Sampling For Statistics
• The octave or 1/3-octave Band level Distribution *, Cumulative Distribution * and statistics LXYN1-5 * are based on sampling LXY(Inst.) every 100 ms into 1 dB wide classes over a range of 80 dB
• The broad-band Level Distribution, Cumulative Distribution and Statistics LXYN1-5 are based upon sampling LXY(Inst) every 10 ms into 0.2 dB wide classes over 80 dB

* BZ 7206 only
Fast Logging - BZ 7206 Only
Broadband LAF(Inst.) may be stored every 100ms during background logging and/or during event logging

Calibration
Initial calibration is stored for comparison with later calibrations.
Acoustic: Using Multifunction Acoustic Calibrator Type 4226, Pistonphone Type 4228 or Sound Level Calibrator Type 4231
Electrical (internal): Uses internally generated electrical signal combined with a keyed-in value of microphone sensitivity. Initial calibration is stored for comparison with later calibrations
CIC (Charge Injection Calibration): Injects internally generated electrical signal in parallel with microphone diaphragm.
Reference CIC ratio is stored for comparison with later CIC
• A reference CIC is done automatically during External or Internal calibration and stored for later comparison with a new CIC
• A manual CIC can be done whenever no measurement is in progress
• An automatic CIC can be part of a logging measurement, where the CIC repetition rate can be set to be up to 4 times in a 24 hr. period.
• An automatic CIC starts at a 'logical' break in a measurement sequence, shortening the following measurement period by 15 s

Measurement Control
Measurement Types:
Manual - manually controlled single measurement
Automatic - with pre-set measurement time from 1 s to 100 hours in 1 s steps (BZ 7210 only)
Sequence - repetition of a single measurement up to 9999 times (results stored with or without statistical data). Measurement time selectable from 1 s to 100 hours in 1 s steps (BZ 7206 only)
Logging - a single measurement with a selectable duration of 1 s to 100 days in 1 s steps. Logging duration divided into logging intervals of 1 s to 100 hours in 1 s steps
Logging with Events - as Logging, but with the ability to measure a different set of parameters and time base when an event trigger is recognised (BZ 7206 only)
Elapsed Time:
When not in Logging mode, elapsed time resets/starts and pauses/continues according to the respective command. In Logging Mode, elapsed time continues in real-time, regardless of pauses in a measurement

Triggers (Bz 7206 Only)
Four types of event trigger are available:
• Level - monitors LAF(Inst) every 1 s. Event triggered when LAF(Inst) exceeds the set level for set period (both user-defined for 1 dB/1 s increments)
• Softkey - using < Start Event > and < Stop Event > soft keys
• External - + 5V on pin 9 of serial interface
• Remote - start and stop commands sent over the serial interface
All triggers can have pre- and post-trigger time intervals of up to 15 s (in 1 s increments) allocated to them

GPS Data
A position can be attached to a measurement job by inputting data from a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver via the Serial Interface
Receiver Standards Supported: NMEA 0183 ver. 2.20, optional corrected to Differential GPS using RTCM104 ver. 2.1
Baud Rate: 4800 bps

Timers
Up to nine independent timers can be specified. Each timer 'wakes-up' the analyzer at a specified date and time and initiates a measurement in accordance with pre-defined set-ups. Timed measurement can be repeated up to 999 times. Timers from different software applications can be mixed

Back Erase
Up to the last 15 s of data can be erased.

Markers
One data exclusion marker and four user-definable markers for on-line annotation of sound categories heard during the measurement (logging only)
Markers can be edited, while measuring, up to 60 s after the sound is heard (BZ 7206 only)

Control Of Sound Recording
Sound recording (.wav files on a PC using 7815, 7820 or 7825) can be controlled from 2260 via RS-232 interface and Aux output connected to the sound card on a PC
Markers and Events (BZ 7206 only) can be used to control recording on a PC
