4.4.1. 1/1 OCTAVE analyser of acoustic signal
In order to select the instrument’s acoustic mode the user has to enter the CHANNELS SETUP list
by pressing the <MENU> push-button, selecting by means of the <
>, <
> (or <
>, <
>) push-buttons
the INPUT text and pressing the <ENTER>, and then enter the CHANNELS SETUP the same way like in
previous and chose number of CHANNEL to configuration. In the MODE sub-list the user can select the
kind of input signal which has to be measured or analysed by the instrument. In the case of acoustic
signals the SOUND METER option should be selected Then by pressing <
>, <
> push-buttons user
has to change SOUND mode and press the <ENTER> push-button, which closes the MODE sub-list. The
MODE sub-list is closed ignoring any changes made in it, after pressing in any time the <ESC> push-
button.

The instrument’s operation as 1/1 OCTAVE analyser is similar to the SLM measurement mode.
1. In 1/1 OCTAVE analysis the spectrum is available in parallel to the SLM operation. All 15 digital pass-
band filters (with the centre frequencies from 16 kHz down to 1 Hz; in base two system) are working in
the real time with the weighting filters: HP, LIN, A or C selected in the SPECTRUM of the
1/1 OCTAVE SETUP sub-list, user has to select number of CHANNEL to configure the filter, and the
linear RMS detector. Additionally, the TOTAL RMS values for the full frequency range with the A, C
and LIN (Z) weightings are displayed. In order to inform the user about the working mode of the
instrument, in one profile and 3 PROFILES modes of result’s presentation the doted line are used for
the indication that the instrument do not work in the SLM mode. In the SLM mode the continuous
lines are used.

Notice: The TOTAL RMS results are measured with the weighting filters: A, C and LIN
without taking into account the setting of the SLM profiles. The spectra are always linearly averaged.
Thus, the TOTAL values from 1/1 OCTAVE analysis can be different from those obtained for the SLM
profiles (if the RMS INTEGRATION was set as EXPONENTIAL).
2. As 1/1 OCTAVE analyser the instrument operates in two input ranges 105 dB and 130 dB, which can
be selected by means of the RANGE position.
In order to change the mode of the measurement results presentation the user has to press the
<
> or the <
> push-buttons. The following modes are available:
One profile, 3 PROFILES, SPECTRUM, STATISTICS and PLOT.
