Saving the Loudness Measurements Session Data.
If you are using an 8000, 5200 or WFM7x20 Series waveform monitor then you can save
the Loudness measurement data to a USB stick in the following way (for a WVR7000 or
6000 Series the Loudness session data can be stored via the network):
1. Insert a memory stick into the front of the waveform monitor.
You may have to wait a
moment for the memory stick to be mounted within the instrument. To check the status
of the USB device press the
MAIN
button and verify that the USB stick is mounted. If
the USB stick is mounted then the menu will show
USB Unmount
that indicates the
next action will unmounts the drive. If the USB device is not installed and indicates USB
Mount then press
SEL
to mount the device or check the status of the drive.
You may have to try a different device if the USB stick is not recognized by the unit.
2. Select the Loudness Session as the active tile (Bright Blue border around tile). Press
and hold the
STATUS
button to display the STATUS pop-up menu.
3. Navigate to
Save History to USB
using the arrow keys or general knob.
4. Press
SEL

device. A progress bar will be shown in the status menu to indicate the transfer of the
file.
5. The Loudness Session data will be automatically stored in a folder using the Instrument
name
InstrumentName LoudnessHist
. Within this folder a file will be created of the
Loudness History using the Instrument Name, Date and Time of the instrument as the
file name.
6. Once the data is saved to the memory stick please remember to
Unmount
the device
which can be done under the
Main
button menu. In order to prevent loss of data on the
USB device.

the instrument.
1. Connect the instrument to a PC through an ethernet hub or a direct connection with a
crossover cable to back of the instrument.
2. To allow network access to the instrument, you need to set the IP address. Network
addresses can be assigned either automatically (DHCP) or manually. If your network

use on a company network.
