Downloading Saved Recordings
Models ‘L’ and ‘E’
As standard all model ‘L’ and ‘E’ instruments are shipped with Castle’s noise
analysis software dBdataPro – LITE.
The full version of the software is available by purchasing a license key, consult
your software user manual or contact Castle for further details.
Using the software dBdataPro it is possible to download the stored recordings
on your meter to your PC allowing the data to be viewed and printed in
professional reports.
Communication between a PC and your Sonus meter is made via the 9 pin
connector at the right side of your instrument to a free USB port on your PC or
laptop. The cable is supplied as standard with all Sonus ‘L’ and ‘E’ instruments.
Your Sonus ‘L’ or ‘E’ Instrument has specialised USB drivers that MUST be
installed correctly for the instrument to successfully download.
For comprehensive instructions please refer to the dBdataPro user manual.
The instrument does not need to be placed in any special mode or any menu
option selected to download, simply follow the operational instructions for the
software and also ensure the following: -
•
Supplied USB drivers are installed correctly
•
Instrument is ON
•
Communication cable attached to instrument and PC
•
dBdataPro software Version 3.2 or higher is installed
It is highly recommended that data is not downloaded whilst the instrument is
currently in
Record
mode and recording data. Under such circumstances it is
possible that transferred data may become corrupt.
