Basic Measurement Setup
This chapter describes how to setup the LxT to perform
basic sound level measurements, including the following:
• Leq, Lmax, Lmin corresponding to user-selected
values of frequency weighting and detector
• Lpeak and Lpeak(max) corresponding to a user-
selected value of frequency weighting
• 1/1 and/or 1/3 Octave real-time spectra (LxT-OB3
required)
• Six values of Ln based on six user-selected values of
the parameter n
• Count of the number of times the levels (RMS and
Peak) exceeded user-selected threshold values
• Sound exposure and sound exposure level data
The LxT can measure many additional sound
parameters simultaneously with these basic sound
measurements, as described in subsequent chapters.
