measurement, or download data at any time.
In addition to this manual, the G4 LD Utility Manual and the SoundAdvisor 831C Manual
contain a great deal of information about making measurements using Larson Davis
instruments. This module refers you to each of these manuals as needed.

For convenience, a default setup file for the NMS044 is included on the 831C. The file is
named after the system. It contains metrics that are commonly used when measuring
outdoor noise, such as:
• Measurement History with 1-hour measurement intervals
• Time History with 1-second updates to view noise as a function of time.
• Daily results
• Event Triggers, configured to send email alert notifications (when email is set
up on the 831C).
Additionally, you may want to customize the SLM meter settings for your measurement.
Complete the following processes to review and customize the SLM settings for your
measurement.
