Signal Recording (Optional Module)

• All Events, if you want to start and stop the recording based on any of the events
Note: When Recording Control set to any of the events, you can limit the duration of
the recording, if Duration Limit is set to On. In this case the recording will be at least
Minimum Duration long, but no longer than the Maximum Duration. Use
Pre-recording Time and Post-recording Time to specify how much extra you want to
be recorded before and after the event
• Off, if you do not want to record the signal
6) Set Recording Quality to High, Medium, Fair or Low in accordance with your needs,
note, however, that the high quality requires more disk space than low quality – details
in Appendix A.
7) Set Recorded Signal to either Input A/B-weighted, Input C-weighted or Input Z-weighted
(A/B-weighting is determined by setting the parameter in Setup > Frequency
Settings > Broadband (excl. Peak)). Input C-weighted is suitable for recordings used
afterwards to identify the sound source – it contains all the audible content of the signal,
but reduces the low-frequency noise from wind, etc.
8) Set Automatic Gain Control to On if you just want to listen to the signal afterwards. The
full 120 dB dynamic range (from max.input level and down) will be converted to 40 dB
and the signal is stored as a 16-bit wav-file.
Set Automatic Gain Control to Off if you need to record calibrated signals or need to
analyze the wav-file afterwards on a PC. Select Resolution = 24 bit (recommended) to
cover the full 120 dB dynamic range (from max. input level and down) or select
Resolution = 16 bit and specify the Peak Recording Level.
9) Under Input you specify Trigger Input if you want to start the recording using an
external trigger signal. See details in Appendix A.

12.2.2 Controlling the Recording
The measurement is controlled in the same way you would control a normal Sound Level
Meter measurement, using Start/Pause , Continue , Back-erase and Reset
pushbuttons, see 3 for more details.
When the measurement signal is being recorded, then the Recording icon is displayed in
the Status Field. The recording is attached to the profile as a Marker 6 (Sound).
If you set Recording Control to Automatic, the recording will start when the measurement is
started and last for Maximum Duration or Elapsed Time, whichever is smallest. If you continue
a paused measurement, then a new recording is started.
If you set Recording Control to Manual Event, the recording will start the first time you press
the Manual Event pushbutton during the measurement (this starts a Manual Event marker and
a Sound marker), and stop the second time you press it; if you press it a second time before
Minimum Duration has elapsed, then the recording will continue until Minimum Duration has
