Instrument Specific Setup
The software license system
Nor150 may be fitted with software option extension
at any time. The capabilities and setup options of
your Nor150 will depend on which of the available
extensions it has been equipped with.
Extensions are modules – made as software, in the
instrument. Instrument extensions are always optional
and hence often referred to as options. In this way you
do not have to pay for features you’re not going to use.
However, you may find that your tasks are expanding
into new areas of acoustics as time goes by. Therefore
a typical Norsonic extension will be available for
installation as retrofit. The optional extensions may
enhance the operation of the instrument considerably.
Normally these types of options are called modes of
operation. Such extensions may be Sound Intensity
or Building Acoustic for the measurement of sound
insulation including measurement of the reverberation
time. Please note that some hardware options cannot
be installed as retrofit.
Installing new options
Installing new options requires a new licenses code.
The licenses code should be copied onto a memory
stick. The license code is set in a text file named
License.txt. Connect the memory stick to the USB port
on the Nor150. Install the new license code in
SETUP
>
Instrument > About > License > enter license .
NOTE! Only the license code string shall be copied
to the memory stick. Not the associated text that
normally follows the license. Use Notepad or similar
simple text editors to copy the license string and
create the license.txt file.
NOTE! If you enter a time limited license code the
instrument will revert to the license code menu after
the license has expired. The license code must be
available on a memory stick and installed as
described above.

The Nor150 offers a 60 days trial period where all

NOTE that in several countries the software update
may be blocked. The reason is that your instrument
is type approved with a certain version. Hence,
updating to a non-approved version is not legal. In
this case contact your local Norsonic sales office.
