Quick Start
The System 824 instrument provides simultaneous measure-
ments of sound pressure level using Fast, Slow, Impulse,
Peak and Leq detectors with A, C, and Flat weighting cover-
ing a large dynamic range of greater than 105 dB in the LOG
and ISM instrument and 80 dB in SSA instrument.
With the System 824 calibrated, the desired instrument defi-
nition selected, and its associated settings properly config-
ured, you can easily take a measurement and examine the
readings from the data collected. Taking an actual measure-
ment with the System 824 is as easy as pressing the
s
(RUN/STOP) key.
This chapter helps users begin using the System 824 imme-
diately. This chapter will present the following:
• Turning on and Calibrating the System 824
• Taking Measurements and Storing Data
• Recalling Stored Data
• Deleting Stored Data
• Selecting and Modifying Instrument Definitions (IDs)
