1.9 dB23 SoundTrack Software
The CEL-6811 dB23 Software enables data collected by the CEL-450 and
CEL-490 to be downloaded to a PC for storage, manipulation and the
production of reports. It also enables the PC to exercise comprehensive
control over the sound level meter.
Data can be exported in ASCII format to proprietary word
processing software, while profile and statistical data can be exported as
tab-delimited text files suitable for use with spreadsheets such as Lotus
123™ (Release 2 or later) and MS Excel™. In addition, on-screen
graphing and reporting facilities are available and full on-line control can
be exercised over the sound level meter.
The dB23 Software runs under MS Windows
®
taking advantage
of the control facilities offered by the environment, so that once
installed, users with a modest knowledge of Windows will find many
operations are performed almost instinctively with a minimum of learning
time.
Downloading is performed under the control of the PC. Data
from each of the measurement runs in the sound level meter is
transferred as a series of associated datafiles together with a note file in
which comments and information can be written. Once downloaded, the
user can display the following information:
¤ Run summary for each run,
¤ Data file,
¤ Up to four profiles for each run,
¤ Notepad for user-entered notes.
