The download status window will appear and report the sta-
tus of the download.
The next file can now be selected, the destination folder
specified, the file name entered, and the data downloaded.
A downloaded file will be stored with
the file extension slmdl (Sound Level
Meter Down-load). If you only selected “Save Binary Data” the downloaded file
must be translated by the 824 utility software to be viewable.
The first file in the measurement list
will be viewable in the spreadsheet
or text program. To view the other
records, they will have to be selected
and opened in the viewer program
from the directory where they are
stored. If you selected “Save Binary Data” and “Launch Viewer of
Type” the Binary file will be saved and a spreadsheet pro-
gram or text file program will automatically be opened.
If you selected only “Launch Viewer of Type”, the Binary
file will not be saved and a spreadsheet program or text file
program will automatically be opened.
