SCREEN CAPTURE

Regardless of the function, the PAA3X can 
always save screen shots of the current screen 
to recall at later dates. These are saved on an 
external SD card. Users can also load or delete 
their previously stored measurements. 

Capture:
1. 

Insert an appropriately formatted SD card to 
the PAA3X’s SD card slot. SD cards must be 

formatted as FAT-32 file systems.

2. 

In any function, on any screen, simply push 
the Capture button.

3.

  That’s all there is to it. The screen will be 

instantly  captured  and  a  BMP  file  will  be 

saved to your SD card.

Recall:
1. 

Enter the Main menu by selecting the ap-
propriate icon to the left of the screen.

2. 

Select Screen Shot from the main menu (as 
shown below). This option is only available 
when an SD card is inserted. If no SD card 
is present, the option will be grayed out. 

SETTINGS

Every  one  of  the  PAA3X’s  functions  offers  its 

own variable settings. To access the settings 
menu, select the Menu icon that is found to the 
left of the screen.

Once in the main menu, select the Settings op-
tion to access the Settings menu. The settings 

menu offers options for input source, units, re

sponse time, peak hold, and weighting - among 
other important features.

switch between the built-in microphones (Mic)

select the speed at which their calculations are 
made and displayed on screen. The response 
time can be selected between 35 ms (for explo-
sive sounds), 125 ms (fast), 250 ms (medium) 
and 1 second (slow).

3. 

Select the “View” icon to view the previously 

captured files. You can press the 

↑/←

 and 

↓/→ 

buttons to scroll through all captured 

files.

4,  Selecting the file name on screen allows you 

to scroll through all saved files. Please note
