Fig. 21: Screen of integrated values of Integral analysis 

 

Line 1 

It allows setting the current date/time and the measuring range in the 
same way as for the instant value display 

Lines 2- 7 

These lines show in real time the values of the following quantities 
integrated by the instrument: LAeqT, LCeqT, LZeqT, LAFmax, LAFmin, 
LAFeqT, LASeqT, LAIeqT, LAE, E, Cpeak+, Cpeak-
 

Line 8 

In this line, the left part shows the duration of the “Ts” measure set in the 
programming menu (see § 4.6.2) and the measuring time “Tm” 

 

5.  Press the “

” key to start the integration measurement. The instrument automatically 

shows the screen with the integrated values (see Fig. 21) and the “Run” message 
appears on the display 

6.  When the instrument reaches the measuring time (Tm = Ts), the instrument stops the 

integration measurement and the “End” message appears on the display. Data are 
automatically saved in the instrument’s memory
 

7. By pressing the “

” key while a process is in progress, the instrument pauses 

measurement and the “Pause” message appears on the display. In this situation: 

 By pressing the “

” key, the instrument stops measuring, shows the “Finish” 

message on the display and automatically saves the data up to that instant 

 By pressing the “

” key, the measurement in progress is automatically cancelled 

and the instrument goes back to the waiting condition, showing the “Ready” 
message on the display 

 By pressing the “

” key again, the measurement starts again from the instant in 

which it was stopped and the “Run” message appears on the display again 

 
 

 

CAUTION 

 

  While a measurement is in progress (Run), it is not possible to access the 

programming menu and it is necessary to first complete or stop it 

 The 

” icon cannot be used for data integration measurement
