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.
