G. Printout
The Sound Level Meter produces a hard-copy of the information accumulated
during the total RUN MODE period. When used with the filter set OFF, this
information includes :
1. Meter WEIGHTING and RESPONSE settings.
2. LEQ, MAX, MIN, and SEL Levels.
3. RUN TIME and OL TIME.
4. Table of EXCEEDANCE LEVELS (dB)*
*EXCEEDANCE LEVELS: Tabulated from 1 to 99, the SPL level that was exceeded
for x percentage of time. (See Figure 5, Sample Printout.)
If an OB-100 or OB-300 is used as part of the sound measuring system, all of
the information above the OCTAVE FILTER SET header will pertain only to the
last Octave Band measurement. This allows the user to perform, for example,
a 500 Hz Octave Band Measurement on "A" Weighting, "SLOW" Response, and
obtain a printout that includes proper switch settings and exceedance levels
for that frequency.
NOTE: For forty column printers, the Sound Level Meter allows for
a compressed print mode. Pressing the HOLD button before printing
causes the meter to send a printer control code [ LPRINT CHR$ (15) ]
that produces a compressed print form for many printers. Consult your
printer manual for details.
