Macro Command Processor utility allows you to easily automate measurements, record SPL and spectral data at user specified intervals/duration with time/date stamp, save files with user-defined names using a script-based programming language. It uses the underlying DDE syntax for an automation solution without requiring a third party program.
Automation interface API allows the capability for an external program to control and read results from the analyzer in real time. Works with any program that supports COM such as C++, VB, Excel, and others.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) allows the capability for an external program to control and read results from the analyzer in real time. Works with any program that supports DDE such as C++, VB, Excel, Access and others.
Data Logging utility produces an output text file containing selected spectral parameters + time-stamp for dynamic signal tracking and unattended event monitoring. |
