MEASUREMENTS DATA

LIVE MEASUREMENT

NAVIGATING IN THE SOFTWARE

READING THE GRAPH
Place the cursor over the graph to view time and noise level values.

SHOW MARKER
The “Show marker” function allows you to examine the measurements in a certain period of time. To select a period on the graph, check the box “Show marker”. A red and a blue marker will now appear.

Move the markers by pulling them from side to side. Alterna-tively, you can move them to a certain point by typing the time in the white box at the top of the marker. Remember to put a colon between hours and minutes.
In the bottom right corner you can view the values between the left and right marker.

ZOOM FUNKTION
Whenever data is shown on the graph, it is possible to zoom in to look more closely on a specific area.

ZOOM FUNKTION
The screen is now showing the magnified area.

How to exit the zoom function

1. Position your cursor anywhere on the graph.
2. Left-click and use the cursor to pull a grey area, pulling towards the left.
3. Release the cursor and the whole measurement area is visible again.

MEASUREMENT LIBRARY
Jabra Noise Guide automatically saves all live measurements to the C-drive in the folder called ”Noise Guide data”. Data imported from the Jabra Noise Guide via USB are also saved in this folder. All files are saved in a CSV format that is compatible with Excel.
Log files will be named “PC” if they are live measuements, and “Internal” if they are exported from the Jabra Noise Guide’s internal memory.
The log file names are created as follows:

1. Name of device
2. Date
3. Origin of the data (live measurement or imported via USB) Example of a live measurement:
4. Strandboulevarden-11-03-2015-PC Example of an imported measurement:
5. Strandboulevarden-09-03-2015-internal

If you wish to rename or edit your log files, this must be done from the destination folder on the C-drive. Take a shortcut to the destination folder by clicking ”Open in Explorer” in the bottom right corner.
Select “Noise Guide data” to update the folder in the software.

WHAT YOU SEE IN THE CSV FILE FOR THE NOISE GUIDE
When you open your Noise Guide measurements as SCV files, you are able to see the full picture of what is being measured.

1. Date: Shows the date of the measurement
2. Time: Shows what time the Noise Guide has mea-sured
3. LAFmax: LAF is an A-weighted fast measurement. Fast means that it measures 8 times a second. LAF-max is the highest A-weighted fast measurement within the last minute.
4. A-weighting: The A-weighting filter covers the full audio range – 20 Hz to 20 kHz and the shape is similar to the response of the human ear at the lower levels.
5. LAeq1min: LAeq1s is the a-weighted average that has been measures over the last minute.
6. LASmax: LAS is an A-weighted slow measurement. Slow means that it measures 1 time a second. LAS-max is the highest A-weighted slow measurement within the last minute.
7. LCpeak: Shows the highest C-weighted peak noise within the last minute.
8. C-weighting: a standard frequency weighting for sound level meters, commonly used for higher level measurements and Peak – Sound Pressure Levels.
9. LAeq15: LAeq15 is the A-weighted average that has been measures over the last 15 minutes.
10. LAeq60: LAeq60 is the a-weighted average that has been measures over the last hour.
11. LCpeak count: The last 4 rows show how many peaks there has been counted over the last minute from 105dB to 120 dB.

In this example, you see that there has been:

• 13 C-weighted peaks over 105dB
• 12 C-weighted peaks over 110dB
• 12 C-weighted peaks over 115dB
• 12 C-weighted peaks over 120dB

This does not mean that there has been a totalof 49 C-weighted peaks measured, but that there have been 12 peaks over 120 dB and 1 peak be-tween 105dB and 110 dB.
