Getting Started
All models of the Sonus range of instruments have two modes of operation
referred to as: -
•
Stop Mode
•
Record Mode
Whilst the instrument is in Record Mode the noise activity is analysed and all
parameters available on your instrument are calculated.
On ‘L’ and ‘E’ models only, all data captured can be saved to the internal flash
memory and viewed or downloaded to Castle’s noise analysis software
dBdataPro
as and when required.
Whilst the instrument is in Stop Mode, on ‘I’ and ‘B’ models noise activity is not

‘E’ models calculations are displayed but not stored in flash memory.
