WYSIWYG

Noise Work is “What You See Is What You Get” software. You place, resize, and manipulate graphical objects, images, graphs, text, and other types of objects on a page. What you see displayed on the screen remains unchanged on the printed report.

Instruments Supported

Noise Work software interfaces with the Larson Davis Models 812, 814, 820, 824, 870B, 2800, 2900, 3200, SINUS Soundbook™

Measurement Organization

Noise Work saves all measurement-related files as elements of a project file. Project files can contain measurement data, page descriptions, images, audio files, etc. All data are organized in a tree structure (like Windows Explorer™). In addition, Noise Work allows you to drag & drop any object onto project reports.

Graphics

It is possible to perform any kind of graphic presentation with dimensions, scaling, dotted lines, bar graphs, overlaying, linear and log scales, EU, cursor synchronized among the graphics displayed, etc. Any combination of graphs and objects (even an entire document) can be saved as a template. In addition, you can perform cumulative distribution versus time and for each frequency band, percentile Ln versus time and frequency; frequency versus time, speed, distance or rpm; order analysis, RT-60, etc.

Data Post-Processing

Noise Work calculates functions including all mathematical operations from data blocks, spectra, multi-spectra, levels versus time, engine revolution or speed, and more. Levels of selected spectral bands can be modified or cancelled, both in frequency and in time domain, for data matrix or multi-spectra. Several weighting curves are included with the software.

Optional Modules

Noise Work can be expanded to meet your measurement needs with the following modules:

PC Direct Store

• Stores data directly to a PC’s hard drive
• Intended for applications where instrument memory is not sufficient, e.g. environmental monitoring, passby’s, and long run-up

File Audio

• Stores time domain signal from the instrument to the PC sound card, and then to the hard drive
• Sound file can be attached to a graph or page
• Creates “.WAV” files

Order Tracking Analysis

• Order extraction from autostore by-Tach
• Graphics template for order analysis
• Spectrum vs RPM or Speed for frequency or order

Building Acoustics

• RT-60 with backward Schroeder integration
• ISO R140 & ISO 717
• ASTM E90-E336 & ASTM E007

Acoustic Intensity

• Support for ISO 9614
• Contour plotting (planar only)
• Overlay on DXF Autocad file of the measurement surface
