Audio Note
The Audio Note function allows you to record notes and information before a
measurement by simply speaking into the microphone. You can then play them back
later in the AnalyzerPlus software.
Please note, Audio Notes are recorded BEFORE the measurement starts and are for
spoken notes only, not for analysis of recorded sounds.
Timers
The single and repeat timers allow you to make precisely timed measurements over pre-
set or custom defined durations, which are set on the instrument using the Storage
Options Menu.
Single Timer
The single timer allows you to set a precise time that a single measurement will run for
as soon as you start measuring. The Nova® can still be paused, stopped and started
manually when the single timer is active.
Repeat Timer
The repeat timer allows measurements to be stopped and started automatically over a
long period of time. The Nova® can still be paused, stopped and started manually when
the repeat timer is active.
The repeat timer is synchronised to the real time clock, so if you choose a 30 minute
duration the measurement will begin on the hour or at 30 minutes past. When the
measurement ends, a new one will begin and last for the next 30 minute interval.
If the Nova® is paused when an automatic timer begins, the new timed measurement
will also be paused.
Please note, after 5 minutes in Pause the Nova® will restart.
Back Erase/Pause
Pause
The Nova® sound level meters provide Pause and Back Erase function which can be
used during a measurement.
When the Pause function is enabled in the AnalyzerPlus software, the Stop button is
replaced by the Pause/Stop button. This also enables the Back Erase function, the
duration of which can also be set in the AnalyzerPlus software.
