“Leq” is the average sound level of the highlighted
frequency band for the duration of the measurement.
L
max
L
max
is the maximum sound level of the highlighted
frequency band. The maximum spectrum is determined by
the Max Spec setting.
Bin Max
: When set to Bin Max, this value is the maximum
value which occurred during the entire measurement for
that frequency band. Since individual frequency bands
may reach their maximum levels at different times, this
spectrum might be one which never occurred at any
instant during the measurement period.
At Max
: When set to At Lmax, this value is the
instantaneous spectrum at the moment when the
broadband maximum occurred (such as LSmax).
L
min
L
min
is the minimum sound level of the highlighted
frequency band for the duration of the measurement. Since
individual frequency bands may reach their minimum
levels at different times, this spectrum might be one which
never occurred at any instant during the measurement
period.
