D.1.2 Definitions and formulas of SLM results
The instrument calculates the sound measurement results for three profiles. The calculation flow diagram
for one profile is presented below:
Percentage of the overloaded input signal, which occurred during the current time period of
the measurement (T)
Peak sound level is calculated for the given T
