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:
Ovl
Percentage of the overloaded input signal, which occurred during the current time period of the
measurement (T)
Lpeak
Peak sound level is calculated for the given T
