Measuring noise with your doseBadge
11.1
Starting a measurement
11.1.1 Scheduled measurements
If scheduled measurements have been configured and enabled on your doseBadge, they
will be activated once it has been removed from the dock.
Remove your doseBadge from the dock and attach it to the person whose noise exposure
you need to measure (see page 30 for more details). Measurements will start, pause
and stop as defined in the scheduled measurement settings. See page 45 for details of
configuring scheduled measurements.
Please note that when a doseBadge5 is connected to a powered CU:120A dock, the
scheduled measurements will not be activated.
11.1.2 Starting a measurement with NoiseTools
Measurements can be started and stopped
through NoiseTools.
The status of any doseBadge dosimeters that are
connected to the dock is displayed in the dock
window as shown on the left.
In this example, the instrument is stopped. The
red ‘stop’ icon below the image of the doseBadge
shows this.
Information about the current battery charge
and the available memory in the instrument is
also displayed.
In this example, the battery is fully charged
(100%) and 91% of the available memory is free.
To start a measurement, press the green ‘start’
arrow and the instrument will begin a new
measurement.
The green arrow will become a red ‘stop’ button,
allowing measurements to be stopped manually.
