utility software.
