SLM&RTA (SSA)
The SSA ID performs simultaneous sound level
measurements and real-time spectrum analysis using 1/1 or
1/3 octave bandwidths. The Instrument Type designation
“SSA” represents Sound Spectrum Analyzer. Sound levels
during the measurement period are displayed and can be
stored for later recall. In addition to a live spectrum display,
the System 824 can display an equivalent level (L
eq
)
spectrum, a minimum bin by bin level (L
min
) spectrum and a
maximum level (L
max
) spectrum, which is the spectrum time
