Configuring scheduled measurements
The scheduled measurements function is a powerful and unique function of your
doseBadge.
It allows you to configure your instruments to start, pause and stop at specific times
throughout the day, and to enable or disable the schedules for specific days of the week
when measurements are not required. This allows instruments to be configured ready for
use before they are needed.
For example, instruments can be configured ready for a night shift and can be given
to workers, without the need for you to be there to manually start the measurements.
Measurements will be made automatically and stored in the instrument ready for download
the next day.
The overall Scheduled Measurement function can be enabled or disabled through
NoiseTools, the wand or dBLink.
If a doseBadge5 is connected to a powered dock, the scheduled measurements will not be
activated.
If a scheduled start is missed (if the badge is still on the dock for example), the instrument
can be started manually and any subsequent automatic measurements will trigger as
intended.
An example of where this can be used is as follows:
1. Configure the instruments to start measuring at 8am and run for eight hours
2. Calibrate the instrument(s)
3. Leave the instruments on the dock ready for deployment
4. Give the instruments your workforce before the scheduled start time, ready to start
measuring at 8am
5. Measurements will start automatically at 8am and run for eight hours
6. At 4pm the instruments will stop measuring
7. Return the instruments to the dock for charging & download
8. Repeat the next day

Choose the start time and the duration of the measurement. NoiseTools will show the stop
time based on the start time and duration.
