Data Logging Option
The UP260 option for the CR264A Octave Band
Sound Level Meter adds the ability to store measurements
for download to a computer. This option includes the upgrade
to the meter, a download cable and the Deaf Defier software.
This option can be ordered at the same time as the meter or it
can be purchased at a later date, in which case the upgrade will
be sent to you and there is no need to return the meter to the
factory.
The Deaf Defier software
supplied with the UP260 upgrade offers the following features
- Downloads noise measurements from the sound level meter
- Store measurements in folders for convenience
- Enter Comments and Notes for each measurement
- Display measurements individually or in a tabular format
- Graphical display of Time History (as shown on right)
- Print reports for noise at work and export data
- Exposure calculations for occupational noise applications
- Hearing protector calculations
- Advanced Instrument configuration and setup options

The upgraded sound level meter connects to the computer
using the cable supplied. The Deaf Defier software will display
all the measurements that are currently stored in the meter's
memory.
You can select the noise measurements to download or opt
to download them all. The measurements can be stored in
separate folders to help to organise your work. |
Once downloaded, the noise measurements are displayed in both
a tabular and graphical format. The numerical values for the measurement
are listed down the left side and include the time, date, duration
and measurement range along with the Time and Frequency Weightings
used for each parameter.
Hearing Protector Calculations
Using the results of Octave Band measurements and the built-in
hearing protector database, the software calculates the level
at the ear when wearing different ear plugs and ear muffs.
This hearing protector calculation is essential when high
levels of noise are measured in the workplace to ensure that
the protection provided is adequate. |

Other Calculations and Reports
The Deaf Defier software can calculate a worker's daily
noise exposure LEP,d in line with the EU Physical Agents
(Noise) Directive. Standard reports can be produced and
sent to a printer, to a JPEG image or to a PDF file for
emailing.
Exporting Noise Measurements
The measurements can be exported in many formats. In particular,
the tabular data can be sent to Excel or Word format for
further analysis or inclusion in reports. If the standard
reports that are built into Deaf Defier do not satisfy your
needs then the export option gives all the flexibility that
you need. |
